Comics The 'Union' comic is one of the most fun, cheesiest, ridiculous SW stories I've ever read

You definitely have to read it! Your life will never be the same again.

 

Mallatobuck should have been in those spa scenes.

 

They're New Territories hicks. The "Royal Guard" is a Daala promotee. The henchmen are decidedly lower-class. I doubt the Moff ever held office under Palpatine; he's probably some up-jumped shipping clerk. I would think you of all people would at least demand a better class of loyalist than these ignorant, reactionary, Remnantist slobs.

 

some questions about the spa scene...and meanwhile I know who got the tatoo

is it a public spa or a private one for VIPs? Because as we could see from the ballgame both genders do use it and as per mudbath and whatever apparently nudism is allowed there.

So.. did the Chief of State go naked in public or not? or was that why she got reelected after that Calibob


that aside, while I enjoy seing the normal life of heroes in between big epic adventures, given their celebrity status in the gffa I see way too few fans/paparazzi etc. surrounding them inuniverse whenever in a bar or whereever. how comes? hidden Noghri everywhere to shield them?

 

given the Daala supporters continuing being trouble post peace accords, and especially with the Shadow Academy later on... why was old Pelly still friends with Daala? he knew where she was, and what she did. so.. did Pelly KNOW she bugged the New Republic? did he secretly even support her despite the peace accords? sneaky old Imperial he is, I say he did!

though it still puzzles me that Daala even dared to work with darksiders in the Shadow Academy. She is not the type for that given her forceusershate. well given her ploy with the fake Emperor and Royal Guards which backfired.. no wonder.

 

Because Traviss

 

I have no idea who all these people/names are you guys keep mentioning and I still enjoyed the heck out of this comic. That counts for something right?

 

They may be loyalists, they may even be old, but I really doubt they've got any loyalty to the Core Worlds.

 

well... did Pelly have an affair with her like Boba.. or didn't he? We are still missing the mother of his son(s) right? guess we found her now even the timeframe for his birth would fit this... and explain her absence during pregnancy

 

You guys are really nerdying up this thread, as if it wasn't nerdy enough already!

 

So Tarkin was not a one time thing, Daala clearly has a thing for older men

 

Ignoring them is an improvement on Palpatine's approach, which was to get rid of them (or at least, a big chunk of bureaucracy) entirely, in A New Hope:

"How will the Emperor maintain control without the bureaucracy?"
"The regional governors now have direct control over their territories"

And, if you believe Daykim in Dark Apprentice (rather than Pollux Hax in The Illustrated Star Wars Universe) the Emperor had a zero-tolerance policy when it came to bureaucrats making mistakes, even minor ones.

 

Anakin sjywalker had that position in AOTC, while talking to Padme

 

Maybe she fell afoul of the Obstructive Bureaucrat one too many times? It's far from uncommon for politicians in fiction (and possibly in real life) to have a distaste for civil servants as a result. Hacker vs Humphrey Appleby in Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister, for example.

 

The operatives all give the appearance of being a bunch of low-level schlubs. They're not nobles, they're not Generationals . . . they're just some schmucks who joined the army. The odds are much greater that they're from Ass End, Outer Rim than that they're slumming Essellians nursing a patriotic love of the Core (one of them is a Coruscanti bum, but that still doesn't establish the kind of Core patriotism in question). They miss the good old days of the powerful Empire, but it's from being down-on-their-luck bums who got tossed out of the military due to shrinking budgets, not from patriotism. And Moff Takkar lined his pockets out of His Imperial Majesty's treasury, so he's no patriot.

Sure, they're loyalists of a sort, and Takar is even kind of a snob . . . but they're the absolute bottom barrel of loyalists. Guys the Remnant downsized who just miss a steady paycheck and a crooked Outer Rim moff who just misses other people's paychecks.

 

The real problem politicians have with the Civil Service is, while it will try its best to put their damn-fool ideas into practice, they will also flag up exactly how impossible the request is, how impractical, overly costly and inefficient it actually is.

Case in point the UK's open data czar wanted data released no matter what, civil servants argued against it citing the need for quality assurance, the response? If the data's bad the public community will help fix it! How naive can you get? No, the public will not help fix it, they'll ask why their taxes are being spent on bad slapdash work and the UK government's open data reputation in terms of quality will be on par with a sewer!

 

We are missing the mother for one son, presuming that Vitor Reige is his son(not just a lookalike or even clone). If Pellaeon & Daala were to have a romance that resulted in a child it would have meant Vitor was 21-22 during Force Heretic.

Overall I think it is highly unlikely.

 

Wasn't Vitor Reige supposed to be pretty young, though?
