This Week’s Horrible-Scopes

It’s time for this week’s Horrible-Scopes! So for those of you that know your Astrological Signs, cool! If not, just pick one, roll a D12, or just make it up as you go along. It really doesn’t matter.

Yet again we’ve been requested a themed Horrible-Scope. So here we go. This week’s ‘Scopes are all based on Characters from Star Wars. Now pull up a seat, add more butter-flavoured oil to your stale popcorn, and get ready for the THX Audio Logo.

Aries 

You are the Mos Eisley cantina musician “Figrin D’an” from “The Modal Nodes”.  His Kloo Horn playing was so good he earned the nickname “Fiery” Figrin. This week do your creative part and don’t get between people arguing over stupid things… like who has the most death sentences.

Taurus 

This week, Momaw Nadon is your spirit guide. Otherwise known as “Hammerhead”, he knew secrets about agriculture that the Galactic Empire didn’t know about. How there’s a possibility to hide plant-growing information is anyone’s guess, but his species did. This week… start a compost pile.

Gemini  

This week you get to sing and dance in a band with your spirit guide, Greeata Jendowanian! She’s a Rodian with orange hair and green skin, working as a singer-dancer in the Max Rebo Band for Jabba the Hut. This week just remember: If the money is good, a gig is a gig is a gig is a gig, right?

Cancer Moon-Child 

For you Garindan aka “Long-Snoot” will be guiding your path. He’s a shrewd, professional finder-of-information who can be bought by whomever has the best credit line. This week stay away from Docking Bay 94.

Leo 

You won’t believe your luck. For you we have Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin. The only Moff that was able to keep Darth Vader on something resembling a leash while allowing him to flex his Force powers enough to instill fear in his subordinates. This week remember - it doesn’t matter how smart you are or how many battles you’ve won, Hubris will, eventually, come knocking at your door.

Virgo 

And for you, we have Moradmin Bast. You likely won’t know who that is until we remind you of his famous line, “We've analyzed their attack, sir, and there is a danger. Should I have your ship standing by?” This week remember that someone else’s hubris could cost you everything. Keep your friends close and your own escape routes closer. 

Libra 

The first droid on this list, you get K-2SO. The problem with this reprogrammed Imperial Security Droid is… well, his looks. Those long, spindly arms and legs, the squat body and small head give him a very Sirenhead feel to him. This week do NOT pilot a plane through the air; you are NOT a leaf on the wind.

Scorpio 

Your character is Romba… not ROOMBA. He was an Ewok who lost his tribe to the Empire when they built the Shield Generator on Endor. He joined a nearby tribe, helped with the fight against the Empire, and gained revenge for his tribe. This week remember, it doesn’t matter how furry you are on the outside, but the size of your will on the inside that counts. 

Sagittarius 

And finally we get to a Jedi! Follow the teachings of Aayla Secura, a Twi'lek who served as a Jedi General of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. She was a courageous General, fighting alongside her soldiers in multiple combats… only to be shot in the back when Order 66 was given. This week don’t stick your neck out so much.

Capricorn 

Let’s take a fun twist and give you Maz Kanata. Maz is a complicated character who’s lived a complicated life. She’s been known as Maz Kanata the Usurper, Kanata the Despoiler, Kanata the Benevolent, and Kanata of the Free Fleet. She’s old, wise, looks like she’s spent way too much time in the sun, but she’s got the coolest glasses. This week find your own Inner Name and the glasses frames that go with it.

Aquarius 

The leader of Red Squadron, Garven "Dave" Dreis was a fighter pilot extraordinaire. He knew his way around an X-Wing, fought off TIE Fighters, coached a first-time flier in the middle of active conflict, and it took no less than Darth Vader himself to take him out. This week follow Garven Dreis’ example and get a nickname that doesn’t make any sense at all.

Pisces  

You need to get out more. You need to do new things, get in better shape, and stop being such a grump about everything. We expect that by the time you’re done with your workout your muscles will burn, but you’ll have lost a lot of weight. This week follow Owen Lars’ example and complain to the manager when you’re sold defective merchandise of dubious legality.

