So what do yo do when you should be writing a paper? Well I started looking around the Lit board here, and even glimpse through threads I normally wouldn't be interested in at all. Then I found discussion about The Force Unleashed rpg guide. TFU is set between ROTS and ANH, if I've understood it correctly it leads very close to ANH. Now the interesting thing that one of the characters that has gotten a statistic page in the guide, according to the news, is Sabé! I haven't found any info about what it says, but that should mean that she is still around and doing things long after the battle of Naboo. I'm hoping that some more information about it will come soon...

And GB I'm putting what I know about Streets of Shadows under highlight, for those of you want to remain spoiler-free. I haven't had time to read the book itself yet, or rather I have just started but nothing HM or Padmé related yet. According to the preview, which is also the first pages of the book, Typho was seriously in love with Padmé and is now out to avenge her death. He blaims everything on Anakin Skywalker and wants to find him. I'd guess this might mean that Typho is going to end up dead in the book. She-who-shouldn't-be-named has thankfully not shown up yet.


Ok, in response to that spoilery stuff...
Typho in love with Padmé? Oh, dear. I could see him feeling protective of her and being like an older brother and having the revenge/anger issue...but love? /sigh Doesn't he know he's in love with Dormé? wink

But, yea on the Sabé stuff! I'm glad to know she's around and still serving in some capacity. Although I'm sad if it means she died on Alderaan. Keep the snippets coming!

I'm not sure if there's going to be much more informatin than that, after all it's role playing guide not a novel. It makes you wonder what Sabé has been doing after TPM though.

And GB, I saw your snowbunny at the RL boards, and it's looking great!

Here comes the short version of Streets of Shadows.

So Typho is so in love with Padmé that he has decided to find her killer, in a roundabout way he realises that Vader must have gone to Mustafar, killed Anakin and then killed Padmé. He goes up against Vader with a blaster, so you can guess how that ends. He dies with a wish to see Padmé again.

Another subplot is that Vader wants to get hold of the jedi Jax Pavan and has hired miss red ponytail to find him. I wouldn't say that was a good choice though since during the book she gets
1. beaten by Typho - in a lightsabre duel!
2. beaten by Vader
3. beaten by mutilated twilek jedi
4. defeated and buried under a mound of sand by Jax Pavan.

It's too bad she shows up in one of the Legacy of the Force books otherwise one could have hoped that we would have been rid of her by now.

No handmaidens mentioned at all though. sad

I wonder if we can beg anyone for a screenshot of her in game or get a script of her lines in the game? Hmmm....

Thanks about the Snow Bunny! I wore it at Legoland for SW Weekends. But even more cool to me is getting a friend to machine a handmaiden blaster and a battlemaiden belt buckle for me. :~D

I thought Streets of Shadows was just a novel, and not a game? confused

We are talking about two things. Street of Shadows is the novel that I've posted spoilers about. Sabe is featured in the role playing guide to The Force Unleashed game. I don't think she's part of the game itself, since the RP guide apparently is a guide to the whole time era not just The Force Unleashed.

Oh, okay, that makes a little more sense. I'm in the middle of playing the game, and while I don't think Sabé will make a cameo, I'll keep my eye out for her.

I read on one of the gaming forums that she's an NPC. So, Ander, if you see her, SCREENSHOT! :~D Um, pretty please?

ObiAnne--new handmaiden costume opportunity! ;~)

Ohhh, that's really exciting that she's really in the game! And a good thing with digital media is that it might be easier to track down suitable fabrics, since they give you a bit more freedom than real clothes.

Well, I can't say for sure that she is, but a google on her and the game lists her as an NPC by several people. I'd *love* to see her!!!!!!!!!

And yeah, it should be that there is more interpretation available, but as is turning out with the snow bunny discussion (at RL), I guess there's limits to that.

I was wondering if there was anything you would like me to mention when I give my report to the EUC Senate about the happening in the SWC?

If you were wondering, I'm the SWC ambassador to the EUC Senate. So let me know of any new developments, and I'll be sure to mention it. Thanks.

I hadn't heard about this before...what sorts of "new developments" are you looking for? confused

We're kinda' an oldish thread/group as far as how long we've been around...do you mean like ObiAnne discovering Sabé's post TPM existence? Or news about the RHS itself?

Oh, the days of random "!!!!!!!!!!" and Ewan pics and "Kilt!" calls! I'm glad to know you're OK. :~) And what have you been writing?


Magazines! I have to be vague, but it's one of the magazines in the WIZARD family. If you know what they publish, you can pretty easily figure out which one I work for.

10 years, already? That'd mean I have to admit to being in my mid-30s now, which I'm sooo not ready to do. ;~)


I still can't acknowledge that I'm 3 yrs away from 30, so, you know, I totally can't talk.

Dormé plushie is aging well. Part of it is that she had to be stored while toddler toys take over the whole house, so there's little chance of abuse. But I still see her from time to time!


YAY! I'm glad she's still around.

We need to have one great big celebration, certainly!


I will actually show up to that party. Remember the old Christmas parties we used to have in thread? Yeah, I miss those.
