Lights... Camera... ACTION!!: A Hollywood Quest

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Hi Magoose here one of the guys helping Duke.

So we have some bad news.

The quest has been canceled as duke does not want to write it anymore.

I'm going to ask if I can take over for it, because I like this quest, and it would be a shame to kill it
TBF, Mags, you have been doing a lot of the heavylifting for the quest, so this will be in good hands. :)

To be clear to everyone, this is just me burning out on imagination of the quest, since my muse has been hitting me over the head a lot with so many different ideas that I just can't find myself too interested in this.

I'll still hang out here, though, since this still does have a sepcial place in my heart.

I'd like to thank you all for making this a wonderful experience while it lasted.

I'd also like to thank @Magoose, @Fluffy_serpent, and @Martin Noctis for doing so much to help prepare and write this quest. I couldn't have done it without you all. :D

I'll see you all around.

With so many regards, Duke William Of.

Sorry for the delay, but Dammit I was at work for 12 hours, and was not in the mood to try and sneak it in with the boss watching.

Sidenote, but how much you wanna bet that when we get to the AI art era, Bruce and Carrie are going to be the least edited whenever they make the Star Swole videos?
 
[]A Simple Gesture that Speaks Everything (Unknown Effect)

Damn, a three unknown effect. Really wish I had even the slightest bit of context for what was chosen, but I had a gut feeling this is decent and just to be sure I did RNG and it came with 1 so I guess here it goes.

By sheer Coincidence, Both Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen are born in the same year.

Speaking of ages, something I find funny is how instead of the late 20s Harrison, we've got us as Han and probably are going to be portrayed as a few years older than Luke despite the fact that Mark is three years older than us, and not only that but he's five years older than Carrie and they're going to be the same age as twins. Also apparently Mark was born on September 25th, just 10 days away from us being birthday bros.

Darth Vader Deleted Scene:
Darth Vader Deleted Scene:

It was while the Rebellion is planning an attack on the First Death Star that all of their screens are hacked..showing an image of Darth Vader..

He looks at the camera with a terrifying stance and breathing, before saying..

"I'm here to make an announcement, Obi-Wan Kenobi is a Kriff-lass MotherKriffer. He pissed on my Kriffing wife." He states with an agressive tone.

"That's right! He took his Kriffin' quily Khyber Crystal out, and he pissed on my kriffing wife and he said his crystal was 'this big' and I said that's disgusting." The armoured man went through agressive arm movements.

"So I'm making a call out post on my Galactic Face.con."

Obi-Wan is seen at the background with a facepalm.

"Obi-Wan Kenobi, you've got a small Crystal that's the size of thid Midichlorian except way smaller. And guess what? Here's what my Crystal looks like!" A transmission to the appearance of the Death Star is seen on the screen with..an elevated Cannon instead of the earlier Saterlite-Dish based appearance.

"That's right baby! Tall Points, No Quils, No Pillows. It looks like two dishes and a howitzer!" Vader says proudly.

The Leia and Luke, for some reason, cringed in embarrasment.

"He kriffed my wife, so guess what? I'm going to kriff Yavin! That's right! This is what you get..

MY SUPER LASER PISS!"

The Death Star launches an attack at what seemingly is going towards the planet..

"Except, I'm not going to piss on Yavin. I'm gonna go higher..

I'M PISSING ON THE THIRD MOON!"

And so, the laser hits the third moon of Yavin.

"How do you like that, Palpatine? I Pissed on the Third Moon you idiot!"

The screen changes to a countdown timer that states 23 Hours remaning.

"You have 23 Hours before the piss Dropalitz hits the Kriffin Planet..

Now get out of my sight, or I'll piss on you too."

The transmission ends, leaving an embarrassed duo, a confused and weirded out crowd.

"..I think I'll be staying, your majesty." Han states out weakly.

Meanwhile, Obi-Wan just sighed. Wondering if Vader only became a master of trolling his kids because it was fun, or Anakin randomly took over and sought to embarrass Vader without him knowing.



Otto Robbie Sportacus looks at Lucas and O-Brian with an excited expression on his face.

"So, did you two enjoy my application to join the writers team of this company?" He asks them with the same facial expression.

George sighed with exasperation as he looks up at Otto.

"We'll be discussi-"

"You're hired." Mr. O'Brian says out loud, surprising his buisness partner.

"I-i'll be here Tomorrow!" Otto states out excitedly as he bursts off from the door.

George looks at Carrie's Husband with an incredelous face.