And THOSE are your Horrible-Scopes for this week! Remember if you liked what you got, we’re obviously not working hard enough at these. BUT! If you want a better or nastier one for your own sign or someone else’s, all you need to do to bribe me is just Let Me Know! These will be posted online at the end of each week via Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook and Discord.

Choices that brought her into contact with a teenaged marauder named Enfys Nest, who is desperately searching for her mother and hoping that she doesn’t have to become the Chieftain of her band at age fifteen.

Choices that shaped and changed the embryonic Rebellion against the Empire, while helping those loved ones make new discoveries about themselves and the mysteries of the Living and the Cosmic Force.

if I could make one change to Star Wars:

Davish Krail: Gold Five to Red Leader, lost Tyree, lost Dutch...

Garven Dreis: I copy, Gold Leader–

Krail: They came from behind! *explodes*

Luke: *has an uncontrollable laughing fit, because he is 19*

[oh-no-eu-didnt]

Garven Dreis was a human pilot from Virujansi. Serving alongside the likes of Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars, Dreis joined the Rebel Alliance in its infancy. His skills as a pilot led him to success, as Dreis became leader of Dantooine Squadron and later Red Squadron, as the Rebellion moved bases. Dreis was strict during combat, but a friendly, approachable man outside of it.

[yubsie]

It annoys me greatly that at the Battle of Scarif we know the names of Red Leader (Garven Dreis), Gold Leader (Jon Vander), Blue Leader (General Antoc Merrick) but all we know about Green Leader is that they were the leader of Green Squadron and were standing by.

Sketch dump: In the rebel hangar on Yavin 4 with pilots and crewmen. Days 83-90.

For the last one, I switched over to digital ink in honor of Inktober, and it was a bit of a rough transition!

Hiya. This is part 9. The two of you are facing potential disciplinary actions upon return to your respective bases.

Your heart is still in pieces even as you contemplate marriage to Poe and the possibility of starting a family with him.

Warnings, mainly an angst chapter lol. But still not for anyone under 18.

By the time you are finished looking through your old family photos you are exhausted and about ready to pass out.

You are both mentally and physically worn out.

Poe picks you up in his arms and carries you into the bedroom, where he helps you get undressed and promptly gets you into bed.

You fall asleep almost instantly as he holds you tightly.

You are both nude and the skin on skin contact feels delightful, Poe has the softest, smoothest skin of any man you've ever seen.

His touch and his kisses all feel like home to you. When you are in his arms the galaxy feels right again.

Even as you enjoy his gentle touch you're terrified. You're worried about what's going to happen when you return to base.

The next morning as you're enjoying breakfast Poe notices that you are being quiet. No jokes, no wise cracks, nothing, just awkward silence.

"What's wrong, babe?" Poe asks as he leans over and kisses you softly.

"I'm thinking about the disciplinary action that I'm facing". You tell him, tears in your eyes. "I don't want to go to prison".

"I doubt that very much". Poe tells you, a sweet smile appearing on his face. "The red leader is a fair guy, he'll understand why you were absent".

"I hate the unknown". You tell him with a slight laugh. "I don't understand why you're not even a little worried".

"Leia and I might fight at times but we have an understanding". Poe explains, still smiling. "She's like a mother to me, as soon as I explain why I took off she'll understand".

"I sure hope so". You reply with a nervous laugh.

Rebellion base, Yavin

Your return to the rebellion base was met with a frosty reception.

But as soon as you fully explained your story Garven Dreis was indeed sympathetic.

You were given a the equivalent of a slap on the wrist, three weeks without pay.

During the meeting though, you couldn't help but feel like you heart wasn't in it anymore.

"I resign, effective today". You blurt out, taking the red leader by surprise. "I need to focus on myself for awhile, I'm sorry".

Your own words take you by surprise. You have let tragedy steal the one thing, besides Poe, that you truly loved.

Later on that day you tell Poe about your resignation, and to your surprise he isn't happy.

"You shouldn't have done that". He admonishes, shaking his head in frustration. "You need the structure and distraction right now".

