Probably the owner of a small business in a primary or secondary industry on one of the less populous worlds. I've always been intrigued by the idea of scraping up an income with self-made machinery, gradualy working my way up from the bottom of things into a comfortable niche. Hey, if some Slave-boy can build a droid and a high performance vehicle in his spare time, using the contents of a junkyard, I should be able to hack togeather some useable machine tools.

I'd like to be a tramp freighter captain. Get a couple guys, and an astromech for repairs, and make my living shipping and couriering.

That's the spirit! We'll start with the preliminaries.

Allright then. First question, do you or have you ever had any value for your individual life?

Second Question. What do you think of when I say the word, Rebel?

Third question, do you have an opinion on anything political?

Congratulations. You're in! Here's your complementary E-11, armor, and "Stormtrooper's Field Manual". Read up.

We used to have an ink blot test, but we threw that out upon hearing of the Death Star's destruc... er I mean, sudden disappearance. I'm sure it's nothing serious, Tarkin's probably just taking it for spin somewhere in the outer rim. Heh, Nothing serious at all, nope.

If I was, even I wouldn't know, since GeNode creates clones and supplants memories into them, so they don't even know they're clones...

Imperials have british accent and you spelled armour the American way!? *Raises blaster* You're now suspect of Rebellious activities!

Count me in the same boat as Kendall, I'd probably get into one of the militaries whether sector forces like CorSec or possibly Imperial Marines once that time frame comes around.

Fighter Pilot through and through. I would have a blast. But, I would have to work for the Empire, to much rubbish the other route.

Much like the soldiers, I'm a geologist in real life, I'd be a geologist in the Star Wars universe. The chance to rocks from other planets, plus the remote sensing tools that must be available would make it fantastic.

Since I'd have to retrain anyway, I'm going to do something I wouldn't do in real life and try ICT. I'm sure there's a free or low-cost Imperial course on it.

Captain of a Star Destroyer, then work my way up to command of an Executor-Class Star Dreadnaught. Schatten, you want to be put in command of the garrison? I could arrange it.

I would probably be a barrister (I think they are the attorneys of the Star Wars universe; one of the Clone Wars novel had one as a character accompanying Obi-wan on a mission).

Or at least that's what I'd be in a few years. Right now, I'd be a student at a college in the Colonies. Or probably the Inner Rim.

Here at Crazy Eddie's Starship Warehouse, you won't need some Jedi mind trick to get the Lowest prices on used starships in the sector. We've got explorers, sports models, cargo haulers, family transports, all prived to move. With the way our competitors try to gouge you out of hard-earned credits, you can't afford not to buy from us here are Crazy Eddie's. In fact, if I don't make a dozen sales by the end of the day, I'm gonna kill this Ewok. Why? 'Cause I'm Crazy!