"We do need more comedies." He responded to George's facial expression. "Besides..this idea about Sea Creatures in a Cartoon Show with a focus on a yellow sponge seems..interesting."


N/A: Magoose can now rest happy that I still can make Omakes :D | Inspired by Dr. Eggman's announcement.

Can I just say thank you everyone for the support and the omakes, it really makes things a helluva lot more fun when people are enjoying what I'm writing.

Thank you.

And for that I will give a small reward.

D100 => 94

Dice I said small reward, not an awesome reward!

Well there goes my plans for… tonight's update.

Magoose: Dice, No!
Magoose Dice: Dice, yes!

Also, odd question, but does anyone else know the feeling of having written more than 7,000 words for a pitch and not being even halfway done? :V

After all this time you still haven't learned that your dice rarely ever do small?

Not quite yet, but I will. Undertale is a tough nut to crack, but I love the work. Although, it's been a bit slow with finals coming up along with some other things, so I haven't been able to get as much done as I'd like, but that should change soon. I wasn't able to pay of this semester's bill quite yet(although I did set up a payment plan so I should be fine), so I'm actually going to be missing a semester in between, leaving me with a good bit of free time to work on pitches and other matters.

Well thank you Magoose for taking the time to create such a wonderful story about a Irish duck pursuing his dreams! I'm a sucker for movie quests and this one is my absolute favorite with the fun plot directions and great characters and storytelling! Absolutely hooked and I'm really glad to have created such fun in return for yourself and others with the Omakes. Absolute top tier quest and utter perfection!

As for the reward...I guess Bruce called Todd on the lightsaber problem and he managed to create a working saber? lol.

Star Wars Production 3
-[X] The Blasters, and All who use them: Who taught these people how to hold firearms! They may be props but they should be treated as real to sell the fantasy. Rolled:D100 => 23+20=43

"I can't see a thing in this helmet!" One of the extras wearing the stormtrooper armor said as he tried to wield his weapon properly. "How the hell are we supposed to sell this if we can't see?"

You looked at the helmet and just sighed. "We're going to need to work on those." You stated as you sighed. "Um, just try you're best."

The Desert was not something you would enjoy being in the armor. Thank god you only had to wear the armor when in Britain.

You would have died if you hadnt.

Failure: Try as they might, the stormtroopers couldn't keep up their ideas while in the scorching hot desert.

They're okay at least.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

-[X] The Lightsaber Props: Finally they came in… now to see if they… Why are they so brittle? Rolled:D100 => 94

You looked at Todd, who was somehow working with some of the other prop masters. "Todd, how did you?"

"These are the lightsaber props that I made with one of the guys, you were all having trouble making them both filmable and able to withstand the punishment that you want to put them through." He smiled.

"How did you manage to make them so strong, after they were so brittle?"

Todd scratched the back of his head. "Well, I used plastic, but I thickened it up so that it wouldn't automatically break, and on the inside, is a single piece of foldable steel, so that in case of the plastic breaks, it can be replaced. The plastic itself will have to be covered with that reflector stuff your propmaster has been talking about, just so it could be filmed."

"It folds?" You asked.

"Yeah." Todd replied with a smile. "What, it seemed like a good idea at the time when I was building them."

You and George looked at each other. "How did you get here anyway, I thought you didn't have a passport?" You asked.

"I got one two months ago, right after you left." He responded.

Reward: The Lightsabers are now stronger, and able to take a hit.

Though they require extensive preparation for the actual lightsaber effect that the ILM magicians require. But this opens up a significant ability for Mifune to utilize his skills in swordsmanship.
----------------------------------------------------

-[X] Out in the Desert: You look at the desert and want to make sure that everyone is okay. Rolled:D100 => 51

You enjoyed walking sound in the desert for two days.

Sure you almost got lost, but you were on set looking for some water.

Reward: You thankfully had a small trek into the desert, and no one was hurt. Or were stupid enough to follow you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Production Roll:D100 => 93-40=53
Directing Roll:D100 => 90+30=120

It was plagued by problems. Problems with Anthony's costume would need to be fixed. The Desert sun was almost impossible to work in, and you had on more than one occasion had to help one of the crew members because of heat stroke or dehydration.

It was almost impossible to get things done now.

Well… You should have learned by now that George Lucas was a master of his Craft, and impossible was just a word to him. That much was plain as day to anyone who knew him, or his work.

Everything was shot and shot twice just for good effort.

And soon you were going to be back in London. To finally shoot in the Death Star.
-----------------------------------------------------

You arrived and were shocked at how Happy George was. "What are you so happy about?" You asked.