"I made my choice, and it's final". You reply defiantly.

"And they accuse me of making rash decisions". Poe tells you as he closes his eyes and begins to massage his temples. "I just hope you don't live to regret this".

"I'm not a little girl, I'm capable of thinking for myself". You fire back as you cut him off and end the transmission early.

You have trouble sleeping that night as you toss and turn with Poe's warning bitterly playing over and over in your head.

Was he correct? Did you make the right choice or the mistake of a lifetime?

End of part 9

89. „Cut the Chatter, Red Two“ (Legends of Tomorrow 3.08. „Crisis on Earth X Part 4“)

 Harry says this to Cisco in the episode. It is of course a „Star Wars“ reference. Other than H.R. Harry’s pop culture references are most of the time point on, because Earth-2 is pretty simelar to Earth-1. “Cut the chatter, Red 2,” was originally said by Red Leader Garven Dreis to Wedge Antilles during the Battle of Yavin in „Star Wars: A New Hope“ and has since then be used exthusiastingly in all X-Wing propeteries.

O and R for fandom asks?

O - Choose a song at random, which OTP does it remind you of

Also answered here, but there are so many songs in the world, let’s go again!

Pandora on shuffle yielded Sidekick by Walk the Moon. This one is definitely fun vibes of long-time friend turning into a lover. I think it reminds me of a Luke/Bodhi dynamic I like—they meet, they become good friends, they stumble their way into something more. 

(And then, because the main hook of the chorus is "do you wanna be my sidekick, sidekick" I get lovely angsty thoughts about how Luke's Jedi legacy and Bodhi's humble origins collide in uncomfortable ways. Yesss, goood.)

R - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships

Okay, as I mentioned the last time I answered I’ve had moderate success at luring at least one other person into the ships I’ve actually written. So, *cracks knuckles* let's get creative!

Oh! I know! According to the Rogue One Visual Guide, Antoc Merrick (Showed up in Rogue One, Blue leader, excellent smile, died during Scarif attack) was apparently a pilot growing up along with Garven Dreis (showed up in A New Hope, Red Leader, Died during the Death Star attack). They were both chilling and being pilots when the Empire rolled in and took over their planet and the Empire was like, would you like to be a pilot for us?

And Antoc and Garvin apparently looked at each other and went...you know what sounds good? Early retirement. Yep. Getting old. Gonna retire. Live a nice long life on a ... farm somewhere. Piloting. Younger man’s game.

And then they both went to find the Rebellion and proceed to spend...presumably the next fifteen years or so “very retired.”

And, there’s just something very compelling for me about longtime brothers-in-arms in a nice posh military force falling into a shoestring Rebellion and finding each other in that. History - they know each others tells, and they know each others needs, and they understand the cause.

They also, combined, have like fifteen minutes of screentime in the whole trilogy, so I would be ASTOUNDED to find someone else that ships them. :D

A new addition to the collection today y’all! And LISSEN, this little feller is tough to come by! What you see here is none other than Wedge’s most trusted astromech companion, R2-A3 (although Wedge has had more than one astromech throughout his career.) This badass little redboi comes from the 2016 @hasbro Black Series astromech 3-pack; the other two droids included were R5-K6, Red Leader Garven Dreis’s trusty droid, and R2-F2, the droid belonging to Biggs Darklighter.

[canuckianhawkbi]

so my little sister got me involved in her friends’ Star Wars homebrew tabletop...

and they want me to play Captain Fordo, since I’m voicing him in the upcoming motion comic Panic Over Muunilinst, which is great since it means I’m clearly in good company – but what’s awesome is the GM let me create my own equipment and abilities for everyone’s favourite ARC! since I love playing Fordo so much, I thought I’d share my written work with you all!

to create the list I’ve combined my experience playing tabletop games like D&D with my knowledge of Clone Wars (both the 2003 and 2008 series), Republic Commando (both the game and the books) and my friend Joe Hogan’s motion comics (past and future!) I won’t make anyone uninterested scroll through this, so you can read it below the cut!

