Welcome to the site, Matt.

Hope you expand your ideas and can get back to us.

Just one reminder:

so that means we would start more than 32 years before ANH

Remember that Luke/Leia are appx 18 when ANH starts. So, unless biology is different in the Star Wars universe, starting 32 years before ANH means you'll probably have to end around 19 years before ANH. Does your story cover 13 years? If not, you may want to adjust your times and ages to accomodate.

no Binks (although I do like him),

And I'm going to pretend I didn't read that so I don't have to hold that against you. ;)
