Galactic Oddities

Charlie and Kev were out again last night, so Matt, Sean, and I just hung out.  We talked some about our characters and their respective NPC contacts.  I think we decided that there's a 'boss' who runs a transport business with several different starships and crews.  Our characters are one of those crews.  We'll take side jobs along the way as well.

We briefly toyed with an amusing idea. One of Charlie's NPCs is an unrequited love interest and a hooker with a heart of gold.  Think Roxanne.  We thought perhaps she could be the consummated love interest of every other character in the party.  It could be amusing.  But in the end we figured we'd better not.

Then we watched select scenes from Episode II: The Clone Wars.  We realized how bad of movie it was once again, and that was even after we cut out most of the craptastic dialogue.  There are so many things that don't make sense.  Absolute lack of judgement on the part of almost every Jedi.  The ease that a single Sith had in confounding the entire Jedi Council.  The merits of detonating someone's spaceship during re-entry instead of after it has landed.  The decision to use robot-delivered bugs instead of a blaster for a simple assassination.  Form-fitting, ablative white armor for the heroine.  At what point did order 66 get implanted into the clones?  And what's with the bearded snake on the Jedi Council?

We had a good time.  Not a lot was accomplished, but we had a chance to unwind for a few hours.
