Thanks to everyone who has written me during the past few weeks expressing appreciation for my character generators. I am happy that I can now bring most of them back online.
Special thanks to Stephen McArthur, Esq. and to the people at WoTC to whom we all owe so much.

This little program is my gift to my fellow-gamers, and my way of saying "thank you" to the hobby's developers. Over a quarter-century, I have enjoyed a cordial relationship with people at TSR/WOTC. In return, I'm glad to help make the process of character creation easier for everyone. May the force be with you!
Please accept my apologies if this large program fails to load on your computer.
There are probably several remaining bugs. Please write me and let me know about them. While this is being tested, please go first to the bottom of the page and click the character bar and see whether a blank sheet pops up. It would be helpful to have your javascript error messages turned on.

So far, this usually seems to work okay on Netscape, but
is slower on Explorer. It takes some time to get started, during which the
browser may seem to be locked. It works on some version of "Opera" and "Safari".
It performs poorly on "Google Chrome."
I would welcome help from professional programmers.
Please be sure your browser is javascript-enabled. You may need to turn off
your anti-popup program.
I included the skill synergies, where applicable, from standard D&D.
For ultra-high level players, I kept the epic system from D&D even though it does
not really fit in the Star Wars campaign world.
The "Star Wars" game is similar to d20 Dungeons and Dragons.
Vitality points take the place of hit points and are recovered at the
rate of 1/level/hour (2 for wookiees).
Wound points equal constitution points, and are depleted by the damage
of a successful critical hit, or when vitality points are gone.
Zero wound points is unconscious,
-1 to -9 is dying, -10 is dead as in regular D&D.
A critical hit brings a non-heroic character to -1 hit points.
Prestige classes get their feats assigned automatically,
and are available as the qualifications coule be met.
For example, a dark-side marauder must have strength 13 because
"Power Attack" is a pre-requisite. A human could perhaps
become a dark-side marauder at level 2; otherwise, all prestige
classes more initial levels.
I do not foresee adding material from the supplemental books.
This will slow the program for everyone and make more people unable to use it.
Sorry.
You are more than welcome to download these generators to your
own computers and share them with your friends. If you modify them,
please give credit to me as original programmer,
and do not make an evil-oriented generator.
Of course, I am grateful to TSR/WOTC, who developed and own the game system
and graciously allow others to work with it, and to George Lucas and the others
who created Star Wars. This page, which will be
continually under construction, is intended to help people begin enjoying
adventure gaming.
Please report all errors and bugs. Thanks!
I hope you have found
this helpful and that you enjoy the d20 system and Star Wars.
Thanks to Jovas Kig, Sam Newstone, Allan Sylvia (twice), Evan Moore ("Ben Rogers"), Acrodon Fortman,
Spender Benard, Sidney Benard, Mike Abele ("Kamekazou"), Dennis Butler, Jason Sunday and Carl H. Judisch for help with the debugging,
to Haskell McRavin for suggesting that Firefox users encountering difficulty
might try an extension called "User Agent Switcher 0.6.7",
and Bryan Draolord for a helpful suggestion.
