No, what I meant was that a casual Star Wars fan (which oddly outweigh the 
roleplayers) who picks the book up shouldn't be intimidated. All those kids 
who may now graduate from Pokemon or SW CCG are also potential RPGers, and 
for that reason I'd make it as accessible as possible. And I think that book 
might not do it. The package itself is great--the material is great, too--but 
the actual layout is very dry.
