We had a lot of experience with epic storylines through our Baldur's Gate series of games, so we know we are up to the task of the grand space opera tradition. Many have remarked that, with its strong archetypal themes of good and evil, Star Wars is very similar to high medieval fantasy. That may be true, but moving from one to the other is far more complicated than simply find/replacing "long sword" with "lightsaber". Star Wars has a rich and deep tradition, but as popular as the movies have been, much of it remains obscure outside of the most devoted fans. We'll enjoy introducing players to a galaxy they may not know as well as they think.
