But DOES Annie know? This may be something that the DM is pulling on her, too! Or perhaps Annie will decide later to start playing Vader, and retcon him into being Anakin, and surprising the DM!
“I shall be known as… Darth Vader.”
“You shall address me as Lord Vader.”
Jim, Pete or even Sally might forget their own character’s name, but Annie wouldn’t.
Pretty sure the big reveal in ESB was originally going to be Vader telling Luke that Obi-Wan killed Luke’s father - Obi-Wan says Vader did it in A New Hope and this has to be retconned in RotJ as “true, from a certain point of view”.
So how long was it between the third and fourth ‘movies’? Months? Years?
And what happened to Ben?
“a couple of years”
I’ve been wondering that, as well as how “Adam” is going to become “Luke”.
Do we actually have confirmation that Leia is Annie? Unless I’m missing something, nobody’s addressed her as anything other than “Princess” (not even “Leia”, except in the bottom captions).
Jim (as Captain Antilles) calls Leia “Annie”.
I assume old Ben will show up next “session”.
So we are all in agreement that Ben will probably return as Obi wan, soon, and Pete’s latest character will be everyone’s favorite “scruffy nerf-hearder” (Han Solo). Do you think Sally is gonna play Chewie and C3PO, or will they make Chewie a “henchman” NPC?
I’m betting Pete’s next character is the walrus faced guy who gets his arm hacked off in the cantina. His character after that will be Han.
Do you guys mean Jim, not Pete? Pete’s R2-D2 and always has been. Jim was Captain Antilles & already died in this campaign and is working on a new character with a “really detailed” backstory.
And there’s something strange going on with Ben - from episode 688
Yeah. I’m not seeing how Pete would end up with a new character. R2-D2 is around for the long haul and Pete hasn’t expressed any interest in trading him in for something (someone?) new.
As for Jim’s next character, signs point to him being Greedo in the near future.
:smack: Yes, I meant Jim.
Thanks for turning me on to this. I’m only in the low 300’s so far, but I love the explanations of what something is every time someone doesn’t know.
I’m pretty sure Jim’s next character is going to be Greedo.
ETA: or, you know, what Lord Il Palazzo said.
Does anyone know what the inspiration for Jim’s game was in this comic?

A story with two pilots, a nurse and a doctor who doesn’t want to be a doctor. The English Patient?
Airplane?
No idea.
But I totally called the whole Greedo thing. So suck it non-existant and imaginary people who doubted me.
If you had said “Jim’s character is going to look like Han Solo but he’s going to be named Greedo”, I would have been more impressed.
I guess “Airplane” does have two pilots and a doctor as main characters, but there’s no nurse in a major role, nor is there any fencing (as far as I know).
