Indeed, the very plot of Star Wars , with all its inconsistencies and bizarre leaps of logic, comes about because the players constantly force the GM to improvise. And that's not all; the Irregulars seem to be taking perverse pleasure in actually changing things from how they happen in the movies as much as they can while still being constrained by actual screencaps.
This ranges from introducing the "Lost Orb" side-quest, all the way to Darth Maul being a hired bounty hunter who's, at worst, a Punch-Clock Villain. Even Palpatine seems like a good guy.
In the blurb for each comic, there are often links to This Very Wiki one of its creators is a known troper , and there are even comics named after tropes, as well. The comic is being translated into a variety of languages, including German and French. Nearly all strips from Episode I are available in German. Darths and Droids has completed the campaigns based on the six original movies as well as a flashback to a campaign based on Rogue One , then took a side trip into, of all things, the Star Wars episode of The Muppet Show , before starting on the sequel trilogy.
The first campaign, The Phantasmal Malevolence , got a licensed stage adaptation, which you can view here. A filmed adaptation of the stage adaptation is available to watch here. And, of course, all Star Wars tropes apply whenever they spring up in the collaboratively developed story.

He prefers to think rationally before acting, comes up with sane plans, but is quick to resort to fast-talking the GM if nothing else works.
Also points out the unlikelihood of situations they run into. This in no way came back to bite him eventually. In the sequels, he's Poe Dameron. He's a gung-ho, enthusiastic player, often blindly rushing into danger. He's also prone to humorous misunderstandings of the setting, bizarre and obviously incorrect explanations, and creation of Plot Tumors. His insane plan regarding the pod race must be seen to be believed yet he's also pursuing a Ph.
She's Ben's kid sister, who he once brought to a game session when their parents weren't home. As she's grown up, she's matured into a social activist. Many of the wacky elements of the setting, such as the Gungans including her own character , Toydarians, and an elected year-old queen, are products of her wild imagination; the GM seems to have largely left the task of designing settings and alien races to her, in acknowledgment of the fact that she is more creative with such things than he is.
Sally is also pure awesome in a can, given that she was able to accomplish the flat-out impossible feat of making Jar Jar Binks likable. He joined after Jim told him about the game and designed his character in advance using Min-Maxing , resulting in a verbally-challenged non-humanoid robot with insane mechanic skills.
He took the same approach for Rogue One , creating a blind monk and his deaf and mute familiar that both have an array of combat perks. The Thespian : Annie , initially playing Shmi Skywalker but soon switched to Anakin rather than shoehorning Shmi into the adventuring party.
Ben told her about the game in drama class. Her unfamiliarity with typical RPG player behavior results in amusing misunderstandings, such as her mistaking Qui-Gon for a robber when he attempts to search Shmi's house for loot.
Her roleplaying tends to be filled with Hidden Depths and moral ambiguity , which sometimes screws with the more straightforward mindset of the other players. As a joke, she plays what is considered to be the worst acted character from the prequel trilogy. With Luke's disappearance in the sequel campaigns, his new character is BB He's Pete's nephew, being just a little older than Sally.
He got interested in the group after hearing Pete talk about it, but was stunned to find it wasn't a role-playing video game. Nonetheless, he seems to be getting the hang of things pretty quickly. He too often sees his carefully written campaigns get shot to pieces by the players going Off the Rails , but knows better than to try Railroading and usually doesn't do any more than make a sarcastic comment in response.
More often, he just rolls with whatever the players come up with. Tropes to E. He finds 13 gold coins, and a cursed item which forces him to pay for the resurrection of Chewbacca's character. Accidental Misnaming : About half the time Jim says anything, he gets its name wrong.
Corey: PIE fighters? Sally: It stands for Plasma Ion Engines! GM: No, no, they're called — Pete: Too late, it's canon. They're PIE fighters now. Just don't change the name again! GM: Delivered to this dark, dank den of despair, you discern a disarray of disheartened, disfigured, and dismembered droids.
