Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
That face is just perfect.
That mixture of utter confusion and shock as Pete realizes he messed up.
Also, that was Plan Z that just went up in smoke...Last edited by Kantaki; 2018-09-23 at 08:06 AM.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
Usually I don't the mind the Comic Irregulars' changes to the story. This one, I don't like.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
Yeah, this particular scene is not so much "dramatic" as it is "Pete overlooks a small detail again that leads to trouble", more of a comedic page.
It's definitely in-character for Pete, but sometimes "in-character" conflicts with "dramatic for the story".Favorite sports:

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
I assume that Pete had something that made him immune to critical hits. That seems like a Pete thing to do.
“Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
I really like that the DM tries to save Pete there.
Unfortunate that Pete's brilliant build works against him there."If it lives it can be killed.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
Live by the Min/Max, Die by the Min/Max.
Get into what looks like the only situation Dodge doesn't apply, and everything else stems from the Min/Max. No armor, trade hit points for something else, deliberately gimp everybody else's ability to apply first aid to grab that little bit more power.
This may be the most Pete thing so far in the comic.

So, any guesses how long Baze lasts? I know the movie answer, but the strip is something else.

I'm still trying to understand ... this is a *water* planet, how they got such a deep shaft in the first place.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
They probably put it in the big tower.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
Still, Ocean + Sand = high water tables,
which means after digging a short distance, they'd run into waterlogged sand and clay (etc), which means they probably had specialized equipment to hold back and remove the sand and water and mud as they dug.
Of course, it's definitely within the capacity of a government that can build the Death Star, but they probably had to ship a ton of specialized equipment and pre-manufactured building parts there.
...I suppose they could've delivered the building fully built and water-proof, and the building had a drill-thing on the bottom that just sunk further and further into the island as it ran.Favorite sports:

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
If they used any kind of energy bore to dig the hole, the sides would've been melted and fused, probably into something that resembles high-silica basalt (can't remember the technical term--is there a dwarf in the audience?). Bingo, a nice thick crust of stone between you and the water.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
I think this part of the movie may actually represent the Comic Irregulars spending less time thinking about something than the people who made the movie. In the movie, the planet is just a homogeneous mix of shallow seas and short islands. In the comic the empire created the planet whole-sale by exporting all the water from Kamino to serve as a new planet to put their nefarious data archive on.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
I mean, they are in a tower. Who's to say they didn't just go up a few floors and the bottom of the shaft is the ground floor?

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
That's a good point; didn't they have to go up to the top of the tower to get to this data room?
Alright, so you've just got a really tall tower, with a giant hole in the middle, with see-through grates that you can fall onto, with no safety rails, but at least a glass wall.
... and a hand-operated data loading mechanism.Not "fire at". I never used the word "at"

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
There was probably a way to automate the loading mechanism. Too bad they left their walking computer outside the vault so they had nobody to operate it.
(That said, this is one of the places where the movie felt a little weak. I think the last 50 strips took about 5 minutes in the movie. It is kinda intense and, well, seeing a rocket hit a walker and leave no mark is pretty awesome.)

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
I feel bad for any employee that accidentally drops a data crystal down the shaft. I have a feeling it's not like a crane game and the idea is to drop the prize down a hole to retrieve it.
