I'm pretty sure you'd have to roll against your sanity score if you tried to read it.

Whatever it is it's fracked up big time.

It's creative how they handle the introduction of new characters. There's a wild mass guess out there that in the real movies, R2-D2 was the brains behind the Alliance. In the comics, R2-D2's player really will be the brains of the Alliance.

I liked particularly how a drama student is playing the mom.

Hmm, it seems in today's comic that nobody trusts Qui-Gon's judgment anymore. I wonder why?

Uhh... he was framed by the Swiss Lords? I don't know, ask easier questions!

Ep 97

If I'm not mistaken, the dialogue from today's page is taken verbatim from the film.

Any idea what the heck DMM's comment below the strip means?

I didn't write any of that.

The best I can get is something along the lines of "the crowd of thousands doesn't even qualify for NPC status".

That makes good sense. A GM could say "there's grandstands full of people watching" but there's no way he could go into the sort of detail shown by the movie and the comic.

On the other hand, he could be referring to how this whole scene in the movie is mostly CG, more so than the others.

I think he's pointing out that none of those details in this scene besides the dialogue have probably been defined by the DM for the players. Probably. I think he mostly just failed a sanity roll.

If the dialogue is taken from the film than...?

The comment is taken from the Directors' commentary.

Wow, I don't think Light Yagami could have come up with that plan...

Sure, it'd be crap in real life, but in the context of "the game's over if we lose anyways, it doesn't matter how screwed our characters are as long as they're screwed", that's actually not a half bad plan.

Ep 99 The real fun is in the below-strip essay. Of course, we all know about the Gambler's Fallacy, right?

That's how people lose their shirt at the roulette table. There's a gambling system, where you double your bet every time you lose. (Obviously just betting black or red every time.)

It works until you get a streak of 6 or 10 black numbers in a row, and your money is gone.

You know what's funny? The Sandpeople in that scene demonstrated better marksmanship than any Stormtrooper ever did.

Another possible clue: Shmi seems to be implying that she drives through desert regions regularly.

Also Take That!, Waiting For Godot!

She might stay as Anakin. She's shown enough deviousness to play Darth Vader someday, and angst could count as drama...
