Split parties do happen, but I will concede the point. That being said, it was an example & I think the option should still be present to the players. As for Luke, I'm thinking in an RPG context, rather than the use of the title "Jedi". I would say that he was a Jedi (character class) in Episode 4, when he left his old life behind & began learning from Kenobi. Luke is a good representation of an RPG character. We meet him at a low level and watch him grow & improve, becoming much more powerful as time goes on. I'd say no other Star Wars character is a better example of an RPGish progression than Luke.

No arguments, there, but (as I mentioned in another thread) using the rules in Edge of the Empire you could easily build Luke all the way up through his training with Yoda and arguably up through the end of Episode VI. For the latter you might need to add in some powers to explain his leaping, but that's about it. So Edge of the Empire fulfills your criteria of having a Luke-like character in your campaign.

I just love the title of this thread.

I mean, it is so darn slippery. I would love to know exactly who "we" is. Does the OP mean himself and me? Or himself and other people? Does he mean the entire Star Wars RPG community? Or does he mean players of only the most recent game?

I don't know! It's madness!

It would probably be more clear and sensible if he'd titled it "Is this the Star Wars Roleplaying game I'm looking for?" 

Perhaps he means the royal we,  meaning him only.

Cool. As I have not seen the rules, I was going on the release outline FFG gave "us".

Chaos is the essence of the universe.