Pete: You've been practicing that sentence, haven't you? GM: Definitely. Capped off by Pete's last line of the strip; "Darn. Jar Jar: Dis meaning war, wesa needs to have a stronger leader! Mesa suggests Chancellor Palpatine gets emergency powers! Palpatine: What?! Yoda: They're steps. One after the other, they come.
Luke: So, is it inevitable, then? Yoda: No. If once you start down a Path, not necessarily forever will it dominate your destiny. Walk both directions on a Path, you can. That's why it's called a Path, not a river. Luke: But salmon can swim upstream. Yoda: A metaphor this is. Take it literally do not, little fishy. Sally: Just because you do everything Dad tells you to! Obi-Wan: Let's see. You stole the plans for a symbol of peace. You're allied with a a known megalomaniacal warlord and b a criminal sociopath.
You have not one, but two, armies at your disposal. You've captured me — unfairly — and are holding me with no means of escape. And you're monologuing. Poggle the Lesser The steam vent was inadequately signposted. Mace Windu: Nute Gunray is behind everything 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.
R2-D2: For my reward, I wish to be cleaned and oiled by your most beautiful handmaiden. Qui-Gon: Fine. But we're not taking Bubble.
That goatee is a death sentence. Obi-Wan: Uh Has a goatee! Should be fun when others don't believe Jim that he's evil. Pete: I'm not Railroading you here. Lando: Good call letting Chewbacca handle your defence.
Han: Hey, that wasn't my idea. Chewbacca: He wanted to defend himself. Lando: Yeah. Good call letting Chewbacca handle your defence. Then [Padme]'d never give us a new boat! Jim as Han : Chewie! Hit the Chewbacca: "Forward" engaged. Pete: Match the rotation! Match the rotation! Chewbacca: Rotation zero radians per second: matched.
Han: We're coming in too hot! Slowest landing ever. R2-D2: Heh heh heh. Let's see what loot I got from your corpse. Chewbacca: You may find that your combat stats are no longer as impressive as you recall.
R2-D2: You put a cursed item in your own coin purse?! What sort of deviant would do that?! Chewbacca: Let's discuss how you're going to pay for my resurrection, shall we? Pilot: General Glevious has gone mad! He'll kill us all! R2: In other news, grass is green.
This would be Westley, who was the actual hero of the movie. This left Pete feeling very bitter towards Jim, since up to that point, he had regarded Jim as a friend. One thing in this campaign that appears to be different from the movie, Jim claims they fought a "horde" of pirate ninjas, and even sank a few of their ships until being pursued by the "boss ninja" Westley.
He then goes on to get the plot confused with The Lord of the Rings , which Pete angrily points out. Since Pete doesn't contradict the early part of sinking a few ships instead snidely commenting, "That's not all he sunk" it appears that first part is accurate.
The Prince in the campaign Humperdink, the main villain of the movie had hired the players to stage a fake kidnapping of the Princess Buttercup, the heroine in order to win public sympathy to wage a war against the neighboring kingdom. Jim and Ben decided the best way to do this was to do a real kidnapping of the Princess.
Pete claims he didn't like the idea, but went along with it because he thought the players should stick together through adversity.
This made his feelings of betrayal at his PC being left for dead while Jim and Ben sided with his killer all the more acute. Boba: Why couldn't you just shoot him? Jango: What sort of criminal mastermind would I be if I did that? Jim: Large ring objects imply a very young planet. Barren, with rugged topography. And volcanoes! GM: O-kay I won't be jealous, or arrogant, or manipulative towards you. R2-D2: I'd be half-way to taking over the Republic by now: I'd add a backdoor control mechanism, outsource production to three independent contractors on Kamino, ensure the Senate are distracted by some meaningless invasion somewhere, and cover my tracks with fake blueprints.
I will help you bring Anakin to justice. After all, you are the only thing standing between Anakin and complete domination of the galaxy. On his own, obviously, without me faithfully by his side. Seeing as I'm Good. Obi-Wan: Indeed. Annie: Um, okay Let me just get into the right mindset.
Annie: Sorry, wait. That line doesn't work at all for this character. Pete : Oh how I love stock descriptions.

I think you must be cheating. Corey: Can I replay this Cutscene later?