"Honestly, I thought this entire Tunisia trip was going to be a disaster?" George laughed. "But, instead it went well."

"Well, let's hope London has enough to serve our purposes." You replied. "Gary said that the studios were not happy with us renting all the spaces for all those days."

"Which ones?" George asked.

"The British productions." You replied.

"We'll be quick, besides, if we have to, I know a place in California that we can renovate into a studio." He replied.

"George now is not the time for changing our minds on the Studio, we don't have the space." You replied. You saw the glint in his eyes.

"Sorry." He replied.
--------------

What do you Do:
(Choose 3)

[]Preparing for The Big Scenes: You are going to get ready for the big shoot-out scenes in the hallway. Everyone is getting a god damn dressing down to make it look good.

[]Carries Oscar Interruption: Carrie asked if she could take a three-day break so that she could appear at the Oscars, seeing as she's nominated for 4 of them.

[]Into the Trash!: Why the hell would George allow this dangerous stunt? Sure you don't see why not, but you want to make sure Mark is okay.

[]The Droids You are Looking For: Anthony and Kenny are trying to make things interesting, and you haven't had a chance to spend time with them to get to know them.

[]The Hero: Mark is slowly getting into his groove, but you wanna know just how it would be for you and him to get along.

[]The Master: Mifune is still trying his best to survive this production. However, there is a small problem. He wants to…visit a Shakespeare company production.

[]There is Underwear in Space George: Carrie has a problem. For the first few days of shooting, she was not able to wear a bra, and it was making her uncomfortable. Hopefully, George can listen to reason.

[]The Swordfighting: George wants to try and make David Prowse try and fence Mifune. You need to tell him that is a terrible idea. Peter is literally there, and while he may not have the size, he has the experience that almost everyone here lacks.

[]Darth Vader's Boots: David Prowse was always going to have trouble in the suit, mostly because he knew his voice was not going to be in the final product. You need to find a way to tell him that it's a damn good thing.

AN: enjoy and vote in plan format please.

Recall the stunt coordinator is a master fencer too, and offered to do the sword fight scene irl and did do the lightsaber fight in the sequel between Luke and Vader.

I mentioned it before, but we could have Vader have a fencing style but built on strength, Obi-Wan use a Kendo style based on swift movements and reactions, and Luke use a more European arming sword style, which was more defensive and reactive and fits his 'knight Paladin' archetype
Why choose? It's a big galaxy, there are different saber styles. We could have Obi Wan use a Kendo based style, where he uses speed and skill to compensate for age when older, and when he's younger uses his speed to overwhelm his enemies quickly but non-fatally. Vader uses a fencing style mixed with raw power, using his size and strength in combination with surprising technical skill to take control and dominate his opponents. Luke could use a more German European style based on blocking, using two hands, but capable of going to one hand for surprise counter attacks when he sees an opening.

Essentially each character in the original trilogy has a sword style which reflects their personality. Hamil has a year or more to train in German longsword styles and we will have a British fencer for Vader and a kendo trained samurai descendant for Obi Wan.
I mean…Vader would literally use his OTL style since his fight actor would be the same, it's just we'd get the guy who played him while he fought in the second and third movie to do the first too (where he was the coordinator but didn't do the fight himself). That guy was an Olympic fencer BTW and based Vader's style off of that.

If we do get Toshiro Mifune he will 100% want to bring in his Kendo style. And OTL we didn't really see Obi Wan do anything really fight wise in the first movie.

Here's an example of Kendo Vs European German Longsword style. The first being what Mifune would want to use, the second being what I'm advocating we base Luke's style off of, a style based off of blocking a counter thrusts with fluid stances.

Here's the posts I made about the sword styles we could base the different characters saber styles off of

@Magoose How many production turns do we have left? Cause there's a lot of high value actions to choose from and if this is the last turn we need to choose wisely. Also I would think that this time George wouldn't force Carrie to not wear a bra considering he's not only good friends with her, but she's the wife of his Executive Producer, Co-owner of Lucasfilms, his second leading man and one of his best friends. You'd think with all that he would at least discuss it with Bruce before going ahead.

Dammit, I hope that we can repeat this action for the rest of the shooting scenes (which since they took part in the Death Star it would be now)

"There's no underwear in space Bruce!"
"What the heck are you talking about George! I'm wearing underwear right now!"
"….Take it off"
"What?"
"There's. No. Underwear. In. Space"

I'm going to say this about the bra thing:

It's there for a reason.

As for the rest of the production, you have three more turns minimum.

And not counting the potential reshoots.
