SPECULATION General Star Wars: ORPA Discussion Thread

First off, thanks a lot for making this thread, @DarthBaron. I can see a long, healthy future for it as a sort of watercooler talk discussion following the more meatier updates, as well as discussion about the comic in general. I'll definitely be making regular trips here to answer any and all sorts of questions, as well as to collect feedback on the characters, pacing and the adventure as a whole.

Initially, I wanted to add a bit of dialogue that played into Missy's childhood awe of Jedi Knights, as well as her subsequent disappointment in realizing that Doop doesn't exactly conform to the distorted, idealized, heroic version of the Order that Missy had kept in her head. Something like: "I wanted to meet a Jedi Knight since I was a child... and then I met you. You are, without a doubt, the worst Jedi Knight I've ever met."

I still regret never adding it. It would have done wonders in furthering the characterization of both Doop and Missy.

I'll be adding a link to the discussion thread on the main posts of Knights and Legacy.

I do want to point out that Legends Saresh does not necessarily equal New Saresh, although she does undoubtedly share many of her character traits. She's probably less "evil" than her old counterpart, but she's still intended to be a very gray, morally questionable character. There's a really thick layer of politics going on in the Senate right now, and I'm not ever sure if we'll get to explore all of it by the time we're done with Jun. The key players to look out for would certainly be Saresh, the Chancellor, the Chiss Ambassador (and also wannabe Senator) and the yet unrevealed Senator of Brentaal IV who leads the Loyalist Caucus.

 

i'm like a magpie ~ i always go for the shiny new thing ~ hahaha

Chancellor is definitely intriguing, but i don't trust him a lick!

 

I voted Doop.

 

You could always... you know... go FULL LUCAS and "specialize" it.

Yeah Chancellor is definitely a big ball of nope. I especially don't like the fact that he knows what Jun has done on Dantooine. I can't imagine he would be happy about that one bit! In fact it's almost a certain he's going to try to blackmail Jun into doing something. I think we will just have to bite this bullet if we're still planning to continue the ways of the senator.

I had no idea you were a reader, @Grand Master Galen Marek!

Why haven't we seen you in the thread before?

 

Only three votes for Mr. Skychafer?!

 

I am PRETTY SURE that @Boushhdisguise is gonna vote Doop too (and Poachie!).

 

I read many books Spacebeast just been busy today to notice this thread.

 

I... think I may have communicated that poorly.
I actually meant to ask you why didn't we see you in the ORPA thread itself. I know we have lots of lurkers but your post count is just to damn impressive to be a lurker.

 

Oh that, I'm banned from there so posting in the casino thread is off limits but having a lurk doesn't hurt.

 

Luckily for Red, theres a certain special Sith Lord that embodies these traits perfectly. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

Poor Jun, he's only got one vote! Doop might just come out on top if we get @Dark Cutie in on this.

 

I voted Kestrel. She was my favorite character from the original thread. I remember following Lankist's thread religiously right up until the end. I didn't post a lot, but it was pretty amazing even being a small part of it. When I saw this new thread, I was inordinately excited to see that the story was continuing here on the Cantina. I always hoped that somewhere, somehow, I'd get to see Bruce again.

 

I have always meant to ask this, but how does the sequel hold up to the original for you guys?

 

From what I gather, most of the heroes from the old comic were non-FS? Excluding Master Tyren and Steve of course.

 

Endorsed.

 

Sigh, Mr Bland always gets left out.... which is semi-ironically a perfect trait for an agent to have.

Unless you're implying he's Force sensitive and mocking us for not knowing.
