The cast for the campaign is as follows:
- Sam Witwer as the Game Master.
- Freddie Prinze Jr. as Pash, a handsome (and humble!) Human smuggler.
- Vanessa Marshall as Mathus, a Human mechanic with questionable morals.
- Taylor Gray as Lowhhrick, a Wookiee with a penchant for the poison.
- Steve Blum as 41-VEX, a very strange medical droid.
- Mary Elizabeth McGlynn as Oskara, a Twi'lek bounty hunter who's not the sharpest shed in the... thing...
GEGG WARS contains examples of:
-
Acting for Two: Sam, as the Game Master, plays dozens of different NPCs with a variety of voices. - Ace Pilot: Pash.
- Action Girl: Oskara.
- Aerith and Bob: The NPCs that Sam creates have much more "normal" names (eg. Jimmy, Steve, Brian, Matt) than the established characters (eg. Pash, Oskara)
- The Alcoholic: Lowhhrick.
- Aliens Speaking English: Teemo and Louie start off speaking in their native languages, but change to English later.
- Ambiguously Bi: Freddie says this about Pash; "He's an equal opportunity smuggler, if you know what I'm sayin'."
- Ascended Extra: Matt the Battle Droid, Louie the Jawa, and CNO-BO/Richard/Tracey start off as random NPCs who end up tagging along with the main characters.
- Berserk Button: Do not call Louie and his gang small.
- BFG: Oskara is very proud of her big gun.
- Big Bad: There are multiple characters that could qualify - Teemo the Hutt, Moff Gilroy, and Trask.
- The Big Guy: Lowhhrick and Oskara both fill this role.
- Butt-Monkey: Pash is this because of Freddie's terrible luck at rolling.
- The Cast Show Off: Sam gets to showcase his amazing voice range.
- Central Theme: Sam jokes that the theme of the campaign is irresponsible water usage.
- Co-Dragons: Teemo the Hutt and Filonious the bounty hunter.
- Cool Starship: The Krayt Fang.
- Cute Machines: Matt and CNO-BO.
- Disc-One Final Boss: Henry the giant she-squid.
- Distracted by the Sexy: Sam and Freddie believe that Pash was kicked out of the Imperial Academy because his handsomeness distracted his professors. Also, Pash takes a moment to check out some Mon Calamari ballet dancers.
- Dumb Muscle: Both Lowhhrick and Oskara are strong, but not too bright.
- Epic Fail: Pash's plans tend to become these.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: All of the main characters could count.
- Having a Gay Old Time: Sometimes people (usually Sam) say something that doesn't sound exactly right...
- Heroic Sacrifice: Matt almost does this unknowingly.
- The Leader: Pash tries to be a leader. He's not so good at it.
- Loveable Rogue: Pash.
- Loyal Animal Companion:
- Margaret the Fish to 41-VEX.
- Athena the Frog to both Matt and 41-VEX.
- Mr. Fanservice: Sam, Freddie and Steve all mention how good looking Pash is. Apparently he's even more handsome soaking wet.
- Naughty Tentacles: A couple of hentai jokes are made while Pash is wrapped up in Henry's tentacles.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Louie and his gang are small, but they can cause a lot of damage.
- Running Gag:
- "ROGER, ROGER!"
- “Ciao!” whenever Oskara’s Vespa speeder bike is brought up.
- Oskara’s obsession with her big gun, and 41-VEX’s obsession with rectal exams.
- Ship Tease: Weirdly enough, the only "couples" that get any ship tease are 41-VEX/CNO-BO (two droids) and Margaret/Athena (a fish and a frog).
- Shout-Out:
- Many of the NPCs names are references to people from the Rebels cast and crew.
- Sam makes many references to The Karate Kid, especially in Episode II.
- The Smurfette Principle: Oskara is the only female player character. However, there is another character sheet for a character named Sasha, who is not used.
-
Squick: 41-VEX's obsession with rectal exams. - Stock Scream: Sam mentions one of the Stormtroopers doing the Wilhelm scream, and all of the players imitate it.
- Strong Girl, Smart Guy: Oskara and 41-VEX.
- Take That!:
- Freddie jokingly makes fun of Dave Filoni, saying that he has no friends.
- Sam doesn't seem happy about the impending Quentin Tarantino Star Trek movie.
- Those Two Guys:
- Mathus and Lowhhrick kind of have this dynamic, with Sam calling them "The Murder Twins" at one point.
- Out-of-universe, Sam and Freddie are this.
- Too Dumb to Live: Pash seems to be this though he ends up surviving.
