Okay, first thing you need to do is find out who and what you are.
Choose character template

Arrogant Noble: Like Princess Leia.
Armchair Historian: No doubt you know what happened in Star Wars- Episode I, II, and III.
Bacta Merchant: You sell bacta.
Bacta Pirate: You steal bacta.
Bacta Smuggler: You hide bacta.
Bounty Hunter: You�ll never be as cool as Boba Fett, but look what happened to him.
Brash Pilot: Like Luke when he was bragging about what a hotshot pilot he is. Obnoxious little jerk.
COMPNOR Military Liason: You used to be part of a pro-Imperial group that rooted out members of Rebel cells and JAN operatives.
Corporate Slicer: Computer hacker for a company.
Disgraced House Guardsman: You screwed up somehow.
Disguise Artist: Probably the lamest thing on the list, except for the Sullustan, both of which will draw all the Stormtrooper attacks.
Ewok: Like Wickett. Small Teddy bears who ruined the third (sixth) movie.
Failed Jedi: I say Ben Kenobi counts here, the old loser. Alright, alright, maybe not, but someone who just didn�t make the Jedi cut.
Freeworlds Artist: Since the Empire made heavy funding cuts to the NEA, you�ve been doing charcoal drawings of people on the boardwalk. Curse the Empire!.
Gambler: Like Lando. Someday you�ll break even.
Gamorrean: Big, strong pig dudes that Jabba used as guards.
Herglic: A humanoid whale alien.
Herglic Archaeologist: A humanoid whale alien that studies the past.
Herglic Freeworld Trader: A humanoid whale alien that trades.
Herglic High Stakes Gambler: A humanoid whale alien that is a gambling addict.
HoloVid Gossip Columnist: Just don�t gossip about Lord Vader.
House Guard: Protects a noble house.
House Guard Captain: In charge of the guys who protect a noble house.
House Guard Officer: In charge of the guys who are in charge of the guys who protect a noble house.
House Knight: You�re the elite of the above.
House Retainer: You serve a noble house in whatever capacity they need.
House Troubleshooter: You serve a noble house taking care of their dirtier requirements.
ISB Agent: Member of the Imperial Service Bureau. You used to root out pirates, smugglers, and anti-Imperial corruption.
Ithorian: Hammerheads. One such alien hangs out in the Mos Eisley cantina.
Jan Operative: Member of the Justice Action Network- a radical, violent anti-Imperial group. Basically, a terrorist.
Jawa: Technically oriented lil� guys. They sold R2D2 and C3PO to Luke�s uncle.
Kid: What Luke would be without Force powers.
Laconic Scout: If you�re always out ahead of everyone else, there�s nobody to talk to.
Locator: You�re better at finding people than a bounty hunter, but they�re better at the firefight that follows.
Loyal Retainer: Loyal servant of a noble house.
The Merc: A mercenary.
Mining Guild Recruiter: You convince operations to join the mining guild, or else.
Minor Jedi: What Luke actually is.
Mon Calamari: Like Admiral Akbar. Big eyed amphibious aliens that sound like they should be into Rasta, mon.
Mrlssti: Flightless avian alien.
Mrlssti Roving Entertainer: Flightless avian alien who must be like a canary.
Mrlssti Swindler: Flightless avian alien who rips people off.
Mrlssti Tutor: Flightless avian alien who teaches.
Old Senatorial: Like Strom Thurmond. (Strom is actually a pretty cool Star Wars name.)
The Outlaw: Like Robin Hood out for blood.
Pirate: If you�re smart, you'll carry a blaster instead of a sword, but the parrot is still cool.
Professional Thief: If you�re a professional, you must be good at it.
Quarren: Squid Heads. If you take this alien, please don�t name your character Cthulhu.
Quixotic Jedi: What Don Quixote would be in Star Wars.
Rebel Conspirator: What Leia was before the Empire found out that she was a member of the rebel alliance and a spy.
Retired Imperial Captain: You got out before Darth Vader strangled you.
Saber Rake: Headstrong punk who likes dueling with a lightfoil- that�s a small (and banned) version of the lightsaber.
Sand Person (Tusken Raider): Poor sandpeople. Look what they�ve been reduced to. I bet with a little education and a home loan, they could�ve made something of themselves.
Security Specialist: You�re an expert at keeping bad guys out of places they shouldn�t be.
Smuggler: Like Han Solo.
Sullustan: Jowled, mouse-eared humanoids. One flew with Lando to destroy the second Death Star. Lando got no respect.
Tongue-Tied Engineer: Like a less proficient Star Trek Scotty, but with a stutter? The James Bond `Q'-like guy on `Alias' would be one of these.
Tough Native: Tough guy who is native to a more low-tech world.
Twi�lek: Like Bib Fortuna, Jabba�s flunky. Jabba also had one as a dancer. I believe he fed her to the Rancor. Tough audience.
Weapons Instructor: I imagine you know weapons pretty well if you teach them.
Wookie: Like Chewbacca. A giant Teddy bear.
Young Senatorial: Leia fits in here too.
Droid: Just don�t come crying to me if the other players slap a retaining bolt onto you, because they can.
