** Pete is shown as being of the mind that girls don't play RPGs at all. I forget whether he knew the GM previously, but if he didn't, he doesn't show the same sort of reaction to the GM that he did with Sally or Annie. If the GM were a girl, then either A. Pete knew her previously and thus wouldn't likely be all "OMG a girl?!" at Annie, or B. he would've gone, "OMG a girl GM!?" at some point.

* I actually thought of this and wanted to add it. It makes perfect sense, as her role in Attack of the Clones has switched almost solely to description and playing NCPs. Also, don't know if a GM ever roleplays himself, but I have this idea that the GM's name is Luke....

** Actually, if you pay close attention, you can see that the Separatists - particularly Count Dooku, know Palpatine is an evil Sith lord and that's why they want to rebel against the Republic. Dooku's been ''trying'' to tell the PCs for several weeks now, they just won't listen.

So nobody will know that Luke and Leia are related to Anakin and Padme until TheReveal in Episode V, just like in the movies. Jim will probably find some way to lampshade it: "Yeah, I'm going to spend the last of my strength coming up with ''names'' instead of, y'know, '''not dying'''.

Jim seems to fit the character well (although we all know how well the Irregulars stick to the character from the movies), and Ben dies not long after they met Han (who at that point was an NPC) in a bar, and he was a good character to take over.

* Here's how it goes: In-game, Obi-Wan and Padme had an affair, and she got pregnant. This is what caused Anakin to kill her, which in turn causes Obi-Wan to kill ''him'' (yes, he dies in the [[LethalLavaLand volcanic planet]]). Cut to the future, Obi-Wan and his son, Luke, live in a Mad-Max world. Obi-Wan isn't hiding or anything, he just happened to have been contemplating life in the desert when R2 arrived, and has a very good relationship with his son, which goes sour when said son decides to become a Jedi. And Leia is '''not''' Luke's sister, though she may well be an ex or something.

**Obi-Wan doesn't have to "return", since the only evidence that Ben was hiding and not, say, meditating in the desert was Leia's "Helpmeobiwankenobiyou'remyonlyhope", which is ''dialogue'', so easily scrapped. For the full theory, see Luke Kenobi, below.

*On the evil side, Boba Fett was originaly intended to come back for vengeance against Obi-Wan for killing his parents. Remember that Jango says "Obi-Wan killed '''both''' your parents". Anakin isn't on the kid's radar. Except, the [[PlayerCharacter PCs]] kill him on sight. Then [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep the GM]] remembers that the family had contacts with the cloners, and says [[AuthorsSavingThrow "what the hell, that guy was a clone, HERE is the real one]]. But he dies again. After [[DyingLikeAnimals enough clones]], he decides that Boba did '''not''' turn into a bounty hunter. Instead, he is Darth Vader himself, and the "clones" are actually elite imperial soldiers, whose [[TearJerker uniforms are designed after that of the only father Boba/Vader knew]].

* Sixth-ing this, or some form of it any way (timeskip with maybe new players and an old standby). It's a cool DM trick to pull out really old characters, especially when they're -your- (or someone you know) character; it makes them that much more heroic. The current cast is pretty much playing characters with a vastly reduced role in the original three movies; they show up, look cool, and go away again (or they're dead). Having new kids of the old cast would make for one heck of "Luke, I am your father" meta-game moment (though may be too dark for the strip). At any rate (as that's unlikely), looking at them... Anakin, Padme, Obi, Yoda, R2. Anakin becomes Darth; given the strips real life events, this is predicated by the as-yet unnamed conflict between Anne and Jim. Given what we know of the movies, at some point, Obi and Ana fight and both of their characters die (or go away at any rate). This would be Jim and Anne breaking up poorly. Come the big reveal in the original trilogy and the very emotional moment between Luke (who would suit Jim) and Vader, Anne surprises the group by showing up that session and reconciling with Jim. Han, Chewie, R2, Leia, C3, and Lando... Han and Leia are -Pete- and Sally. Ben becomes Chewie and the droids. R2 in the original is much less munchkin-y whereas Han is basically a no-name smuggler who somehow manages to hang with powerful people and thumb his nose at both rebels and empire. And he has a cool ship - one can see Pete getting a sidekick and such for being 'normal'. Or him just growing up. And then Sally could have a 'She grew up moment'. Though on the other hand, if Ben is Luke and Sally is Leia, then the 'He's my brother!' moment could be funny. ARGH!

** How so? As Padme, he'd have kids (Luke and Leia) and then if he takes over as Han he'd be hitting on his own (in-game) kid. That'd be kinda... off in some ways.

to:

* I fifth this, because the current group is cracking apart at the seams so badly it'd require an AuthorsSavingThrow to keep them all together. Sally's removed enough from things to look back later with rose-colored glasses and run a new game from the fragments of the old.

Added DiffLines:

* I agree with the first part of this theory, about Anakin dying, but Vader will not be Dooku's son. He will be ''Boba Fett''. He was foreshadowed so much that he must have a larger role in episodes 4-6 than what he had in the originals. That will be the revelation at the end of Episode V. The screencap of movie Fett will be a random bounty hunter, or invlove another plot twist.

Dooku has been trying to get the Jedi to help him, and that Palpatine is evil. Ben will start to believe Dooku, while Annie will choose to believe Palpatine, thus driving them into conflict. Both will think the other is evil, but neither of them actually will be, although one will be an unwitting pawn to either Palpatine or Dooku.

Dooku. If Dooku is evil, Obi-Wan will go into exile in shame, and later atone by training, and dying for, Anakin's son. Palpatine and the badly disfigured Anakin will form the Empire for noble reasons, but will have been corrupted by power by ''A New Hope''.
* Alternativly, Obi-Wan and Padme will have an affair, and that's what the fight will be about. Luke and Leia are actually Obi-Wan's children, and Obi-Wan will return to teach his son the ways of the force.

When they recreate Episode IV, the GM will realize that the Peace Moon/Death Star seemed a little too familiar until one of the players points out an obscure B-Movie with that exact same concept.

[[WMG: Anakin won't become Darth Vader]]
Count Dooku recently mentioned he has a son, who is very like Anakin. In the final battle on Mustafar, Anakin will simply be killed, but not resurrected as Vader. Instead, Vader will be Dooku's son, who declares vengeance on Obi-Wan for his part in his father's death. (And will, of course, get it in a New Hope.) This is more likely if Dooku is indeed telling the truth. The GM seems to love making the players suffer for their wrong choices.
