History Heartwarming / DarthsAndDroids

* When Ben's little sister Sally is introduced, one might expect the other players to have little patience with her. It turns out, [[EveryonesBabySister the GM and especially Jim are supportive and encouraging of her input in the game.]]

* Though thwarted by Sally's perpetually changing FleetingPassionateHobbies, [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0583.html it's rather sweet when Pete gives her a copy]] of Creator/NiccoloMachiavelli's ThePrince for no other reason than to be nice. It's one of the rare moments where you see Pete is a little deeper than expected.

* On a meta-level, the authors' commentary to [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/1153.html strip 1153]] (warning: HUGE spoiler). They really understand what it means to be touched by a work of fiction, and want to create that in their readers.

* [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/1519.html Page 1519]] has TheRant not only expressing their gratitude for their followers, but also the impact on the millions who read this webcomic, and a personal thanks to Creator/GeorgeLucas for creating StarWars in the first place.

* For the players, this game initiated some of the most meaningful events in their lives. Jim and Annie met through the game, and as of the current (Rogue One) story arc, are three days from getting married. Through the game, Sally called out Ben on going into medicine because their dad wanted it, and he got his life together. Sally went from "That kid I have to babysit," to having TrueCompanions. Sally went from someone who was flightier than a flock of pidgeons to a burgeoning political activist. And Corey gained a hobby and good friends. It goes to show how much a simple role playing game can change people.

* [[http://darthsanddroids.net/episodes/1750.html Page 1750]]: [[spoiler: With a lovely speech from Jim, he and Annie are finally married on a beach. When Jim says he wrote his own vow, you (and Pete) are expecting a train wreck of CringeComedy. But he gives a moving, heartfelt speech that once more showcases his HiddenDepths, and brilliantly works not only for Jim's personality and his and Annie's relationship, but for the overall story and theme of ''Film/RogueOne'' and the comics' spin on it.]]

* [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0731.html Someone dear to me made me question my life]]. Considering they spent most of the third movie bickering it's especially sweet.
* [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0824.html Pete drops]] a WhatTheHellHero on Ben due primarily to the fact that Ben's been making Sally keep his recent return a secret, lying to their parents for the past three weeks and overall being a bad role model to her.
* Corey's reaction, both in and out of character, to Obi-Wan's death. It's downright amazing how well Ben and Corey managed to play the mentor relationship between Obi-Wan and Luke while Ben simultaneously taught Corey about both the backstory and tabletop gaming.
* [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0849.html Ben decides]] to stop drifting and take control of his life.
-->'''Ben:''' I won't be pursuing a career in medicine. I'm looking at other options.
-->'''Pete:''' Really? What?
-->'''Ben:''' Arts, sciences. History maybe.

Jim and Annie met through the game, and as of the current (Rogue One) story arc, are three days from getting married.

* In [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/1220.html 1220]], the GM tells Jim to make an absurdly high stake roll that will either defrost Han or kill him. Pete offers one of his special die to Jim to improve his chances, but that's impossible because Jim is playing from another country (he Skyped in to play). Jim then gave Pete the permission to make the roll for him, which according to the blurb is something that very few actual players would allow.

-->'''Annie/Anakin''': Jim, can I just say something?
-->'''Jim/Padmé''': It's too late... <gasp> Save our baby... You— <cough> Love must conquer death this day...
-->'''Annie/Anakin''': Jim?
-->'''Jim/Padmé''': Oh wait, right. What?
-->'''Annie/Anakin''': Jim, that was... the most beautiful thing you've ever done for me. I totally love you.

-->'''Ben/Obi-Wan''': I have a good feeling about this

* [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0884.html The strip right after the one immediately above has Sally and Annie having a touching moment]] after the former learns that the latter's [[spoiler:dad had passed away]].

* When [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0354.html the regular GM apologises for Pete's behaviour as temporary GM]], Jim stoutly defends Pete (who has stayed away for this session as he realises everyone now hates him). Jim, who was the one person Pete was working hardest at humiliating, describes the previous session as having been full of 'conflict and resolution'. Which is absolutely true, but it wasn't in-game conflict and resolution; it was a way for Pete to show how he felt about the way Jim had treated him in another game, get Jim to apologise, and make it clear that a decent gamer (even an out-and-out {{Munchkin}} like Pete) ''never'' deserts his companions.

* Not only was the reveal of Pete's subtle subplot in [[http://darthsanddroids.net/episodes/1182.html 1182]] a MomentOfAwesome, the GM seems genuinely proud of the fact that he was actually ''roleplaying.''

* [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/1507.html Page 1507]] has Han and Princess getting engaged. [[spoiler:And reveals Jim and Annie already are.]]
