Star Wars - A Grim Hope

[DELETED324324]

Go right ahead.

[BKburke]

While my knowledge of Star Wars is not the best, I have always enjoyed and haven't been in a Star Wars rp. For that I have one question. Can I be the bad asses that are republic clone commandos?

[Sep]

This is still going just the guild issues and holidays haven't been useful

[Rin]

I still need to figure out a better idea than "literally Kharn the Betrayer as a Jedi", really. XD

[Lost Cause]

I might adapt one of my SWTOR Jedi to work with this. Possibly.

I'm just a little bit confused by how the AU differs from Canon. If only because I keep thinking you're getting characters confused in the flavour text.

Nope. Things have changed, Palps didn't get Supreme Chancellor and as such didn't have the ability to hide his involvement with the Separatists. So went on to lead with them. The Clone Army was still found and used when the Separatists went on a full offensive. Dooku did not turn he is still a Jedi.

Remember and read the Stance of the Jedi as there are no actual Jedi fighting in the wars. I know my legends canon. The character names where they are are where they're supposed to be :P

Welp, I got nothing. I'm out.

There are ex Jedi but they are within the Republic Military.

So do the Seps know Palp and Sidious are one in the same, or do they think Sidious is allowing Palp to help lead the Seps?

I would not think it to far out of question for a Bounty Hunter to have been hired into the 13th Outer Rim Legion, and I've always loved Bounty Hunters. I want to do a Mandalorian Bounty Hunter, but that's far to close into Jango/Boba Fett territory and I do NOT want to be a knock-off. Hmm... what if I was ex-Death Watch? I've only seen them in two episodes of The Clone Wars, and I don't know how that arc ends yet (and I refuse to look them up cause I don't want to spoil the show), so would you think it is possible for a Mandalorian Death Watch member to have been hired by the 13th Outer Rim Legion?

As for character development, my Bounty Hunter is simply seeking payment, but I plan on having him attach to some of the other characters and begin fighting because he believes it is the right thing to do.

Because Palps has taken charge there is no real connection to Sidious. As it was the Separatists that knew off Darth Sidious were very limited. Grevious, Dooku, and Nute Gunray. Gunray only knew because off the events on Naboo but even then he didn't know Sidious' real identity.

In terms of Palps it's kinda like with Dooku. Not everyone knew he was a Sith Lord, many knew he was some form of ex-Jedi but that was about the limit of their scope.

As in terms of bounty hunter, 13th Legion is Enalais' baby so that is up to him. Though if you wanted to tie in more you wouldn't need to be a bounty hunter and Mandalorian. Mandalore is in Separatist space and will be ruled by the Separatists not everyone will be happy with that.

[TJByrum]

Mandalore managed to remain neutral during the Clone Wars though, right? I've only seen partways into Season 3 of Clone Wars, so don't spoil anything for me.

They did, but this is AU where the Clone Wars lasted 10 years. Tactically it's not a good idea to have someone behind your lines who could decide to join the enemy.

[BKburke]

Mandolorians did help to train the clone commandos though. Not sure if that still happened here though.

That bit still happened, and that was only until Jango Fett died.

There are actually very few changes other than the extension of the conflict and that stems from Palpatine failing to become chancellor.

[TJByrum]

Well, Shaak Ti hired some bounty hunters to help her train some of the Clones on Kamino. I'll drop the Mandalorian idea and just go with a full bounty hunter, since it was canon that the Republic utilized them just as much as anyone else did.

If you don't mind, Sep, answer me this: let us assume Jango and Windu fought to a stalemate on Geonosis. Clone Troopers come to the rescue... what does Jango do? Does he fight his own Clones, join them in the rescue, or fly off with Boba?

Oh those events transpired as it was. Jango got his head removed from his shoulders. So fun fact Boba will now be a fully fledged adult, or near enough. That's going to be fun down the line.

Mace died later down the line. Me and Enalais did have an idea how he died but I've actually forgotten how.

Oh no no no. This is off-topic. I've always wondered what Jango would have done if he saw his Clones rescue the Jedi he was fighting against, and you seem pretty Star Wars savvy, so I wanted to ask you. Do you think he'd have fought the Jedi-Clone forces, or do you think he'd surrender/join them, or flee with Boba?

I don't think he'd join them in the end he was in it for the money he probably knew some of what was going on.

[BKburke]

Well jango was hired by dooku in the first place that fight wouldn't have happened if dooku isn't a sith.

No, in terms of killing Padme he was technically hired by Gunray through Dooku. In terms of being hired to make the clone army that could easily have been sidious' idea.
