[OOC] Star Wars: Alt History

[Reflection]

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Name: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ben Kenobi)
Species: Human
Age: 57
Force Sensitive: Yes (yes/no; It's highly unlikely that anyone with actual Force powers would be involved outside of established characters, but you might have the potential to learn if Obi-wan or Yoda survive long enough to teach you)
Skills:
- Expert Duelist: Ol' Ben is a master duelist in the lightsaber arts. His power primarily comes from his ability to out patience his opponent. Often times his success depends strictly on the fact that his enemy makes a mistake, or loses their cool. In time, he will usually win. If he can ever last that long.
- Master of the Force: Ben has been involved in the jedi order since he was young. In truth, he was powerful even then, and respected by all his peers. He was a match, at one point for Darth Vader.
- Skilled speaker: There are few who can outwit Ben Kenobi in a battle of words. So in all honesty it's best you probably not. He twists words like he fights. Defensively, and overwhelming.
Equipment: A single lightsaber, and a modified jedi cloak are his only possessions. He's still not fully able to abandon the jedi lifestyle.
Bio: WIP

It's clear in this version Obi is going to be more important, so I'll be taking him over for the time being. So people can interact with him more.

@ReflectionSure, you can take Obi-wan.

[Reflection]

@TheUnknowable Out of curiosity, is the old man Obi-Wan in your latest post?

[TheUnknowable]

@ReflectionYep. I figured he would have kept enough of an eye on her to recognize her face. Also, she's kind of a celebrity.

[Shadow Daedalus]

@Reflection Just to clarify, Khyrr and HK are in space, not on the planet.

Zeros (the Miraluka with the sword) is with the Princess

[Reflection]

@Shadow Daedalus Ah thanks for the heads up. Misread all that. I'll update, and probably bother you with Vader when he arrives.

I'm not sure if I want to have Leia piece together who her mother was or not.

I'm not sure if I want to have Leia piece together who her mother was or not.

@Burning Kitty

Unlikely. Since Anakin and Padme's relationship was never public. Nor would she know Vader is her father either.

@Reflection

I never mentioned anything about her figuring out that Vader=Anakin.

Bail knows the following (established in novels and ROTS):
Padme is the mother. (ROTS)
Anakin is the father. (Novel: Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader & a video he left for Leia referenced in the novel Bloodlines)
Anakin = Vader. (video he left for Leia referenced in the novel Bloodlines)

While Bloodlines takes place after ROTJ and before TFA the video was created before his death.

I know I had Bail tell Leia about the Jedi, didn't specifically mention who in the CS but Bail worked with Yoda & Obi-Wan, so he definitely would have told her about them, if it was me I would have told her about Anakin but leaving out the part of him being Leia's father. I didn't say Bail told Leia about Padme but if it was me I would have again leaving out the mother bit. In Legends Amidala's former handmaiden Sabé was one of Leia's tutors (court etiquette and diplomacy), so Leia would more than likely have heard of Padme from her if not her father, and since I glossed over most of her childhood because YAWN, Sabé could still have been a tutor. The droids I specifically had Leia say Bail insisted on taking them, she knew who the droids belonged to.

Knowing that one might reasonably piece together that since Anakin is the father Padme might be the mother.

[TheUnknowable]

@Burning KittyDo you mind if I say Luke is the head of one of the TIE squads on the Death Star?

[Burning Kitty]

@TheUnknowableCool with me.

What is your stance on Leia figuring out Padme is her mother after being told Anakin is her father?

I see Tarkin has a death wish.

[TheUnknowable]

@Burning Kittypeople would know that they were good friends and that they worked together a lot, so it isn't that hard to figure out. I think she could do it.
Obiwan knew who her father was when he saw how close they were after Padme got pregnant.

In one of the books Tarkin figured out that Vader was probably Skywalker, he just wasn't sure. Vader calling for the Death Star to blow up a random backwater world was the last bit of evidence he needed to be sure. He just needs to test it.

[TheUnknowable]

@Burning Kittyis Luke going by "Starkiller" (Tarkin asks him about Tatooine) or is he going by Skywalker (Tarkin also uses a possible relative of Vader to mess with Vader)?

[BrokenWashing]

@TheUnknowable Requesting permission to whip up a character sheet for the droids mentioned in my post.

[Burning Kitty]

@Burning Kittyis Luke going by "Starkiller" (Tarkin asks him about Tatooine) or is he going by Skywalker (Tarkin also uses a possible relative of Vader to mess with Vader)?

@TheUnknowable

Luke has gone by Starkiller ever since joining the Empire.

[TheUnknowable]

@BrokenWashingsure, go ahead.

@Reflection I appreciate you always mentioning the people each of your posts is relevant to. I always read every IC post but it makes paying attention a lot easier. Thanks.

C25-80 and R4-S4

Name: C25-80
Species: Protocol Droid
Age:10 (Do droids really age?)
Force Sensitive: No
Skills: Translation
Butlering

Equipment: None
Bio: C25-80 is a faulty protocol droid hailing from the planet, Cantonica. There, it served as a bartender and waiter. Unfortunately the droid developed an irreparable software glitch that enabled it to occasionally uncontrollably use offensive language in the place of words in it's speech.
A smuggler took a liking to the foul-mouthed droid and saved it from the scrapheap by purchasing the bot. After a fatal crash C25-80 ended up on the surface of Tatooine and in the care of the Jawas.

---

Name: R4-S4
Species: Astromech Unit
Age: 9
Force Sensitive: No
Skills: General Droid stuff
Equipment: His extendable arm functions as a screwdriver, welder and other tools.
Bio: R4-S4 was repairing an imperial ship when a rebel fighter blasted it off into space. It has now ended up here on Tatooine.

Hope y'all enjoy.

Is @Skelm still interested? If not, it'll effect what I'm planning to do next. Because I'm tempted to have Vader catch Khyrr's ship out of the sky with the force, or blow up the engine. Something so I can have Vader interact with a rebel. (I promise not to kill him @Shadow Daedalus.)

@Reflection

Yup, I'm still around. I've just been busy the past week or so, but I plan to work on a post to jump in within the next few days. Sorry about the delay on my part. Is there anything you need to work out before then?
