The Death Star. Luke Skywalker. The exhaust vent.

You think you know the story.


Think again.


Tell me this would not make the best SW campaign EVER.

Alright, I admit that video was pretty awesome.

Really great except he keeps mispronouncing Alderaan.

No, I'm not an overly picky nerd at all, why do you ask?

So when are you going to run it?

Nope, I'm pickier than you.

Wedge didn't make an attack run.  He was Luke's wingman and Luke waved him off.  It was Red Leader, who died shortly after.  Not every ship was destroyed.  Luke, Wedge and Keyan Farlander (the lone Y-Wing to survive the attack on the Death Star).

This is a reason for Internet being so great. Despite the accuracy or lack of it, the idea and execution are genius.

Here't the thing: the video seemed to be a parody of conspiracy theories... some accidental or deliberate mis-statements of fact could be part and parcel of the satire. Conspiracy theorists do that all the time, so a video parodying them should have that "got a few basic facts wrong" element.

(Of course, maybe it wasn't deliberate. In which case, my comment no longer applies.)

Actually, my overly picky nerd reaction was: "How is this one guy getting information from both secret Rebel and classified Imperial sources? And why is he referring to secret events as if they were common knowledge?"

In other words, I was approaching it as a worldbuilding problem: "This video was made by a character in the Star Wars Universe. Here are some problems with that..."

The video is a bit of propaganda from an Imperial faction that wants too see Lord Vader ousted as the Emperor's right-hand-man. That is my own plot complication assessment.

Probably; I was just out-nerding Piestro

Damnit, it has too much potential, I'm going to have to incorporate this into my own d6 Star Wars games somehow....

Quote from: jeff37923;637980So when are you going to run it?

I'm not. Not even looking to play in it.

But the idea that what everyone accepts as 'canon' in the movies is nothing more than 'history as written by the victors,' that it was all a complex plot to take control of the galaxy by the Skywalker family and that the movies are an invention to cover their tracks, is amazingly appealing.

That. Was. AWESOME!

Thanks BV!

My overly picky nerd reaction was "Why does he identify her as Leia Organa Solo, but he seems to have no idea that the Corellian Freighter is the Millennium Falcon?".

YOU ALL NEED TO GET LAID.

I thought this was awesome, and it would make a fantastic campaign.

You are imperial Agents. You know that Vader has been in touch with key members of the Rebellion. You must gather enough evidence to bring charges against him.