ARC Trooper Alpha-77 “Fordo” equipment and abilities

Equipment:

Custom Phase 2 Clone Trooper helmet: this helmet is loaded with life support, communications, and sensory hardware above and beyond that of the average clone soldier. While using it, Fordo has double the sensory and comlink range of standard clones, and can survive in the vacuum of space for 20 minutes, similar to a Republic Commando. “This’ll do just fine, general” – Fordo

Jetpack: a similar design to the one worn by Jango Fett before his death. While wearing it, Fordo can fly across difficult or absent terrain, or ascend and descend to higher and lower areas. The jetpack contains enough fuel for five such uses before running dry. “You go together like Mandalorians and jetpacks” – unknown

Knuckleplate Vibroblades: standard equipment for Republic Commandos, the blades that extend from Fordo’s gauntlets allow him to deal extra melee damage with a sharpened punch. “Ne shab’rud’ni” – a Mandalorian warning against messing with the speaker

Twin custom DC-17s Sidearm blasters: Fordo’s signature firearms, these self-recharging heavy pistols feature double the range, stopping power, and energy cell life of their standard-issue counterparts. “Always double-tap” – Fordo

Clone Trooper’s thermal detonator: worn on the back of most clone utility belts is a high-yield cylindrical grenade that can be programmed on a timer or to be remotely detonated. “Dets away!” – Garven Dreis, Red Leader

Thermal detonators: spherical munitions used by warriors across the galaxy, including clone troopers of the GAR. “Make their eyes water” – Kal Skirata

EMP grenades: also called “droid poppers,” these devices are built to release a small electromagnetic pulse, rather than exploding. “Droid them!” – unknown Republic Commando

Abilities:

Ambidextrous: while armed with a pistol in both hands, Fordo makes one attack with each as a standard attack; if armed with only one pistol, Fordo can make a melee strike with a free hand as one of these attacks

Double-Tap: once per turn while wielding a blaster pistol, carbine, or rifle, Fordo may choose to make two shots instead of one

Agile Fighter: Fordo can disengage from melee combat without being attacked by his opponent, this includes using his jetpack if he is wearing it and it has fuel

Captain’s Orders: while in combat alongside friendly clone characters or NPCs, Fordo can sacrifice his movement on a turn to move a lower-ranked trooper instead – alternatively, he can order the clone to make a standard melee or ranged attack by sacrificing his own attack action

She’s Your Type: Fordo gains advantage on attack rolls while wielding a Z-6 rotary blaster cannon

“Eliminate Target” Fordo can mark a single enemy at a time, he and friendly clone characters and NPCs gain advantage on attack rolls against that target while they can hear him; on any turn or when the target is destroyed, Fordo can move the mark to a different enemy

Inspiring Soldier: Fordo’s allies gain advantage on attack rolls while he is also fighting and can be seen

Hardened Equipment: Fordo’s weapons and armour are immune to the effects of electromagnetic pulses and ion discharges

“Nice Skirt, Machine Washable?” friendly clone characters and NPCs gain advantage on Charisma-based saves while Fordo can be seen

all in all I’m really excited to get to play Fordo again, especially in a tabletop game like this. do you like what I’ve written? let me know!

[spicymayo1983]

Hiya. This is part 7. You've experienced joy and massive heartbreak in the span of a week. First your mother and then your father.

Poe has already returned to D'qar, leaving you alone to face unimaginable tragedy.

You're all by yourself with your own ugly, terrifying thoughts.

As you try to pick up the pieces of your life thoughts drift to your relationship with Poe, and the urgent feeling to start a family that both of you have.

But can you survive the events of that week?

Do you want to?

Warnings, angst, grieving, thoughts of self harm, suicide, if this might be triggering to you please don't read, this chapter is dark, not for anyone under 18.

Your father had simply lost the will to live after losing his wife of nearly 40 years and passed away in his sleep of a broken heart.

His body and mind were quite simply tired. What did he have to live for with his soul mate gone?

The last year of your mother's life was difficult as she faced the end stages of her terminal illness. Your father provided her around the clock care. Bathing her, feeding her, basically doing everything.

