I choose door number 4: Engineer.

I played a tabletop Star Wars RPG hosted by a buddy, and the campaign lasted months. My character started as a scrub freelancing droid engineer. Through wit, hard work, a little luck, and making friends in high places, he made it big.

He wound up as the captain of his own Mandalorian dreadnought, named the Heavy Nova. She could mostly crew herself, as he designed an AI core for her. His regular crew was two thirds specialized droids, all designed and built by him, other specialists were all races that he hired because of their talents or gave them a chance because they needed the work. He freelanced through the Clone Wars, renting his hospital bay to the Jedi fleet, ran cargo for the Hutts, smuggled Republic commandos disguised as refugees, rescued Balmorran diplomats, and even designed a bodyguard droid who served as aide to the Organa family.

It was a fun game.
