I don't think he has a wife. Here, he says he's "tight with a chick on Alderaan who's into kids', which would be a really odd way to describe someone you're married to even for Bail.

He also calls her moon flower, which I think is the equivalent of calling her honey.

Which would work just as well for a girlfriend/squeeze as an actual wife.

Yeah, but if she's his girlfriend, I'm wondering how he managed to get a girlfriend.

Can you imagine a girl who wouldn't fall for that jiggy fat cat who knows all the sweet street lingo? Sticking it to the Man by hiding his Jedi?

In the transcript at the bottom of the page it has her name listed as "Breha Moon-Flower", so it seems it's not actually a term of endearment. Bail is keeping it strictly for his Jedi.

My guess is another week or two of wrap up, then a break for a start on the next trilogy with the New Year. If I remember right we've had a break between movies before, so it doesn't seem too far fetched, assuming there is some GM wrap up stuff as mentioned by someone else above.

If I didn't know better, I would think Jim took over the DMing for this scene.

I didn't notice before, but apparently the Lars farm is in the rural Midwest or Wyoming.

Finally! This third season was a big disappointment, compared to the previous two. I'm glad it's over. Hope they have good things planned for the next movie.

I think it was a bit disappointing, but that's because of the difficulties of the material in Episode III - most of the characters are split for a lot of the time, the movie has a drawn out ending, etc. There were high points too, though - Anakin and Palpatine's rise to power was much more interesting here than in the movies. I think with the simpler, more straightforward A New Hope coming we are bound for a really good new "season" of Darths and Droids.

So, speculation about who's playing who in the next movie?

R2-D2: Obviously Pete
C3PO: Probably Sally
Obi-Wan: Probably Ben

So that leaves us with Luke and Han for the opening cast.

Given that Luke is probably the more RP heavy role, I suspect that it'll end up going to Annie with Han (as the more action-y role) going to Jim.

That said, it leaves me to wonder how the romances would develop, since that would lead to Jim flirting with Ben (who would be the obvious choice for Leia since Obi-Wan has just died giving her the opportunity to be upgraded from NPC status)

What about a character swap- with Obi-Wan's player switching over to Leia during the escape scene, and having agreed beforehand that Obi-Wan will be killed fighting Darth Vader, as part of a "cutscene" for the others to witness?

Well, that puts them about into the new year. They've been chugging along pretty good; taking the holidays off isn't that bad. They might be rebuilding the buffer as well.

Han could be a ranger with Chewie as an NPC animal companion...

Yeah, I don't see Chewy as a character either... he'd be a mute or something. Probably something along the lines of animal companion.

And Chewy is not an animal companion. He's a cohort.

Crazy theory: Pete continues to 'mentor' Sally, and she ends up playing Han in the next game - her first attempt at a minimaxed munchkin character, with Chewie as her cohort.

Han actually makes a very good character for Sally. Since Jim shouldn't be playing Leia again, that role would fall to Ben. Which leave Jim with Luke.
That all sounds like it would be hilarious.

Unless we also see some new players.

I thought Han was officially force sensitive, just not strong enough or whatever to actually train that talent. I seem to remember reading something like that about the EU.

It would be amusing if the whole Boba-captures Han plot arises because of a GM switch. "Lucas" was pretty passive about enforcing Pete's flaws (and probably wouldn't deliberately target his sister anyways), but Annie being at the helm could be a different story due to her RP-centric focus and lack of familial attachment.
