SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Any role-playing game can be used as a one shot game, pre generated characters for a one night stand, then just use your imagination to push the envelope as far as it can go, with top priority of ensuring it's fun for all involved , for instance a bunch of insane Jawas decide to hunt down and kill Darth Vader , if it's a one shot just go whacky! Fun, fun fun. Rules for such insanity ? Fate accelerated for rules lite  , but even west end games d6 can be used .

If it's just a one-shot and I want to hit the ground running, I'd probably go with West End Star Wars and have the templates ready. Everyone knows the back story and what the heroes do, and the rules take about five minutes to learn for anyone so you can just grab a template, make your Han Solo or Ben Kenobi knockoff, and get right into the game. If you assume the PCs are already Rebel-aligned you can just have Princess Leia send them an R2 unit with a mission encrypted and there's your mission for the evening.
