The thing most here, but far from all, have trouble getting comfortable with is RPs using canon characters. There’s certainly few people who have problems with those merely sharing the setting but not using canon characters. RPers who can play a Canon character truly right are rare finds. Unfortunately, so far as we have observed, most of those who do try, fail. Many of the ones that might do it right, won't.
There will be quite a few RPs set around episode VII the coming weeks. The challenge is doing it right. If you don't, it'll die. If you do, it can live for years.
We suggest narrowing the scope, as SW is too vast an universe to cover in any one RP.
@Shade you could ask a mod to move the thread, if you feel like.
