He should have added a reason, like "Palpatine is unstable because the force he depends on is unstable. Rejoin me before he drags you down too." Or something.

So hype. If the quality continues, this just might outmatch Anakin v Obi-Wan in epic speeches.

I'm getting chills. This is way better than the original, and I have to issue some applause for Corey's development as a role-player.

That is far more nuanced than the original. Which doesnt say a lot for Star Wars, or George Lucas.

This has always been more nuanced than the original. The actual goalpost this confrontation needs to surpass is Anakin vs Obi-Wan from the comic itself.

Yea, Star Wars was a very straightforward story.

In my experience, GMs are much less likely to be protective of their powers than happy that someone else is doing all the work for once.

A big guns campaign sounds like an action movie, so we can probably rule those out. Uh, Real Genius? That had a plot-important Kill Sat, and it's hard to get a bigger gun than that.

It's been a while since I've seen someone do that.

So Pete works at a firm. It seems pretty damn clear at this point that he is an attorney.

Yeah, it's lawyers who most commonly refer to their organizations as a "firm", aren't they?

Isn't "the firm" also CIA slang?

Holy shit, there's cast pages and archives for all of them.

Holy shit, the titles are puns actually based on the game/show/movie the comic is

And here's the write-up added to the previous bonus page:

In the real world of the Moonshots & Mishaps universe, of course, Apollo 13 doesn't exist. That's the premise of this entire comic, after all. But most of the other things we know and love (such as space exploration) do, albeit modified by the lack of Apollo 13:

  • Moonballs is a serious documentary about tennis strategy and tactics.
  • Kevin Bacon is known (barely) for doing voiceovers for poorly selling computer games, but gains widespread fame after his appearance in the first Futurama movie.
  • Tom Hanks is known primarily for his role in Mazes and Monsters.
  • Nerdy guys make You Tube videos of themselves re-enacting 90s video games with live acting and special effects instead of fitting square air filters to round holes.
  • Without the success of Apollo 13 to spark interest in space exploration movies, Star Trek was never revisited with numerous series and movies, and remains an obscure two-pilot aborted TV series.
  • The Martian was never made into a movie. Fans of Andy Weir never had it so good.
  • The major space exploration background that pervades all of Western culture is Lost in Space, despite it never being much good. The original was adapted recently into a new, updated film with a bigger budget, high-tech computerised special effects, and edgy writing. And it sucked.
  • Throughout the 1990s, all the greatest Hollywood historical docudrama films were retellings of events surrounding the Avignon Papacy and the Western Schism of the Catholic Church.
  • The Comic Irregulars exist and are making a screencap comic based on Pac-Man.

On the subject of the proper comic: It might not be a good idea for Gondor to call for aid if Gondor doesn't have a blasted clue about what to do with that aid.

Apparently Packman was considered (but voted down) as a possible campaign for the group to have played during the skip foward between movies, but as it was voted down it instead ended up as this.
