    Oh come on, they are about to swing over a bottomless, (might as well be if they cant see it) chasm held only by a grappling hook he rolled a 10 on. As a method actress, I can totally see her doing that whole no regrets type of thing before they take the plunge. If they had the time it might have been, "I dont want to die a virgin"

    I can buy a "don't want to die a virgin". But a kiss on the cheek? Come on. That's worth nothing. And it's not like there really was much tension between them or anything... Leia just kissing him for the sake of it or Annie kissing him in character is like me sending a kissing emoticon here. There is nothing to be gained from it. (If it was at least a more intimate kiss I could have bought it but like that... child-friendly or not, I think it's unnecessary. They could have made a joke about it being even more out of context.
    It's not that bad but I just don't like it.

    loved the Wilhelm line.
    and The DM is totally screwing with Pete, frustrating his attempts to clever his way into overwhelming power/adventure breaking(or at least bending) knowledge

    Don't forget that he has already turned the dreadnought he kept trying to 'acquire' into Mos Eisley

    And it seems Pete considers himself to be in a relationship...with the Peace Moon. At this stage, it's not that surprising.

    Hey, the GM took his dreadnought and turned it into an effing PORT CITY! Give the poor bastard his Peace Moon plans at least! I fully expect him to be the big bad of the last movie, having built a peace moon of his own. The empire and the rebels have to join forces to fight him. Vadar as a cyborgis being is hacked by pete and taken over, killing the Emp, the Emp manages to, ahem, emp vadar, breaking petes hold but critically damaging his life support.

    In canon sure, who knows whats going on in this story. It may be a trap where pete is planning his face heel turn and the dm tosses in ewoks just because he feels pete is ruining the game with his plan and wants to crush him in the worst way possible.

    Embarrassment factor. Here he is, the grand ruler of the cosmos, controller of the ultimate planet busting weapon, and he gets foiled by savage teddy ruxpins armed with pointy sticks and rocks. Creatures that didnt even exist until now and wont ever be mentioned again once they leave the planet, because they were a dm invention just to shut down the munchkin from ruining everything.

    DM: "Suddenly out of nowhere a small army of Ewoks come out of hiding and attack Petes forces!"

    Sally: "Whats an Ewok?"

    Jim: "Chinese cooking implement found on the internet"

    DM: "These are carnivorous bearlike tribesmen with sharp teeth, and vicious claws that are still able to use tools."

    Pete: "Well at least this stupid attack is being done by something cool"

    Dm: "They average about 3 feet in height and are armed with nothing but sticks and rocks."

    Pete: "What?! Oh whatever, I have my stormtroopers shoot them"

    DM: "Ooh, they all miss due to the heightened dexterity of the ewoks. Now its their turn."

    Pete: "Whatever, they have sticks, my troops have body armor meant for fights against blasters."

    DM: "Critical hits! The ewoks stones strike the troops in the head, knocking them unconscious or killing them outright, the spears find small gaps in your troops armor, severely wounding them."

    Pete: "What?! Thats bull! Grr fine whatever, I send in my armored walkers. I could roll a 1 and them a 20 and they still couldnt hurt me with their sharp sticks. I fire."

    DM: "Looks like you got one of them. Oooh whats this? Your walker triggered a trap! Two giant tree trunks swing in and pancake your walker between them. Your walker is destroyed!"

    Pete: "AARGH! What the hell man?!"

    DM: "Next time dont try to work my system like that. You know I dont let the cheese get too thick in my games."

    If only! I remember being a little boy and watching... that movie.

    (Also, isn't Sally the one with the wacky explanations? But I guess it's the DMs idea this time)


    You know, I never played with an actually successful thief. Admittedly, I'm not playing D&D in my group but whenever a thief tried some thieveing he had something bad happe to him. Or at least slightly unpleasant.

    Well, not quite everything is Qui-gon's fault. The Trade feds did steal the orb, but other than that, most everything is Qui-gon's fault. Funny but true.

    But that's like saying some ape ancestor is at fault for all humanity has ever screwed up... Qui-Gon might have brought a too old child into the order but he died so soon afterwards you can't really blame him.

    Anakin, like many villains, is just looking for someone to put the blame on.

    1. He injected this boy with his own blood, making him unstable. The results are quite obvious.
    2. He gave the sand people blasters and broke the deal he had with them, which turned them angry on all people around (they weren't bandits before that).
    3. He broke the negotiations with Trade Federation by openly suggesting to search the room, which means he was responsible for starting the whole war - even if the Trade Federation was willing to attack anyway.

    There are probably things I've forgotten.
    In a war it doesn't matter who's right, only who's left.

    Small point, but Annie isn't a method actress. Her technique, which is focused on absolutely particularizing her given circumstances (if we're to judge by her character backstories) is much more similar to Uta Hagen's than to Lee Strasburg's.

    You know, I'm rather sure they had this in mind. Not sure if they were going to act on it, or still are after we so shamelessly figured out their jokes one and a hlf movie in advance but it's just such a neat twist it works too well not to come up with it.
    So... will they stick to it or will they change it because we are too damn nerdy?

    If it's blatently obvious enough that I could figure it out, I'm sure they'll have something much more shocking planned for that moment.

    Long story short, Jango Fett put a failsafe into the clones so that if he died, so would the clones. When he died, their midichlorians died instead, so now they're merely incompetent.

    Yep, south park reference. Also, common sense. Them gingers are scary! Originally Children of the Corn used gingers, but the directer reportedly complained saying it was supposed to be a horror film, not a cautionary tale.

    It's definitely older than that. I'm not sure where it came from, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's some sort of centuries-old superstition.

    What do you mean, "superstition"? That word only applies to unreal things
