Default Ballad of the 503rd: Star Wars WW

As you well know, our previous mission on the Tanative IV was a mixed success. By the time we intervened, not only had the princess done away with our plans, we were also thrust into battle against more than a few foolhardy rebels. Thanks to the quick action of Lord Vader and the 501st, however, we managed to retrieve our rebellious princess, and Lord Vader has been hard at work teaching her some manners.

However, due to the incompetency of our security, it seems we have a band of would-be rescuers on our hands, in disguise, no less. It looks as if you of the 503rd will finally have some action on your hands. Locate and eliminate them. It's time to show these filthy insurgents the true might of the Empire.

In. I think I get it. The droids are the masons, right? Luke's the fool, Ben (Obi Wan) is the seer.....

Are the 503rd the villagers or wolves?

Okay, so, Q&A time!

Because I am an idiot.

The 503rd is a squadron on the Death Star. The game takes place in Episode IV, during the rescue mission.

I constructed both teams to be different from the norm, with the protagonists taking the classic roles and the Stormtroopers earning some new ones. So in a way, you could say that Team Good has wolf roles and Team Evil has villager roles.

And you're right about the droids, Ben, and Luke. Comprehensive list time!:

Rebels (Team Evil):
Ben: Seer
Han Solo: Thief
Luke: Fool
Chewy: Baner
Droids: Masons
Assorted Rebels: Villagers

Empire (Team Good):
Vader: Devil
Special Ops:
*Sharpshooter: ... you get the idea
*Heavy: Baner
*Engineer: New Role
Bridge: Myself (Just for roleplay and Seer-information-giving)
Troopers: Wolves

Any more questions?

Then we don't have a problem, but you should probably make the limit clear. I advise an enumerated player list.
