Darths & Droids VI: Thread title will appear here when received

[Mando Knight]

Pete's using what I assume is out-of-character knowledge here, which is unusual for him at this point in the campaign. There's nobody present in this discussion who could have had any communication with the people in the scene with Nute that memnarch linked, is there?

It could be an OOC conversation.

Alternatively, R2 is the one who had the Nute virus, and the destruction of Cardota and Courtsilius pre-date that incident.

I'm reading and re-reading this and I go "Wha?" ... can someone try to explain to me what happened?

Pete is positing that the Peace Moon is essentially a temporal super-weapon, firing a death ray that travels backwards in time (that doesn't really track with the description of the weapon *firing*, but whatever) so that the interstellar lightshow you see is just normal light that arrived normally, of a system exploding decades ago due to a weapon you just fired right now.

Takodana and the Peace Moon being equidistant from the Hosnian system means that the light from the explosion arrived at both systems at the same time.
