Darths & Droids VI: Thread title will appear here when received

[Fyraltari]

Eh, you shouldn't worry about that. He'll turn out to

be Rey's father

Spoiler

Show

's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.

Obviously.

What would that make them?

[Taevyr]

Spoiler: Epsiode IX

Show

Rey and Kylo have a big ol' French kiss scene, so if we could avoid having them be close relatives, that'd be neat.

Spoiler

Show

To be fair, it wouldn't be a first for the main movies, and not even that surprising considering Abrams started out by simply retreading/revamping said movies

[Anonymouswizard]

What would that make them?

Absolutely nothing, which is what you're about to become!

I want EVERYONE Rey meets to say she's their daughter.

Spoiler

Show

I think that would be brilliant, and a great twist on the whole hullaballoo around Rey's family origin. Rather in keeping with the comic's style of humor too.

Edit: "Even freakin' Palpatine is saying I'm his granddaughter? This joke is going too far!"

[MinimanMidget]

Well that was...abrupt. No campaign notes for either the GM or Sally, a 2 year hiatus with no explanation on either end, and we're right back into it. This page is mostly all the GM, so hopefully the other characters are as disoriented as I am when they get a chance to talk.

[The Glyphstone]

Yeah I was looking forward to the campaign notes.

But there's always been a 2 year hiatus between campaigns, why would they need to explain it?

[theangelJean]

They do tend to explain what everyone has been doing in the two years in between, and why there was a break, but not always in the first strip of the new episode.

[VoxRationis]

Missing a GM notes page is unusual, though.

Ooh, boy, I'm looking forward to the gang's take on

Spoiler: Not really much of a spoiler, but memnarch might not want to see this

Show

the gravity bombers and questionable tactics of both sides in the ensuing fight.

[Kantaki]

Huh. New campaign already?
Interlude feels shorter this time.

Spoiler: Episode VIII

Show

At least this should be less... frustrating than the actual movie.

Just those bombers are...
Fine, the good guys have no money, but those piles of junk?
Come on, couldn't you dig out an old Y-Wing or three?
At least those would've made it near the target.
Heck, a couple of Ewoks with slingshots would've performed better.
At least they wouldn't have blown themselves up.

Not that I'd call it a bad movie, mind you.
Not even a bad Star Wars story.
Just not a good main episode.

[The Glyphstone]

Who wants to bet that Jim and Annie will have a baby now?

[theangelJean]

Hmm.

I haven't actually watched the last two movies so I have no idea how that would fit in.

I'd put it at 50:50.

[VoxRationis]

Well, whether Jim and Annie have a baby is not necessarily related to whether any characters they play have a literal or figurative child together. I think the idea is that it seems the logical next milestone in their relationship.

[The Glyphstone]

Pretty much. Darths has been going on so long that the lives of the metafictional players have become a story in and of themselves, entirely separate from the campaign.

And poor Pete, the GM is really just rubbing the salt in at this point.

[VoxRationis]

One has to love the description "imposingly begreebled."

Tuesday edit: Now that's an unfair ruling. Jim the player will never genuinely convince Ben the player that Jim's character is actually Snoke, because Ben the player knows that that's not the case.

[theangelJean]

Had to look up the pun memnarch is talking about in yesterday's comic. But I was never allowed to watch the channel with Rocky & Bullwinkle when I was younger.

[Fyraltari]

For the record, the mini-hologram technology was never lost.

[Anonymouswizard]

Yes, but that's less handheld and more an optional extra on your camel.

[Kantaki]

New comic

Right. Annie was the crazy one when it comes to driving.
Didn't she actually wreck her car in Episode I?
(At least some damage was heavily implied. What with her coming in and going "Hey, sorry I'm late. Car trouble. By the way, I had a idea how to win the pod race. Oh, and could one of you guys drive me home?)

[Pax1138]

Reminds me of the old X-Wing novels that would go into great detail about how the pilots would adjust their ailerons or stand on the rudder pedal, etc. Still wildly nonsensical, of course, but at least they weren't calling things brakes and clutches.

[theangelJean]

I was actually wondering if they were still in atmosphere - that Peace Moon is planet-sized. But the atmospheric halo is deliberately visible in the shots, so in sci-fi terms that puts them in "space", right?

This isn't taking place at the Peace Moon, they're in space above the planet the Resistance used as a base.

Space is not actually a vacuum in Star Wars.

Remember when the Falcon landed in a cavern in an asteroid (and it was actually the maw of a space worm) and they got out of the ship in plain clothes, just with a little breather apparatus? And there were mynocks in there? And the mynocks have wings that they flap?

Plus, lasers are visible, sound travels, and the way starfighters move just wouldn't make sense without a non-vacuum medium. And, of course, there's the Force that binds the entire galaxy together and it needs a medium too.

[Fyraltari]

there's the Force that binds the entire galaxy together and it needs a medium too.

Why would it?

In spite of the name, "lasers" usually are plasma based weaponry.

[Gez]

Why would it?

Because it's made of microscopic lifeforms...

[Fyraltari]

No, it isn't. Midi-chlorians are an intermediary between people and the Force ("they tell us the will of the Force"), not its origin.

And even if so, that wouldn't necessitate for space to be full of something.

[Metastachydium]

No, it isn't. Midi-chlorians are an intermediary between people and the Force ("they tell us the will of the Force"), not its origin.

And even if so, that wouldn't necessitate for space to be full of something.

But (and bear with me), what if the will of the force is propagated by the Midichlorian Railgun, i.e. an unbroken chain of midichlorians passing along tiny scrolls?

I was going to reply with a SW sequels meme (you probably know which one it is) but in this thread that would be considered spoilers, so...

[Gez]

I was thinking of the Whills, which are even smaller and are in everything.
