Apparently all the characters who appear in Star Wars (any Star Wars), no matter how briefly, have canon names. So all the NPC names you've been seeing in the Darths & Droids transcripts are SW canon names.

And all the characters in the cantina scene have action figures. Yes.

I was wondering how they were going to handle this. Of course, Pete's character is supposed to be an electronic espionage and sabotage genius, so it makes some sense, but it feels like a very pointed remark at the original series.
Which didn't exist in that universe.
Kind of meta is what I'm saying.

Same. There's no life forms aboard. Let's ignore the vast possibility that there could be droids on it, make the assumption that it was a malfunction, and not take the, oh, half a second's time it would take to just blow it up.

Pointing out the gaping plot hole of the very first scene of Star Wars? I think the rest of the comic will do just fine. Original Trilogy probably has even more fodder for this than the prequels. Especially after the prequels have been savaged.

There's merchandise whoring and then there's Star Wars.

They do send troopers after them. I just assume they let it go in hope of recovers whatever the Rebels would want so desperately off the ship that wasn't people.

They send troopers after it after determining that the stolen plans aren't on the ship and Vader is informed of the pod, under the assumption that the plans had been hidden in the pod.

So queens are elected and senator is a hereditary position?
Makes sense to me.
Sure, why not? Come on, if it was the worst problem with the Star Wars universe... maybe they just use different words for those? (Or maybethey just needed a princess in the first movie and... she had to be elected... because... otherwise the people wouldn't love her!)

Not to mention that all sorts of kings were (at least nominally) elected or otherwise confirmed through semi-democratic processes throughout history, whether it was a Saxon English Witen, German prince-electors, the early Capetians, the Polish szlachta at the wolna elekcja, and so forth. Sure, the candidates and electors needed to have the right moral imprimatur (whether by blood or, for the Holy Roman Empire, religious authority for the three archbishop-electors), but there are all sorts of ways historical republics have restricted the franchise as well. It's just a silly argument, though I suppose it's not as silly as the fact that Amidala stopped being queen without dying.
You, know that is actually a point... as far as my limited knowledge of history goes e.g. the the German prince electors did vote for their king... it's just greatly different from what we would consider an election but still...
How a senator can be hereditary I still don't know. (Well, I guess I do but I don't see much sense in it)
As for today... those empire guys were really dedicated to their jobs, weren't they?
Didnt the roman senators have hereditary seats? Its been about 15 years since I studied history, so I may be wrong.

I'm totally not sure but I think that was because the wealthy were in senate and the sons of wealthy men tended to be wealthy as well... or because only aristocrats were in it or something.

So basically, like any republic.

Actually, in some ways they had the opposite of that. In order to remain a member of the nobility, a family would have to produce at least 1 senator every generation. In order to become a senator, you had to finish a term in any elected office besides the tribune, if memory serves (mind you, in order to get a higher post, you had to already have served in a lower post.)

My guess is that Queen is sort of an artifact title. What was at one time a monarchy has evolved into a more republiacan form of government, and the office was heavily altered but never entirely done away with.

Agreed, Vadar has definitely found himself some lackeys that can be counted on. I just love the whole resigned acceptance to death. "Ill join the queue."

So this is just the DM speaking to himself at the moment? That's... kinda weird. I mean, I know this is a scene in the movie that needs to happen, but none of the PCs are around to listen in, are they?

Yeah, I was also windering about that... I guess it's just for the sake of having these scenes in. Maybe the PCs are allowed to listen to know what kind of a person Vader is.
The Atlas is also goofy but it has that whole "Stay Puft Marshmallow Man" menacing smile thing going for it. The guy who drew that one up was obviously taken to the Nutcracker when he was a child... and he was screaming in terror the entire time.

Sally seems pretty upset about it. And 'He would have wanted it that way' is something most used when talking about dead people.
Let's ask DMM, if he's still lurking around here, waiting for a chance to spoil the entire comic for us...
