Feeling Guilty by Association

"Being related to an Imperial is a curse that casts an inescapable shadow. But it's not mine to fill. I'm going to carve out my own place in the galaxy, and find, or build anew, my real family."

Encroaching Shadows - starter for corellianrogueleader

[lightchaxer]

“Hey, those Y’s have their charms.  I think I’ve been getting along well.  Granted, this is the biggest thing I’ve ever been involved in.  It’s a big step up from being a swoop courier.  But I have a feeling I was going to get involved.  My step-uncle is fighting alongside you guys.  Don’t know where he is right now.  His name is Shane Charr’tar, was with CorSec.  You might know him.  The mechanics like me here.  The pilots too to a degree, but I feel like I’m getting stares.  Granted I’m just a “kid” compare to everyone.  But I’ll find my place.  You have any tips on who to avoid or befriend?”

[rcguecne-archive-deactivated201]

☆ Wedge ☆

Wedge snickered at the younger man’s retort on the famous Y-wings. “They are great starfighters. Just not my kind.” He shrugged, the smile on his face still so very vivid. “The name’s familiar but the list in my head goes a long way. You can’t blame the pilots, they stare at everyone like that. They tend to forget they were all mostly your age just a few years back. Sixteen is very young but then again, Gavin joined the Rogues at that age, look at him now.” Running a hand through his thick mass of hair, he let out a long groan. “Well I’d say that everyone is pretty friendly once you get to know them. I’d suggest you to avoid any plots of wisecrack and pranks from Wes Janson… He’s just a terrible troublemaker.”

[lightchaxer]

“Wes Janson... troublemaker how?  Or am I better not knowing?”  R6 gave a tweet.  “Say what?”  A beep that sounded like sarcasm.  “Oy!  Don’t jump to conclusions, I haven’t met the guy yet.  Luke wasn’t all that bad.”  Grae turns back to Wedge.  “Has Luke flown with you guys recently.  He seems to be slowing up.”

[galaxyslasthopes-archive]

GRAE

“Oh my name?  I’m Grae Charr’tar.  I’m a courier.  I guess those ties thought I was running intelligence.  Funnily enough, I am.  Which means I have to get to the command center.  I’m sure they wouldn’t mind talking to you.”  Grae starts walking.  “You’ve been to Chandrila before correct?”

‘’—I’ve did a few assignments up the atmosphere

              But no, I’ve never been on Chandrila

                 This is the FIRST time 

                                    I set foot on this planet–’’

[lightchaxer]

“Well then, welcome…. General?… Skywalker,” Grae extends a hand, albeit awkwardly.  “I’ll walk you over to command, you can be my excuse for being late.”

Grae waited outside headquarters.  He was about to ask a question that would change his life.  Volunteers had been leaving daily, it was about time Grae joined up with the good guys.  He sees Luke leaving.  “Um sir, can I ask you a question?”

[bestpilothere]

“Hello there! Is there something I can help you with?”

[lightchaxer]

“Yes,” said the disembodied voice from below the partially deconstructed X-Wing.  “Can you hand me a hydrospaner and that flmisi with the red X on it?”  Obviously Grae has no idea who he’s talking too.  “OW!  Stang.  And some sanitizer.”

[lightchaxer]

@droidsrus

“Ok.  Say that to me again, but slower.”

[lightchaxer]

@anakin-solo

“Well, well.  Anakin Solo.  Your reputation precedes you.  What may I do for you?  Need something fixed?”

[lightchaxer]

@areciadarkstorm

“To whom do I owe the pleasure?”

[droidsrus]

Reblog if you are a Star Wars RP blog

I know many have been made of this sort but I am on a personal quest to follow every single Star Wars RP blog that Tumblr has to offer. Will you help me on my quest? If so, please reblog. With many thanks. ~Droidsrus Mun

[holoarchive]

reblog this post to be added to the directory. in the tags, please include character name, canon or oc. ( if oc, specify what type. ex: stormtrooper, jedi, knights of ren, etc. ) if character is from legends canon / eu, please indicate that in the tags as well.

if you have a star wars verse, please do not reblog. a separate post for that will be made soon!

[lightchaxer]

Is anyone still here?

