Kell: Well, there's good news and there's bad news

Kell: Actually there's just bad news

If Star Wars Husbands Took Their Wives' Last Names

Han Organa: It sounds weird, but at least it makes more sense than Princess Leia taking the last name of a smuggler.

Luke Jade: No, because Mara's original last name doesn't correspond to an actual family. Palpatine could have made it up, for all we know.

Corran Terrik: Booster would probably feel a little better about it.

Kell Sarkin: It has a nice ring to it.

Wedge Wessiri: I associate his badass feats too closely with "Antilles" for this one to really land, but least AO3 tags wouldn't have to distinguish between Syal Antilles Fel | Wynssa Starflare and Syal Antilles | Lysa Dunter.

Did Winter have a last name before she married Tycho? I've seen "Winter Retrac" in some circles, but I have no clue where that comes from.

Jagged Solo: Sounds really weird until his first name is abbreviated to Jag, which is done 95% of the time anyway, and then it sounds really cool.

Forgot to post the link until now but here's my Secret Santa gift for @accidental-spice!! First lines under the cut!!

“And now, for the final subject of this briefing.” Wedge Antilles said, lifting his gaze from the datapad before him and studying the group of men and women scattered throughout the room. 

While Wraith Squadron was far from as rigidly structured as most squadrons—Wes Janson, for instance, was sprawled across a chair like a smuggler or a printer’s apprentice, feet twiddling in the air. Kell Tainer was sitting with his chair backward, arms propped on the back of his chair, and Shalla Nelprin was sitting on the ground, legs crossed—the group was still listening attentively. The sharpening of their interest at his last words was almost tangible, and Wedge held back a sigh. Oh, this is gonna end well.

“Life Day,” he said, and the chuckles, grins, and groans of the squadron filled the air. “Now, I’m sure we all remember the fiasco that was last year—”

“I wouldn’t call it a complete fiasco,” Kell said, grinning at Tyria, who flushed a little but grinned back.

Wedge leveled a quelling look at him. “As I was saying. This year, there will be some rules.”

“What?” Phanan looked horrified. “There are no rules on Life Day.”

Star Wars Legends: Poll of the Week — Favorite Smart or Crafty Moments

Legends is full of moments where our heroes have to come up with unorthodox solutions to unexpected challenges — and some of the smaller moments can have a major impact. Of these examples, which is your favorite smart/crafty moment?

When her trail goes cold thanks to a bounty hunter, Han Solo finds missing Rebellion spy Scarlet Hark by going to the greasy spoon from which she’s been ordering breakfast sandwiches and intercepting her delivery order (Honor Among Thieves)

At the Battle of Folor, Kell Tainer and Runt pretend to be two whole groups of X-Wings protecting a damaged Millennium Falcon with Princess Leia on board (impersonated by Dorset Konnair and her wingmate using two A-Wings) to distract Admiral Trigit from the evacuation of Folor Base (X-Wing: Wraith Squadron)

Threepio and Artoo help Leia Organa and Han Solo break out of prison on Aphran IV by reprogramming the food service droid to think that Leia’s lightsaber and Han’s pistol are food rations (The New Jedi Order - Enemy Lines II: Rebel Stand)

When Lando Calrissian and Zerba are kidnapped by corrupt cops sent by Black Sun and about to die in a crumbling warehouse, their heist team rescues them by having one ship blow a hole in the wall large enough for the Falcon to fit through, after which Chewbacca swoops through long enough to drop one of the escape pods into the building so Lando and Zerba can barricade themselves inside (Scoundrels)

Luke Skywalker uses the power supply from his prosthetic hand to rewire the lock on his enclosure and escape Talon Karrde’s custody (Heir to the Empire)

Which one of these smart/crafty moments from a Legends novel is your favorite?

Han finds Scarlet with the help of her breakfast sandwich order

Kell and Dorset distract Admiral Trigit with a faked Falcon (and Leia)

Threepio and Artoo break out Leia and Han by sending them “food rations”

Chewbacca leaves Lando and Zerba an escape pod to escape a crumbling warehouse

Luke powers the door lock with parts from his prosthetic hand

Wes Janson: Guess who’s back? The one all-mighty pilot, destroyer of two Death Stars, the most handsome man in the galaxy, the—

Kell Tainer: Permission to vape this one, sir.

Wedge Antilles: Permission granted. (a few minutes later) Wes Janson: Shouldn’t have talked that much in the simulator.

"Kell, you're Five. Can you guess who's Six?"

"Runt, sir?"

"You're developing into something of a genius, Kell." The others laughed.

Wedge continued, "Ton Phanan, Seven. Face, Eight. I want the majority of the squadron's sarcasm concentrated in one wing pair so we can dispose of it more conveniently.

Wedge’s sarcasm is something else lmao. Also yes! Put the sarcastic people together. This will be so funny. (Wedge, you should be there too imo)
