Try this hypothetical scenario鈥?you're relaxing at the local cantina when three trigger-happy Rodian mercenaries pick a fight with the most attractive Jedi Knight you've ever seen. After the smoke clears, the Rodians are carried outside and the Jedi apologizes to everyone for making a scene. Do you:
1. Crack a joke to relieve the tension;
2. Demand the Jedi buy you a drink to replace the one that got spilled during the fight;
3. Smoothly invite your new friend back to a private booth to get better acquainted.
The answer, of course, is (d) All of the above. What's that, you say? "All of the above" wasn't among your options? Consider that your first taste of the Smuggler lifestyle. It's time to make your own options and never limit yourself to just one. Strict adherence to rules and regulations is something other people do. Smugglers make things up as they go.
Now wait a minute, I can hear you say. Nobody successfully flirts with Jedi Knights. There's no point even trying. The Jedi Code forbids romance, they wield the most lethal conversation stoppers in the galaxy鈥?and they're kind of stuck-up. A Jedi would never accept an invitation from a scruffy-looking trader, right? Wrong! Smugglers have remarkable track records for romancing people way out of their leagues. Just ask them.
Of all the stories in our game, the Smuggler ones are specifically written with an emphasis on humor and romance. If you're playing this class, you get to say the funniest things (usually at the least appropriate times), and are always on the lookout for people who find charming rogues irresistible. You'll be flirting with or laughing at the most exciting personalities in the galaxy: crime lords, gamblers, Bounty Hunters, senators, nobles, spies, Jedi and even Sith.
It's not all witty one-liners and romantic conquests, either. Smugglers lead lives of high adventure, taking on jobs no one else is crazy enough to do and answering to no authority but their own. They also don't have to risk their necks for . Unlike pious Jedi or duty-bound Troopers, Smugglers are never out of line demanding a fee for their services. The Republic needs rogues to hit Imperial convoys? Sounds like fun, if there's profit in it. The Hutts want illegal technology slipped past military blockades? No problem, as long as they pay in advance.
