I fail to see the point in a campaign demo.
Unless you plan to capitalize on BWO

The demo will provide some important backstory for the main campaign, a source of wild speculation about what's going on in the world of BWO, and a major distraction from the slow progress of the campaign.

And hey, it's only 4 missions, 3 of which are done. They were mostly completed when I lacked the inspiration to do 'proper' BWO missions anyway.

We could ALMOST tack these onto the beginning of the campaign. Not quite as I think there is too much of a time gap...but it sets things up.

Yes.

And now, mission 3 is finished. Dialogue needs implementing but is ready, and I am working on the other missions too. Hopefully they will be done shortly - I have a 4-day weekend!

Prepare the turbolaser batteries!!

Does having Grand Moff Tarkin, the Emperor, and god-knows-how-many-else villains and baddies in action movies go back to some kind of 'English people are naturally evil' mentality in American casting directors' minds? 'Cause all the people I met there were very nice, despite me being all English and stuff.
