Star Wars: Republic and Empire (OOC thread)

[drothgery]

Um, can I buy me a droid? The problem is, the Threats of the Galaxy has big oversights in it, and they have missed the price on the droid I was interested. That is, The Probe Droid from p149.

I'm going to say no on the droid, largely becaue of the whole economy of actions thing.

And I'll try to have a first in-character post up this weekend.

My laptop seems to have died, so I'm working from my old P4 (so some of my notes are on a hard drive I can't get to), and at least for the next few months I've got a tabletop game on Thursday nights.

Okay, no prob. It was just a thought.

You know, there's one continuity issue that's been bugging me about this alt timeline. Where did Leia learn the name of her real mother? I can't believe it to be just a freakishly weird coincidence to name her child Padme .

Bail died on Alderaan? Luke and Vader never made it back and so Anakin's Force Ghost isn't around?

Did Obi-Wan or Yoda appear to her as Force Ghosts? From them she could have learned about her...

Were there anyone else who knew the truth? I'm not sure but I don't think so.

Oh... Except R2-D2. Bail ordered C-3PO's memory erased but not R2's...

I know, I know. It's irrelevant, but I'm curious and want justification for Padme's name

Y'know, I never actually thought about that; for some reason, I never thought she didn't know all along. Though once she knew Anakin/Vader was her father, it would not have been too difficult to find out who he was involved with at about the right time.

Having said that, she undoubtedly did learn some from Obi-Wan and Yoda as force ghosts. Probably very soon after the battle of Endor, in fact (given that Padme's a few years 'older' than Jacen and Jaina).

You would think so, but apparently it was so difficult to figure out for Luke and Leia that bad guys were able to lure them into multiple traps based on the promise of the info. Though that probably had to do with the fact that Episode 2-3 weren't out yet so no one knew, then again, after the movies came out it was still a running ambush plot between Luke and various opponents until they finally got a recording of Padme. At least in the current EU.

Well, since all of that happened in EU stuff that I never read, and certainly didn't happen in the timeline for this game, I think I'll just say in this game's timeline Leia knew her mother's name all along.

Need an extra player or an alt? Got the new system yesterday and I'd love to put it to use.

Ah, so she knew she was adopted when growing up... Never even occurred to me as a possibility . I can live with that. Just wanted some (even remotely) logical explanation .

Maybe; it looks like one PC bailed before the game started.
