Yeah but every group has people that doesn't think more than he plays. And often the one that does think more than he plays is the GM, and can be labeled as a Terrorist GM by said player. And sometimes when GM wants to play the game he the other GMs aren't up to the task. I have not "played" a character in a serious campaign for years cause of that. I enjoyed my old group a great deal, they just could not run games very well.
I actually like WotC star war for one reason. It returns game balance to the series, Jedi are not more overly powerful than a soldier of equal level. This is very important to an RPG, and several game (Mostly by Palladium book, which I love too lol) have a problem with balance.
I prefer the new D20 to the old AD&D 2nd edition, which I am a veteran player of about a decade. Combat is simpler, though I wish they would use the SW D20, system for vitality and wounds, it is more realistic.
