Star Wars Sim Forum: Roleplay, Simming and Fan Fiction

Just finished it all. Man. I...I honestly don't know where to begin. I have so many thoughts and a bit of tears shed....damn.

That is an interesting tid bit Med. (We tend to watch Fallon if up that late)



I just read a very cool article about a query I had but forgot, the blaster Vel picks up from table at Yavin and the guy who claims it, it was Cassians blaster he took from Syril early on.  After escaping from Narkina 5 they go back to Niamos where Cassian gives Ruescott Melshi the blaster and they split up for better chance to survive.  Melshi apparently made it to Yavin.  Vel recgonized the blaster from the Aldhani heist where Cassian is using it and is asked about it.  One guy notes its corpo gear, Cas says he didn't get a name.  Later as he and Syril are tussling at Ghorman Massacre, he asks him.. "Who are you?"

The blaster recognition scene is meant as breadcrumb, or more of a flare I guess, to lead you back.  Very good writing.  Quality egg.

   The Dedra Syril arc.  Wow.  I was not expecting it to become so integral nor go so wrong for Syril.  What a C.  Forget Palpatine, Death to Dedra.


   But very awesome series.  The world building has been just incredible.


   Overall the whole workings of Luthen/Kleya network and disparate groups in rebellion, the behavior of the Empire, the false flag build up.  It's pretty interesting.  Both sides are giving each other exactly what they want.



   The time jumps caught me by surprise at first but provide some necessary unwritten depth to the evolution of everyone.  Also leave plenty of room to imagination and probably eventual licensed material for the inbewteens.



    I had also expected Mon and Cas' senate exit to require a little more than fast walking, three or four blaster shots and a coat change.  Since the intent was already to deprive Cas the glory and give it to Gold Squadron delivering Mon to Yavin, they could have gone through some trash compactor type nonsense and she gets to clean up before her stately arrival. Ultimately though, the incompetence of Imperial action to prevent the whole thing can also be chalked up to Palpatine's devious scheming.  It better serves the agenda of total power through dissolution of the senate.  Going back to everyone giving each other what they want.


    That's a cool note on the Messenger designation and final R1 quote Gal!


    Kleya seems at times more capable than Luthen lately and def more than any sort of subordinate, an equal co conspirator.



Whats Left?

    Hope we see the Declaration of Rebellion by Mothma in final 3 episodes.  Also some kind of more development or closure on Bixs disappearance and her and Cas' relationship.  I hope/think we prob got one more time jump between Episode 11 and 12, that will put Cas more on direct lead in to R1.

Just rewatched the three episodes with my wife yesterday. The force healer mentioned he was a messenger and the last line he spoke in rogue one was “they got the message”. Hot.  Damn. 

Interesting.  I actually feel like it works really well. 

Like we all know so much would happen over a year. By doing the skips we get to see snapshots into their lives and the greater galaxy.  And see the change more clearly than if we were slowly immersed in it. 

Kinda like the frog in warm water slowly being heated to boil instead of throwing the frog in boiling water.