I gotta revamp this blog.  I still want Grae, but I want to rp with TFA characters.  What do I do?  I’m considering doing an AU where Grae’s an Imperial Lieutenant.  I could do that with his siblings.

[askshivanulegacy]

This is brilliant!  Here’s another:

It’s not a movie; it’s a holovid

It’s not a phone or cell; it’s a holocom or communicator or just comm (unit).  You normally comm someone instead of call them.

Searching our standard terms in Wookieepedia will normally provide you with one or several in-universe alternatives.  The other items exist, they’re just either archaic terms or really low-tech versions of what’s commonly used (like concrete is a real thing, but just extremely less durable and strong than the more advanced and common duracrete).

[roane72]

I’ve seen ‘permacrete’ used in the latest books as well.

[deducecanoe-deactivated20161213]

Back in the day weren’t the “glass” windows on x-wings and ships called like invisa-steel or something? That stuck in my head from the Thrawn trilogy I think. I remember sitting there in deep contemplation over how the hell you make the molecule chains in metal transparent and worrying about carbon chains and shit because what’s what you do in 10th grade.

[sugardaddylukeskywalker]

I remember seeing med center used as medbay and sickbay as well, and dishwasher as sonic dishwasher? (correct me if wrong tho, I can’t remember v well). But here’s some more:

bandaids = bacta patches bathroom = refresher watch/clock = chrono first aid kit = medpack, medkit   motorcycle = speeder bike, swoop bike camera = holocamera internet = holonet shower = sonic shower(?) 

Correct any of these if they’re wrong ;P also they’re all legends I think and I’m not sure if any of them are in new canon.

[freshbrainss]

I love this, because it’s not condescending or pretentious…just fans letting newer fans know ways to improve their fic. I love the films, but I haven’t been able to get access to so many of the books and comics yet (even though they’re waiting in my Amazon cart for pay day), so this is awesome. And I’ve basically been living on Wookieepedia lately, too!

Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope

“Uh, everything’s under control. Situation normal.” “We’re fine. We’re all fine here now, thank you. How are you?” “We’re sending a squad up.” “[NAME], WE’RE GONNA HAVE COMPANY!” “Let me see your identification.” “You don’t need to see his identification.” “Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.” “Who’s the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?” “No, I don’t like you either.” “Help me. You’re my only hope.” “I’ve gotta get home, it’s late, I’m in for it as it is!” “I’m getting too old for this sort of thing.” “Look, I can’t get involved. I’ve got work to do.” “Wonderful girl. Either I’m going to kill her or I’m beginning to like her.” “More wealth than you can imagine!” “I don’t know, I can imagine quite a bit.” “We seem to be made to suffer. It’s our lot in life.” “I fear something terrible has happened.” “You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.” “I have a very bad feeling about this.” “Your powers are weak.” “If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.” “Let’s get one thing straight. I take orders from just one person: me.” “It’s a wonder you’re still alive.” “No reward is worth this.” “I’ll be careful.” “You’ll be dead!” “This is all your fault.” “It’s not over yet.” “I ain’t in this for your revolution, and I’m not in it for you. I expect to be well paid. I’m in it for the money.” “I find your lack of faith disturbing.” “Marching into a detention area is not what I had in mind.” “You watch your language!” “I don’t know who you are or where you came from, but from now on you’ll do as I tell you, okay?” “In my experience, there’s no such thing as luck.” “I think you overestimate their chances.” “You’re far too trusting.” “Is there anything I can do?” “Great shot, kid, that was one in a million!” “This is some rescue! You came in here, but didn’t you have a plan for getting out?” “I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time.” “Sorry about the mess.” “Someone has to save our skins.” “You’re fortunate to be all in one piece.” “You got your reward and you’re just leaving, then?” “You’re pretty good in a fight. We could use you.” “What good is a reward if you ain’t around to use it?” “What’re you looking at? I know what I’m doing.” “I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board.” “I’m surprised that you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself.” “I must face him. Alone.” “Great, kid! Don’t get cocky.” “You know, sometimes I amaze even myself.” “Don’t everyone thank me at once.” “They let us go. It was the only reason for the ease of our escape.” “What are you doing hiding back there?” “Looks like you’ve managed to cut off our only escape route.” “Your eyes can deceive you; don’t trust them.” “What the hell are you doing?” “I have you now!” “I’d prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around.”
