Return of the Jedi Part 4:
-[X]I love the Power Armor: So a new uniform for the stormtroopers was made, it seems Mary wanted to see what it looked like. So you got some stormtroopers with weird stuff on their arms. Meant to be exoskeletons, but they aren't. Maybe you can work with that. DC: 40 Rolled:
D100 => 77 (Autopass)
Well, you couldn't say you were surprised. ILM took some designs that Mary made, ones that Mike approved of… and well it got weirder.
Now the frames themselves were not powered, and powerful enough to be called exoskeletons, but thanks to some wires and frames making it easier to move in, these behemoths of armor were able to be moved easily and safely, and it was painted black to make them so much scarier.
Death Troopers as Steve proclaimed when he saw it, and they were far scarier than anything that George personally could come up with. After George tried to come up with a better name, he just threw up his hands and said that Steve was right and that was good.
Reward: You got death troopers.
Increase final film quality.

-[X]Warwick Davis, the greatest fan on Earth: So you were surprised that the kid was a fan, and really really wanted to meet Luke and Han… so you will do what every kid wants to do, and give him a day he will never forget. DC: 40 Rolled:
D100 => 43
Well, it wasn't really easy for you to do anything else because Mark and Carrie had already decided to spoil the young boy with an incredible amount of toys and gifts so that he could feel comfortable.
And damn you were shocked when you learned that Mark got him all the star wars action figures and comics that he didn't already have… and Carrie managed to get the costume department to make him some extra costumes to use for his own personal use.
George and Steve even got into the action by taking several pictures and signing them to show his friends that yes, he had indeed been on the set and worked on Star Wars.
Hell warwick blew everyone away with being Wicket, that young Ewok that Kenny was supposed to play, but sick, and well, to be honest, you were just shocked that the young boy had so much talent.
But when you finally went over to him, you could just… well felt like there was nothing you could do or say to him.
Than he just smiled as you walked over. "So Warwick, how is the set?" It was stiff and awkward.
Yet he smiled. "It's awesome, and I know you wanted to talk to me after the day was over, but we got so busy, but it was awesome! Really awesome with how you and Mister Lucas just… understand Star Wars."
"Well, he did create it." You said. "But I hope that you've been enjoying the day. Like-"
"I just want to watch you work… it's like you become this totally different person when you're acting and I want to learn from that."
You smiled. "Thanks, I didn't think you looked so highly of me?"
"Are you kidding, it's great and I just want to try so hard to be like you in acting." He smiled. "Can you tell me what you do?"
"Of course I can. Though it's a little complex."
"Well I can keep up, Carrie said I kept up with her, and she was really happy about it."
Now you had to try. "Alright, well one thing is, I learned this from my father an he learned it from Clint Eastwood. 'If a character is weak, how do you make him strong… if he is strong, how can you make him weak. But never make it too much, only flashes.'"
"What does that mean?"
"Never go too far one way, when you want to keep it moderated." you said.
He still didn't get it, but he smiled and said. "Okay, can I try?"
"Go ahead."
And boy was he excited, but there was also that youthful failings as well.
He was going places. You think… no… you knew.
Reward: You and Warwick talked and you learned that everyone was showering him with praise for what he was able to do.
And you think George is getting ideas thanks to that young man.
Unknown effect.

-[X]I Think that this Script is terrible: George may have written a few lines that don't make sense. Anthony is a little confused and you both want to talk to George and Steve about that. Like 3p0 being a god, and him telling stories, but how will he tell the stories when it was… well boring. DC: 35 Rolled:
D100 => 48
You George and Steve huddled around the script with the changes. "George we have to do this." Steve said. "I don't know how to do it otherwise."
"But we can use some stuff in post." George protested, but you raised a hand.
"George, what can we do in post besides sound effects and certain line dubbing?" You asked. "It will sound stilted and awkward." You paused. "But by doing this… we can make it seem more fantastical, as if this was a fairy tale being told to the Ewoks, that they could understand."
George threw up his hands. "Alright. You win. How are we going to begin it?"
You circled a page 1 and then the opening crawl. "A Long time ago, in a galaxy far far away."
George then shook his head in amusement. "Okay, lets go for it."
Reward: during the scene and the fairy tales, you dropped a line in there to make it far more like a fairy tale and a Homeric epic as well.
Unknown Effect.

It was too much, and you went over time, the logging company that you were renting the space was wanting to begin without any more delays to get those redwoods.
But Steve managed to use it to your advantage, as the film showing the cutting and falling trees would be perfect to show just what type of damage the empire was doing, and while everyone was able to do it, and do it well…
It was taxing. Two days and nights of non-stop shooting made Steve nearly fall asleep under a tree that was about to get cut.
And while Steve was not hurt, the lumber company made you all pack up and leave.
You managed to get everything you needed. Just…
But it was hard on everyone.
Reward: More film quality added.
