Weekend Star Warriors

All that glitters is not gold. Sometimes it is spice. Ping Pong has just ingested one of the most dangerous drugs in the Star Wars Galaxy, and proceeds to trip out while Maklaw does his best to keep a junkie from cutting her open to get his drug back.

Part two of my chapter by chapter recap of the first ever Star Wars Expanded Universe Novel: Splinter of the Mind's Eye: a direct sequel to the original movie. Written by Alan Dean Foster, who Disney is refusing to pay royalties to despite continuing to profit from his work. #DisneyMustPay https://www.sfwa.org/2020/11/18/disney-must-pay/

The investigation into the Carrida's local nighttime vigilante, The Laughing Lady, continues. Liliana, Zyzzix and Shogo remain at the Emerald Estate to research, while Maklaw and Ping Pong set out to explore the seedier bars of Carrida.

Basically put, Disney is stealing from a dying man. I have started this chapter by chapter review series  as a means of raising awareness to this issue. To learn more and see what you can do the help, please visit this site: https://www.sfwa.org/2020/11/18/disney-must-pay/

Liliana's parents have proven themselves to have been far more welcoming than expected. Highly grateful to Maklaw for saving their daughter, the Emeralds furnished him with the rare alcohol: Wookie Bowel Basher, of which Zyzzix and Ping pong had a small sample. In the aftermath, Andrikan Emerald starts up the karaoke machine. 

A serious dinnertime talk is just hours away. Liliana will have to explain to her Imperial Governor mother what she has been doing over the past months. Hopefully neither she nor her friends will let slip sensitive topics: such as the fact that they killed over a hundred stormtroopers, blew up the Emperor's retreat, and sabotaged an Imperial bioweapons project. Let the awkward family drama commenc...

Boba Fett fulfills his contract and returns Liliana safely to her mother. But on the planet that trains stormtroopers, safe is relative.

A simple opinion piece on how I could have fixed Star Wars at several stages during the sequel trilogy. Will also be released in three episodes on my youtube channel.

Liliana Emerald posts her on her "holo-tube" blog an update on her adventures, the importance of Life Day, and a story of how she first met the Galactic Empire's most feared enforcer.

An unending onslaught of zombies, an escape vehicle in need of fuel, a massive monster steadily approaching, and the entire Star Destroyer fast approaching a black hole. It is up to our heroes to hold off the zombies until Boba Fett can finish fueling Slave 1 and get them all to safety. Host and GM: John E. Liliana: Megan Cordero @meganda88 Zyzzix: Jeffrey Gardner @jeffaplus Ping Pong: Kat Johnsto...

After that tense cliffhanger on Halloween, we finally rejoin our heroes: Trapped in the office of Dr. Death with a massive fang-faced alien preparing to vivisect Ping Pong and retrieve the Kaibur Crystal she ate long ago. The vibroblade nears her flesh... "Star Wars" was created by George Lucas and is owned by Disney. "Edge of the Empire" manuals are available wherever books are sold. Our hos...

I know we left you on a huge cliffhanger with Ping Pong about to be vivisected, but you're all going to have to wait a little longer to find out what happens. It has been quite a while since we checked in on Lilliana and Shogo, after they were separated by the group by a trap door and a hundred story fall. We now rejoin the two former Imperials on their journey to deactivate the tractor beam g...

"Let's go fight Doctor Death," said Zyzzix, "What could go wrong?" How about a Lovecraftian horror scenario involving an unholy fusion of mechanics and biology? Happy Halloween everybody! "Star Wars" was created by George Lucas and is owned by Disney. "Edge of the Empire" manuals are available wherever books are sold. Our host and game master is John Eick. Liliana Emerald is played by Me...

Their ride was destroyed, their escape route remains blocked, and the entire star destroyer is now on a course for a black hole. An uneasy alliance with famous bounty hunter Boba Fett is forged to fight through the hordes of zombies on the Fomite and escape the madness within.

While Lilliana and Shogo go for a space walk surrounded by floating frozen corpses, the Fuzz club (Maklaw, Zyzzix and Ping Pong) searches the Captain's quarters for further clues as to the origin of the zombie virus and the fate of the Imperial Star Destroyer Fomite's crew. "Star Wars" was created by George Lucas and is owned by Disney. "Edge of the Empire" manuals are available wherever book...

The group learn from the shuttle survivors about the madness that turned the Imperial Star Destroyer Fomite into a plague ship -- a literal "Fomite" (non-living transport of infectious material). And just when they think they are out, they get pulled right back in. "Star Wars" was created by George Lucas and is owned by Disney. "Edge of the Empire" manuals are available wherever books are sol...

Tempers flare as our heroes are trapped on the zombie infested Star Destroyer with limited weapons and thousands of zombies closing in, and quick decisions are required for survival.

Our host and game master is John Eick. Liliana Emerald is played by Megan C...

Their vacation to Naboo ended in disaster, as all five of our heroes were captured in a gravity trap by the famous bounty hunter: Boba Fett. Fett had been contracted by Lilliana's mother to recover her, but before they could get to Carida, they were intercepted by the Imperial Star Destroyer: Fomite. It is here where everyone's memories get fuzzy. They wake up in the emergency lit detention c...

The plan was simple. Cause a distraction, sneak into a facility, reprogram the guns to fire inward, and sneak out before everything goes south. But in war and life, events are rarely within a person's control. Our heroes must now face off against some of the highest level opponents in the galaxy, which they themselves have barely passed level one. But they have a secret weapon. The Shamed One....

"We're going to Empire Land!" An amusement park set right outside of the Emperor's retreat. Officially built to allow the public to have fun and experience the glory of their ruler first hand. Unofficially built to provide a constant civilian meat shield around the retreat to dissuade attacks by the Rebel Alliance, and blame any casualties on Rebel raids, regardless of the cause of...

Former enemies are held hostage by former friends. A queen makes a difficult decision for the good of her people. And the great shame of the Imperial Inquisitors is revealed.

With an important infiltration mission on hand, our heroes decide to disguise themselves by going on a makeover montage. But will it be enough to hide their true identities from the Empire and Naboo Royal Security Forces?

Upon finding the source of the midnight scream, our heroes learn that Gungan honor runs far deeper than all other things. The morning soon comes, and with it, a meeting with the Bosses to discuss their upcoming action against the Empire. "Star Wars" was created by George Lucas and is owned by Disney. "Edge of the Empire" manuals are available wherever books are sold. Our host and game master...

Bombad is more than a childish phrase. It is an apt description of the capability of Gungan weaponry. Every single weapon incorporates explosive plasma in ways no other culture has been able to replicate. And over the past 20 years, the Gungans have gotten smarter, stronger, and more determined to bring down the Empire. Particularly a lone Gungan known only as "The Shamed One..." "Star Wars" was c...
