Even with frothing wookies, I seriously doubt your typical SW game varies from what I stated.

Further, most PCs recognize that a Wookie can have 7D of Brawling at the start, and to have a chance ag ...

Not particularly. The bulk of combat ends up being ranged (and lightsabers), and therefore it is only logical for the propensity of defensive points to get spent on Dodge rather than both Melee Parry ...

The ruling we use in our game is that you CAN use dodge against Melee Combat or Brawling, but it means you're not evading a blow, while still remaining in the fight (like a boxer would) but you are di ...

Generally, when dealing with these powerful creatures, I've always taken the approach of maintaining distance to avoid getting hit...

One option WEG had at its disposal to circumvent this is to use Scales.

Sounds like a good solution, but I am loathe to go through a restat the necessary creatures - easier just to plot device the ...

Being badass with just your own skills is much more satisfying. I feel being badass with a FP cheapens it a little.

I dont think so. I use FP to do stuff my chr on his own would be impossible to d ...

Spending a FP lets a character be a truly heroic badass for a round, which is something most PCs would relish

I've been pretty badass without Force Points though Razz

Just takes some oblique thinkin ...

Quite right. The only difference is what "from time to time" means to each of us. For some it might be every other adventure, for some every other year.

That goes back to my Premise No. 2 ...

Even without a master available to help them avoid the double cost? I find that no one is willing spend the double cost, so they only increase force skills when a means for increasing them is avail ...

And if training is good, why shouldn't a character choose to do some training in any given skill during down time between adventures, increasing that skill with XP?
I don't have a problem with downti ...
