Well, let's just say that "I find your lack of faith disturbing", Chicagofan
Ok, first thing's first. Yes, I do know who Wicket W. Warwick is, of course. I just didn't know he was Chirpa's son (thanks for the info, btw). And well, that's because, like most SW fans, I'm not that big into Ewoks (or Gungans, for that matter). Hence, Ewok lore is certainly not my area of expertise.

I have already acknowledged that your league includes a few main characters, yes. Just not enough. But please, don't tell me that Prune Face (seen only briefly in Jabba's court room in ROTJ) is a "notable" SW character. That'd be insulting even to a "casual" SW fan.
As for EU characters...well, some fans like 'em and some hate 'em. In my case, I'm neutral. But, other than those which Lucas himself used in the Prequel Trilogy (i.e: Ayla Secura, Quinlan Vos), there's no way anyone can tell me that they are important or notable characters in the SW universe. But even if that were the case, I can think of several EU characters for the time period that you've chosen for your EBL, who are far more important than Karrde, Durron or Garm-Bel Iblis, such as Mara Jade, Admiral Thrawn, Corran Horn or the mad Jedi clone Joruus C'Baoth, for instance.
Seeing your choice in characters it's my turn to ask, are
you a SW fan?

No Jar Jar, yes. And as Threepio would say, thank the Maker for that!

I don't question your league, its teams, locations, settings or players. That's the wonderful thing about OOTP, that we can all create custom baseball universes to our liking and share them with others, should we choose to do so. What I've been talking about is the way you describe your league.
Endor is a star system located in the Star Wars galaxy. Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Han Solo, Chewbacca the Wookie and Lando Calrissian are all SW characters.
You start out your dynasty entry by quoting the "A long time ago, etc." opening words for every single SW film (except for the animated Clone Wars movie, perhaps) and yet, you're telling me that it is not a SW league?
Well excuse me, but at first glance, that's exactly how it appears; like a SW league. But, in order to avoid any further confusion, I'd change the description and terminology I'm using for the league. Nothing easier.

Obviously, I wasn't questioning your choice of planets because of Coruscant, Alderaan, Naboo, Tatooine and Corellia (yes, I know this is Han Solo's home world. I've read A.C. Crispin's books, as well as Brian Daley's. So I know the character's life inside & out, believe me). I was questioning your choice of Dantooine, Tanaab and/or Bakura.
From the films and instead of Dantooine and Taanab, for instance, I would've chosen Yavin and Bespin for their historical importance, if not for anything else.
From the EU, I would've chosen Korriban and/or Sonama Zekot over Bakura, without even thinking about it twice. Those planets are, after all, home planets to the Sith and Yuuzhan Vong; by far, the best and most important villains in the SW Universe, both on film and in the EU and by far, much more important locations than Bakura. But then again, that's just me and my "lack of knowledge" of SW lore and history heh heh...

Yes, I know. I downloaded the quickstart and that's why I asked you if it was not a SW-only league, when I saw names like Gotham, Bruce Wayne and such. Not interested in a DC Comics league, to tell the truth.

No, this isn't my cup of tea, you're right. But it's not fine.
Because your description of this league misled me into believing that the EBL was something that it clearly isn't. So again, nothing easier than a change in choice of words to describe the league, as to avoid any further confusion.

Thank you but it'd be much easier for me to create a SW-based league on my own. Haven't done it yet, because I'm currently developing 3 different leagues (I'm a graphic designer, so creating my team logos, unis and even ballparks presents little difficulty. I have been sharing some of them here as they come along, actually) and I haven't had the time to work on a SW-based league. Hence the reason why I thought it'd be cool to download your QS. Still, I may yet get my own SW league started, soon as I'm done with my other projects.
Also, thanks for your prompt replies and explanations. Much appreciated and again, good luck to you and your projects in the future.
