So I'm a watched-the-movies, got-partway-into-a-book Star Wars fan. My players, I suspect, have never read even part of a book.

How tenable is FFGSW for us? Do you need to know which bounty hunter infiltrated which base dressed as which entertainer to make sense of the setting, or extrapolate within it from the prepackaged adventure information?

I like Star Wars and I like the mechanics, but I don't want to be lost in the universe!

I've never read or really looked at star wars outside of the movies and cartoons and I completely get whats going on. Feel free to just fill in the blanks or misunderstanding with whatever you like and think would be cool/appropriate.

OK, cool.

My concern was that some later adventure would contradict my flailings in a painful way.

I will make things up!

Okay, but it isn’t listed as Restricted so if you go rolling around the galaxy in a Death Star nobody’s going to complain.

My shoot-from-the-hip thought (harrrrrr) would be that if the first shot with the good weapon hits and activates the second weapon with advantage, roll a Setback die and see if it counteracts the advantage. If it doesn't, the shot from the Inaccurate weapon hits -- if it does, the Inaccurate weapon misses.

But that might be mathematically wonky and arbitrary, but it makes weird sense in my head.

This is where my head went, but it seems a bit fiddly.

Thematically, the reasoning behind it would be that the second weapon's Inferior quality shouldn't affect the ability of the first weapon to hit. If the Setback from the Inferior weapon were applied to the entire roll, that would be the case.

Totally get it thematically and mechanically. I’m just concerned about adding more complexity to attack evaluation.
