Other Games Inspired By Star Wars
The classic science fiction role-playing game Traveller was released in the summer of 1977, very close to the release of the original Star Wars movie. As a consequence, some of the original designers have remarked that for them the game and the movie were very similar, despite the fact that Traveller is generally considered to have a more Golden Age Sci-Fi feel to it. Traveller received legal copyright threats due to the fact that Traveller Supplement 4: Citizens of the Imperium included game statistics for Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker in it as sample characters.

Famous quotes containing the words games and/or inspired:
“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
“The highest praise we can attribute to any writer, painter, sculptor, builder, is, that he actually possessed the thought or feeling with which he has inspired us.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