You hated yourself for not being able to help and placing the burden all on him.

She was lucky to have someone so devoted to her.

Like you and Poe, your parents were two halves of the same soul.

The last week of his life was nothing but unbearable sadness and grief but at least he lived long enough to see you and your soulmate get back together.

The excitement and giddiness of your reunion has been dealt a serious blow, though. Any joy that was in your heart has quickly been extinguished.

You might be carrying a grandchild that will never know the joy of being doted on by grandma and grandpa, there will be noone to walk you down the aisle if you do get married.

You have lost everyone in your family, you are faced with the grim reality of being the final surviving member.

Once again your happiness and accomplishments feel hollow and empty.

You're a self described popular loner. Meaning that you have a lot of acquaintances and people generally like you but no close friends.

What was the point of even existing if there was noone there to share your joy with?

As you plan yet another funeral by yourself Poe and the leader of the red squadron, Garven Dreis, have both been sending holograms that you haven't been answering.

The red leader is likely assuming that you've gone AWOL, you surmise nervously, meaning that there might be people looking for you.

You haven't told anyone that your father died. What was the point? You thought bitterly.

It's just been you, death and your own increasingly dark and harmful thoughts.

The funeral is private with only you in attendance. You had your father cremated and you dug a small hole next to your mother's grave and buried him yourself.

The eulogy? Tears and silence.

You haven't really slept or eaten in days. You are wild eyed and absolutely hysterical from grief. You've gone mute from shock and can't really communicate with anyone.

You look like a walking skeleton due to weight loss. The thought of dying is the only thing that brings a smile to your face.

You clean yourself up, fix your hair and put on nice clothing so when your body is discovered at least you'll be presentable.

As you sit on that little stone bench in the family cemetery you start to think about how and where you want to end it.

You love being in control.

With your final plans in order you head back to the family home and compose your goodbye.

Poe,

I couldn't take it anymore and ended my pain. If you're reading this it's already too late. You can find me at the place where it all started between us.

Love,

Y/n

D'Qar, emergency meeting with General Organa

Poe has been trying to contact you for three days with no response. He's convinced that something terrible has happened to you and he's not wrong.

Finally as a last resort he arranged an emergency meeting with General Organa to explain what has happened, and that he must travel to Yavin 4 again.

"I need to leave, it's a family emergency". Poe explains quickly to Leia, a desperate look appearing on his face.

"You're needed here, I can't grant you any more leave". She replies sharply. "If the first order attacks we'll be crippled without the black squadron".

"Someone I care about is in danger". He explains, the tone of his voice switching from desperation to anger.

"You're staying here and that's an order". Leia replies defiantly.

Poe is absolutely livid at her orders. With a slight smile on his face he looks at her and says with a shake of his head,

"No, I'm going, what are you going to do? Court marshal me? Throw me in prison? The first order will win without me and you know it".

The edge of the rainforest, Yavin 4

You're relaxing on a blanket at the edge of the rainforest. It was the same spot where you lost your innocence to him decades earlier.

It was where you and Poe shared your thoughts, dreams and feelings for each other.

It only seemed fitting that you would end your life there.

As you relax on your back and watch the clouds drift by your eyes wander to the item next to you, on your right.

Your trusty, standard issue blaster pistol.

You sit up quickly, pick it up and begin to examine it with your hands, the memories come flooding back.

Meanwhile at your family farm Poe has landed his X wing nearby and was searching desperately for you or your father.

"Corr? Y/n? Where are you?" He calls out desperately, going from room to room.

Finally he stumbles upon your hastily written suicide note, and realizes that it might be too late.

You haven't done anything, yet. But you are still contemplating.

You are now holding the blaster, mentally and physically you are exhausted and run down.

You can't decide if you need some sleep or if you need to kill yourself, you think with a bitter laugh, the irony of your situation striking you as funny.

Finally, you've made your decision. You close your eyes and place the blaster to your heart.

And then, all of a sudden the blaster goes flying out of your hand and tumbling down the cliff, someone has just used the force to save your life.

You turn around to see who it is, and you instantly burst into tears.

End of chapter 7
