I agree Teo, and to that end... wouldn't it be cool if the Empire came swooping through towns looking for collaborators? I mean big groups of NPC imps knocking on doors, hitting artisans and entertainers in the back of the head with their rifles seeking information, random inventory checks where you are detained and they take your holocron if you were foolish enough not to store it in the bank....and...and...the rebels would have to band together, both covert and overt (as the they would all have auto-tefs anyway) ...and ...and OMG real content, real war and tyranny....and -sorry, I got carried away. Funny thing is , I'm a covert rebel and this really sounds fun to me.
Anyway, I hope Teo is right.
