-[X]The Final Preparations: George was ready, and he gave you the script, the story and his notes. "What You've been busy, so I just uh… did some work for you." DC: ??? Rolled:
D100 => 89
-[X]Cementing some Bridges: Tomino and Ralph both had two differing takes… but now is not the time for fighting. DC: 30 Rolled:
D100 => 7 (Autopass)
You were honestly worried that the two men were about to come to blows.
Yet somehow, George managed to make them see the light. Or by that, you mean he sat their asses down and told them that the childishness that Tomino and Ralph were displaying, and he wanted it to end.
That led to Tomino and Ralph being forced to compromise on both the design of Cloud City, taking much of Ralphs's exterior of the city, with a large saucer/dome thing, on a very thin piece of metal.
But it was the exterior that Ralph relented on. Tomino had wanted to make Cloud City not only the mining station that George envisioned but also…
Well the simple thing that was, he wanted to add far more "City!" in Cloud City. And he started with the base that Ralph made and then added color. Color everywhere. Graffiti, different colors that seemed to be added on by workers and people, and then there was also some stuff that seemed to be…
Well made it seem alive. Far more than what Ralph first started with.
And even Ralph said that in the end… it might have made his work better.
The carbonite chamber, Tomino's white whale, was unfortunately refused by George, who just… took Ralphs's design because it was dark foreboding, and infinitely scarier. It was like the belly of the beast.
Yet that was paling in comparison to George.
George was pretty much doing everything that you did last time, with Mike riding shotgun. And George was truly in control, hell, he told Mike that unless he said something smart, he should remain quiet, and be very happy that he was producing this film.
Mike was… honestly scared and just spoke very little. It was hilarious to see a man like Mike be cowed by George.
Billy Dean William was brought on after a large, almost ten thousand person audition, and over 500 people were read lines by Harrison again, who was happy to get the work, with Alan and so many much more, even with some film called Indiana Jones being cast that George and Steve were working on, and he was the only choice.
And honestly, the Emperor was brought in, and you did not expect some unknown, to you, Ian Mcdiarmid, was the one who was hired, for one scene.
And you read the script. That was great. Lawrence listened to you.
Reward: Ralph and Tomino have managed to work something out. And it was freaking great!
And George, maybe proved he was incredible as a producer, and he's happy that he doesn't have to direct because he can actually sleep.
All Rolls for the Film itself, and the Film Quality, will increase by +50.

-[X]The Hokadio Connection: You joined Mike to go to Japan to speak to the Minster of Culture. DC: 20 Rolled:
D100 => 98
It all began with a meeting with the Minister of Culture, and him basically told you both two things.
One, he wanted to make sure Hokkaido was able to be seen with the beauty of Japan, and that the entire nation of Japan was behind, and that to film the battle scenes, there was a very high… 99% likelihood that they could spare an entire division of the JSDF to fill out the scenes.
This means the Costume Department must begin to work now just to fill them out.
Also, he told you to not worry about amenities and waiting for permits. They would have them covered.
He was betting, quite literally, tens of millions of dollars that Star Wars would give Japan the Boom that the filming may bring.
So… You took that bet.
Reward: While Filming in Hokkaido, Gain a +30 to all rolls. All the Battlerolls will be gaining a +50 to their rolls due to the JSDF assisting you.
Including Ariel shots. (Poor
Noboru)
-[X]The Media Blitz of Conan The Barbarian: You are looking at the media list that Mike put up. "Alright, who's first?" He said. (Linetail what you want to do next) DC: ???
--[X] While you're in Japan, arrange for an interview with a popular Japanese news outlet to promote Conan. You speak fluent Japanese and Japan is a big fan of Lucasfilms, take the opportunity to ensure that Conan gets a big response overseas. Rolled:
D100 => 96
You knew you were popular. You didn't know you were that popular.
From the time you arrived to the moment you took off, you were bombarded by media, fans, and everyone in between, wondering what Bruce O'Brian, the famous Han Solo, was doing in Japan.
And you did what every good actor did. Play to the crowd. You spoke Japanese and it was broadcast almost everywhere in Japan, with everyone waiting to hear every single word you said.
Conan the Barbarian, which was unknown even to anglophiles in Japan, exploded and the Howard Estate got a petition for over one million people to translate the books to Japanese.
And… well. You were damn sure it would sell like hotcakes.
Reward: Your blitz was a huge success. Conan will make so much money here.
Unknown huge positive Effect.
