Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
Aurilee, Chirrut originally introduced himself as a "Jedha monk". Since the Peace Moon happened to Jedha... I suppose he switched to "monk at large".

Er, that's "I defected" as in "I switched sides", Keybounce, not "defective" as in "not working correctly."

I'm going to go with the commentators here. Letting the homicidal droid drive was a bad idea.

There's a reason droids should have restraining bolts built into their circuitry. Actually, there are lots of reasons.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
Hey keybounce, did you know how the Germans found partisans in WWII? They waited until the band had made 6 or 8 raids and then just drew lines across the map to connect the points (12 to 6 o'clock, 2 to 8 o'clock, etc). Where the lines crossed was the base.
It's really easy to get people to tell you where they live.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
This only works if the raiders are operating in a circle around their base. If they are based off of a highway and are making raids along the highway, then all your lines end up going along the highway. However, knowing this strategy, I would plan my raids so the center was the residence of the local occupiers.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
So, does anyone know
Spoiler: ROwhy they changed Jyn's name to Bria? Like, I get that they changed Saw to Kyle because they wanted to be consistent with what they had previously said had been Jim's character, which itself was based on the EU that is no longer canon. Was Bria another Legends character that they mentioned and I forgot about? Or did they just decide to change her name for no apparent reason (or for a reason we haven't gotten to yet)?

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
Technically I don't need to spoiler this, since everything EU has been de-canonized and tossed into an industrial wood chipper, but better safe than sorry.
Spoiler: Bria's storyBria Tharen is the primary female character from The Han Solo Trilogy by A.C. Crispin. Han rescues her from slavery in a drug lab, loses her because he's too poor for a rich girl like her, regains her when she hires him to help raid her former captors but loses her again because the Rebels betray everybody who helped them.* With everyone else treating Han as poison because he vouched for Bria, he's forced to work for Jabba to pay the bills, leading to the Kessel Run and dumping the cargo of drugs. Bria meanwhile leads a raid on Toprawa to steal the Death Star plans**, which gets the plans but gets everyone killed (including her). A surprising messenger brings Han the news just after Jabba handed him a bill for the cargo (at multiples of the price) and a running interest rate that makes loan sharks look like pikers. Han decides he needs a stiff drink, and heads to a certain bar...
*Note that this is the explanation for Lando's line about 'having a lot of nerve after what you pulled'.
**Also a reference to an adventure for West End Games D6 Star Wars on the subject. Anyone who survived to the end was personally executed by Darth Vader in GOD MODE.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
I wonder if there's some sort of list somewhere of every time in the EU / Legends / current canon that the story of the Death Star plans getting stolen has been told? The Wookiepedia Legends article on the plans is somewhat useless because it's explicitly written from the perspective of trying to unify all the conflicting versions rather than trying to document the numerous conflicts.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
In the EU, the Bothans grabbed the plans for the DS2 in Shadows of the Empire. The third book of the HS Tril dealt with events feeding direct into Ep IV (and is itself consistent with the game). And one of the anthologies had a story about somebody trying to sabotage spare parts for the DS2 superlaser array. As far as I recall, that's about it, and I read everything back in the day.
For anything since the PT hit, you'd need to find another geek.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
From what I remember about that, it felt like a rather cheap way to explain the "many Bothans died to bring us this information" line. There's a space battle, a squadron of Bothans in starfighters is involved, and a missile unceremoniously blows them all up. No valiant heroics, or extraordinary risks taken for an important cause, and certainly not the long chain of such things that line gave me the impression of, just one battle they didn't expect to be all that serious and one unexpectedly powerful missile.
I'd be tempted to complain about railroading, but "it took frikkin' Darth Vader to kill my character" is a pretty badass boast for Star Wars.Like 4X (aka Civilization-like) gaming? Know programming? Interested in game development? Take a look.

In case you don't know yet Keybounce, Krennic is the one in the hat. The one who had the cape and was self-important seeming.

Ah, continuing the fine tradition of splitting the party far more than is remotely wise I see.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
Hey, at least they're all still at the same table. I've had games where the GM put us in separate rooms (on different floors) after we split up one time too many.
