Where do you fit in the Extra Lifespan into TMNT?

Splinter. He's a rat, that lived a long time(for a rat)...

I dunno, I just think it's obvious. Crime-fighting series, with an "extra lifespan" ninja master played by a min-maxer. It must be TMNT...

There's one problem with that. The GM called them "my team", which would make him Splinter if it were TMNT.

Leonardo tends to be considered the "leader" when Splinter isn't in the picture... And Splinter is out of the picture for 2/3 of the movie.

Hell, this is Darths & Droids. The GM could be April O'Neil, and the "my team" statement would still work.

That said, the theory of Pete being Splinter(and thus, the game being TMNT) falls apart with last Sunday's comic though... Because Splinter never freed anyone. No one that I can recall, anyway.

I'm still going for Watchmen although I don't recall a scene where escaping prisoners were used as cannon fodder. Or was there in the movie? I'm only familiar with the comic.

The only "prisoners are freed but wind up dying anyway" plot point I can think of is The Great Escape, but it's too much of a stretch to call anyone in that movie "crime-fighters".

What about the League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie? I think something like that happens with the prisoners in the last act of the movie (it's been a while) - and you could arguably spin Dorian as a ninja. Arguably. This is Darths and Droids, after all.

Or did they do that movie already..?

He said martial artist, not ninja. Dorian punched things. Sounds plausible to me.

So, Obi-Wan's cooking is why Anakin turned to the Dark side?

I once had a character whose cooking was so bad, it became a major plot point. How, you ask? Because my character ate it, and IMMEDIATELY fell unconscious, and he took on an astral form. Which lead to communicating with some guy who was SUPPOSED to be dead, but who had actually been reincarnated as the former BBEG's mother (which, BTW, is the reason he was so evil back then in the first place 'cause she was dead and he mellowed out once she was resurrected BUT SHE WASN'T RESURRECTED BECAUSE IT WAS A DIFFERENT BBEG!!!)

So anyway, bad cooking is an important plot point.

In the original movies, yes, without a doubt. Here, Han would be the best candidate.
