Darths and Droids III: Search Your DNA Report

[Traab]

The face is PERFECT Jim.

[Welf]

Finally Jim found a worthy Padawan.

[Nerd-o-rama]

Where do they get all those awesome Han Solo faces?

Also, never ever let Jim near your plans.

One-frame in-between shots of Harrison Ford mugging for the camera like the ham salad he is.

I wonder if this news means that Darths and Droids will continue past the original trilogy?

(I selected the article without that horrible image. Go ahead, it is safe.)

Edit: More like Mickey Kenobi actually. Apologies for the site. Couldn't find it anywhere more... sophisticated.

Yep, they will be. There's an announcement up on D&D today:

NEWS: The big news is that Disney has acquired Lucasfilm, and announced production of Star Wars Episode VII, to be released in 2015. We are not kidding. We had to check it wasn't April too.

The good news is: We should be finished with Episode VI around then, and will be able to move smoothly on to parodying Episode VII. If the new movie sucks, we will redeem it. On the other hand, if the new movie is awesome, it will be awesome. You can't lose.

Yeah, that is the picture I was avoiding.

Good to know. I usually don't check on off days. Thanks.

#800 today! Ids & Idiots, a screencap comic based on Forbidden Planet.
Edit: Is this the fabled campaign with the shellshocked pilot?

[Yana]

Probably not. They've never actually shown the Princess bride or Van Hellsing in screencap form (as those were the two stories that acted as interludes for I-II and II-III, respectively).

Also, I hadn't realized that more Star Wars meant more d&d. This campaign is awesome!

You have two 300s; 300 and then Avatar.

It's basically "The Tempest," not that that's a bad thing.

[The Glyphstone]

IN SPAAAAAAAACE, specifically.

That sounds pretty cool actually. I do enjoy my Shakespeare. And space makes everything better.

Bear in mind that it's more "loosely inspired by the Tempest", than literally Tempest In SPAAAACE.

[Gez]

Yes, that is because for episode 300, they made two bonus "parallel universe" comics.

I guess they had Avatar ready, then noticed it'd be for episode 300 and decided that they couldn't miss the opportunity to spoof that movie.

[Nerd-o-rama]

What will you do after finishing the film?
We're not going to stop there! Next we plan to do a comic adaptation of the musical stage show Return to the Forbidden Planet.

But that's not even an actual sequel!
Do you honestly think a little detail like that is going to stop us?

I would legit read this comic.

And Sally makes an Order of The Stick reference.
At least I think it was. "Bluff! Bluff! Bluff the stupid clones!" has a certain cadence a certain bard might like.

[Traab]

I just liked chewie and his resignation to what skill he is going to need shortly.

[Dienekes]

Another fantastic Harrison Ford face in panel 1 when thinking that Chewy wouldn't level up.

I think it's more that he didn't level up himself.

GM: Luke, R2-D2, C-3PO, Obi-Wan, and Darth Vader all levelled up.
{Han has a sad face}
GM: Oh, I almost forgot.
GM: And Chewbacca.

No Han.

[GolemsVoice]

Harrison Ford is almost as much of a gold mine for reaction shots as Aragorn. Comedy gold!

Is the plan working when the most basic part of it fails but they can continue on anyways?

As Red Mage from 8-bit Theater once said:
Most plans are critically flawed by their own logic. A failure at any step will ruin everything after it. That’s just basic cause and effect. It’s easy for a good plan to fall apart. Therefore, a plan that has no attachment to logic cannot be stopped. The success or failure of any given step will have no impact on the macro level.

Ah, 8BT... I think I'll have to go back and read that again...

But seriously, what PC tries to sneak into a secure facility using nothing but a disguise? It's like asking the GM to send the army after you at the worst possible time...

Well, when the enemy stronghold violates at least half of the evil overlord list, you have a pretty good shot. The most you need is a decent bluff skill.

And now I'm mentally revising the original trilogy with Darth Jar Jar.
