I am outside the Corellian welcome center and cant seem to go anywhere. Am i just misunderstanding the game functions or what. How do i move my char around town?

PLEASE HELP

On the right sidebar, select "Position", then "Travel", then choose "City" since you want to walk around the city (When you are in a facility, you would want "Room", when flying a ship you can choose "Hyper" and so forth)

Select the position in the city you want to walk to, and click "Go"

No Problem!
