I still want an example of what Sarah's saying. I don't think "canon" and "premise" are the same thing. You can have canon and totally miss the point, thereby lacking premise.You can play in the Aliens universe and think that it's about military hardware and wisecracks, not desperate motherhood.
You can play in the Star Wars Galaxy and think that it's about Good vs. Evil or starfighters and not choosing when to, and not to, fight for what you believe in.
Maybe you see something that I don't see in what she's saying, but I want to know what she's getting at.
