For me it will. I have seen the first few Star Wars movies but .. um it was when they came out, maybe the first one again at some point also but it's been so, so long. I do love sci-fi though but more of a Trekkie and Stargate fan and lots of movies .. that lean towards the sci-fi horror genre.
I know I can use the sci-fi elements, build/buy and CAS. But I am feeling kind of left out since I'm not a fan of Star Wars admittedly.
I plan on rewatching the movies .. the old ones as I'm not sure I'll enjoy the newer stuff. I've also played the Star Wars Old Republic games with friends so I'm aware of some of the story from that angle too.
I am looking forward to sending in a sim and aligning with a group and just actually playing out the stories as presented. I've never done that before as my (fan-girl) stories always get in the way when I get a new pack and bend it to my will.
