Wasn't sure if you meant we were actually in Star Wars. I have some knowledge of the universe, but as a child I had a huge crush on Anakin and was very betrayed by him being darth vader, so I swore off Star Wars and just haven't ever gotten back into it.

Really?  Interesting.  I felt betrayed after watching the prequels.  Well, we could do a different universe, one that's actually in war like you say.  Ooh!  Do you know anything about the Aliens franchise?
