History Fridge / DarthsAndDroids

** It also explains why Pete never brings this fact up in the rest of the Original Trilogy- while having a place where sensors would be blind is great, he's a droid. ''All'' of his ways of seeing the world are sensors, so if he started using that regularly, he'd be both blind and inaudible any time that someone decided to enforce those rules.

* "Adam Lars" (Luke Amidala) has Survival: Snow, Forest, Desert, and Swamp. Obviously anyone who has seen the movies knows that, he will be visiting a snow planet (Hoth), a swamp planet (Dagobah), a forest moon (the Forest Moon of Endor), and obviously he's on a desert planet (Tatooine). But even more so, is that on Hoth, he'll almost freeze to death, he'll have to live in a swamp for a bit, and he will be fighting a huge battle in a giant forest. Talk about epic foreshadowing. Even more so, making Owen and Beru crazy Survivalists explains WHY Luke would have those skills.

* From certain out-of-character conversations, it appears the players are from an English-speaking country that's ''not'' the US. Evidence in this direction includes Pete's use of the phrase "[[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0608.html a deep and meaningful]]" and that when Jim gets a pair of job offers, he mentions both are overseas... and that one of them is to Los Angeles.
** They're [[AwesomeAussie Aussies]]. The players eat Maltesers (an Australian chocolate snack), a "deep and meaningful" is an Australian euphemism for an in-depth conversation about one's thoughts and feelings, the comic uses Australian spelling and grammar (which is mostly identical to the British, i.e. colo'''u'''r or defen'''c'''e), and the head writer, [[Tropers/{{Dmmaus}} David Morgan Mar]], is Australian.

** Well, likely the content of the game but using the tabletop game they've been playing all along.

* In ''DarthsAndDroids'' Qui-Gon Jinn is played by Jim. Qui-Gon/Jim. Also, Obi-Wan is played by Ben, and Anakin by Annie.
* Thinking about both this and ''DMOfTheRings'', it's clear that while the latter is the result of a railroading GM trying to assume total control of the campaign, ''DarthsAndDroids'' is the result of a GM who just rolls with all the craziness that comes up and makes it work within his plans. If you think about it, this is perfectly in line with the settings' canonical villains. Sauron has his plan that depends on the enemy doing what he thinks they should--use the ring against him; it's thwarted when events transpire as he didn't expect, i.e., when it goes off the rails. Palpatine, however, is a master of XanatosSpeedChess, and like that comic's GM, he just takes whatever happens in stride and makes it work for him instead of trying to stick to one plan.

* Regardless of Ben's current status (med school, out of town, dead, et cet...) Obi-Wan's absence at the beginning of Episode 4 is quite necessary for the GM to keep the game balanced. Jim & Annie are both on new characters, Corey is completely new to the entire game, and Sally doesn't level up much since 3PO does almost nothing. Obi-Wan, on the other hand, is vastly overleveled. (So is R2, but Pete's saved by the fact that he has nothing but mechanical skills.) Obi-Wan's death later will illustrate that further; after all, once he appears in ''A New Hope'', Obi-Wan is far too powerful for anyone but Vader to even pose a threat.
** This is also why Vader seems invincible. Except for Pete, his character has been in the game longest, and has probably levelled up a ton of times by now.
