[OOC] Star Wars: Alt History

[Burning Kitty]

@TheUnknowable One question, how will R2-D2 travel on a speeder bike? Wouldn't it be easier to transport R2 in a Landspeeder?

@Burning Kitty

Honestly, R2 and C3 could easily stay on the ship. Give Vader something to deal with when he gets there. It could really work to set the new story apart from the original.

@Reflection

@TheUnknowable posted saying they were going.

[TheUnknowable]

@ReflectionYeah. Just retcon it so that there is single speeder for the Princess, her two droids, and a driver/bodyguard. I didn't think about that. The other guards can ride bikes.

[TheUnknowable]

@ReflectionCaptain Antilles, a full crew, and multiple troops/security guards are still aboard the Tantive IV. He can slaughter them.

@Burning Kitty

Do it Imperial Redneck style... Ducktape and hope.

[TheUnknowable]

@SirkaithethirdLuke did just lay him on the back of his speeder beside a jet turbine when they went to Mos Eisley. Could work.

[Burning Kitty]

Found a Landspeeder that is a 4 seater. I'll use that. My next post will have her and the droids get in it.

[Reflection]

Just saying, if there is ever a chance, I want to try and recreate the scene from Thank the Maker. Or have some variation on its themes.

[TheUnknowable]

@ReflectionI never saw it in full before, though I had heard of it. Nice story.

[Burning Kitty]

Will Obi-Wan not recognize R2-D2 & C-3PO like in A New Hope even though he worked with them a lot during the Clone Wars?

[TheUnknowable]

@Burning KittyHe worked with them, but there are a lot of droids and they weren't his droids. Also, he may have some memory issues. :)
Not sure if he'll recognize them or not. May have R2 remind him.

[Reflection]

@Burning Kitty Just a heads up, but you have Inkwell's character Zenobia trying to meet Leia at her landing pad. Probably mention her or something, since that could be interesting.

[Burning Kitty]

@Reflection Thanks.

@Inkwell updated to have Leia notice your character.

[BrokenWashing]

Can I just confirm that Obi Wan would know the Jawa Trade Speak?

I was looking into it and Jawas are physically incapable of speaking "English".

[TheUnknowable]

Yeah, he would know it.

[Burning Kitty]

Know it's a little short but wasn't really much I could think of.

[Sirkaithethird]

@TheUnknowable, I'm afraid I've gotta drop. Hope this doesn't break your story.

[TheUnknowable]

@Sirkaithethirdsorry to hear that.

Everyone, I'll try to post tomorrow to get us going again. It's moving pretty slow, but hopefully it will speed up once we get to Kenobi's place.

@Burning Kitty, are you sure there isn't anything you can do to fluff up your stuff? Like have some internal monologue from Leia? Describe your surroundings? Her thoughts and feelings? I ask because you're playing two of the most important characters in the original trilogy. Not to be pushy, but such an important character should feel... Well more important. It can be kind of hard to tell at times who Leia is even speaking too. You're the center of attention, try to include everybody. Because right now all the rebel characters are with you.
