Your origional character should just be able to buy a special kind of droid, which would in turn open up the droid character slot. I think droids should be limited in certain professions, but then again have advantages in others (and I agree, no droid Jedi).

If droidswould even be considered (which I doubt), Ithink itd be a better idea to get it kind of like how you get your jedi character (easier of course) but instead you open a "droid characterslot" where you can choose to make asecond character thats a droid. Or maybe receive a droid thats your original character's pet thatyou can play as (sounds like a good idea to me, actually now that I think of it, sounds really fun). There were MUCH more beings that were solo than droids that were solo, so it shouldnt be able to be chosen at the start of the game.






Are we re-creating a perfect "star wars" universe for some science project, or playing a game for fun?

Interesting idea, but imagine all the droids that would be running around, acting like they own the place. Cyborgs, on the other hand...that would kick serious booty.

Don't worry, im sure it's gonna be an expansion pack someday, just like jump to lightspeed. It's gonna have to be because if you were a droid , your health, resourcers , armor, eveyrthing would have be completely different.LOTS of stuff to change.It probablly won't happend for a while, but it will eventually.

Sincenearlyeverything in SWG isbased on the Star Wars RPG from West End Games back from years ago, I would say that having droids as a playable character is very possible since there are guidelines in West End'sStar Wars RPG core rulebook on players playing them as characters. There are some interesting benefits and limitations when playing a droid. I am willing to bet the the devswill use this information as a guideline if they ever make droids playable.
