Now I havent read most of the stuff here (Havent even visited these boards until I posted my story), other wise I would know the answer to this question. But when you all write backstories and stuff, do you use the SWG universe or the movie/book universe? Because they are VERY VERY different. For instance, my story is all about training to be a pilot. I think my version makes a lot more sense (both realistically and in terms of REAL star wars) than the way its handled in SWG.
I'm not trying to bash SWG cuz I think the game is great. But it certainly isnt REAL star wars. So do you all prefer to write your stories in movie starwars or SWG setting?

It depends. For the characters I create for SWG, their stories may be more based in the SWG world, and the SW world as a secondary. For example, at one point in Asron's story he'll be an EMT because for a long time he was a Master Combat Medic ingame. But he won't be going up to commoners and clicking on their radial menu.
I've written a few short stories for characters that weren't created for SWG, and they live in a world more closely related to the SW movies world.

Mine is based mostly on SWG because I'm not a SW fanactic like most. I've never read the books and the first time I've ever heard of the EU was when I started playing SWG. I have watch all the movies though and am a fan of that but that's about as far as my SW knowledge goes. In fact, I think I know more now because I play the game and have to look up stuff so that my backstory isn't totally unbelievable.

Same as Eli... I've seen all the movies and also feel like I know more now that I play this. But I think I'm more a SW fan because I played SWG..not visa versa. So I rp by SWG. And it is a rp'ing game...I think there are probably a lot of players who are rp'ers not necessarily die hard SW fans.
BUT having said that I've considered reading the books lol Then when ya'll have those SW arguments I might actually be able to pipe in!
