May The Invisible Hand Be With You - (Star Wars CK2-Style Quest)

Reader mode
Finally got around to getting those edits I promised for the past interlude written up.

It should address the complaints people had while still keeping the same plot beats, so feel free to give it a reread if you didn't like it the first time around.
 
...wow.

So, I just powered through this whole thing over the last 3 days, and wow. While I love just about everything, there are two things in particular that I wanted to speak up about. One being, I absolutely love that Grievous has become a Great White Hunter ITL, his spell on Naboo with JarJar especially. The second thing:

"Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?"

When I read that, I stopped, went back to read it again, then actually said aloud, "You motherfucker." Which, it turns out, is frowned upon in certain public spaces. I cannot believe you made me read that, let alone got me with a 'Roses are Red' joke, @Panory ...and then pulled it off the next time. So, well done, you.

Can't wait to see what's next!
 
Evening folks, the usual heads up that things are in motion and etc etc

The point being is that I'm working on the next update, and I can confirm that there will be Rancors in it (yes, as in plural). I think that tidbit alone should keep you folks occupied.

That is all~
 
Man those Jedi hangers-ons we have are going to freak when we partially reveal the scope of the Abyss Watcher's power. I wonder what we're going to do with them, I doubt they can be trusted like Obi-wan.

Whyever would we do that? Obscurity is great. Besides, Ciaran wants to see Obi-Wan's frustrated expression when the Jedi council dismisses his warnings about the galaxy spanning conspiracy, shadow government, crime syndicate and Sith sect as... ludicrous hoax, and he really should stop reading those tabloids which are rotting his brain.

At this point I'm fairly certain that the Jedi Council already knows all of that (except for the Sith part) and frankly, they don't care. She's easier to work with than the Hutts, and she obviously is intelligent enough to realize that the war is bad for business so she's working against it. So honestly? Good for her. Better that someone who thinks in the long term and who is willing to work with the Jedi to curb the worst criminal excesses is in charge of the Republic's underworld.

Or, as master Windu would put it: "Most criminal masterminds keep themselves above the law by killing or bribing anyone who could bring the law down on them. Ciaran does it by running the largest charities in the Galaxy. Which would you prefer to keep around?"

@Dr. Snark, can we produce a holofilm trilogy that's basically the plot of the original Star Wars movies?

I feel like that might get us into trouble, what with the rather obvious Palpatine/Sidious expy we'd be using. Like, someone might be concerned about where we got our inspiration from for the dread "Emperor" that:
-wears heavily hooded robes
-communicates extensively if not exclusively by hologram
-sounds suspiciously similar to the Chancellor before he's had his morning caf
-looks suspiciously similar to the Chancellor if someone pumped him full of lightning and Dark Side energy
-has redrobed guards practically identical to the Chancellor's personal defenders
Someone like Palpatine might decide to take a much more intense interest in us
We miiiiiiight pick up a few sideways looks. Plus we'll get an angry holocall from Anakin about using his nightmares of futures past for profit & entertainment.

The moral question to that answer, and certainly the Jedi one is 'none of them'. Make no mistake the Jedi will be our enemies mid-to-long term

You really think our audience is that perceptive?

I think Sidious is that perceptive. And his people might at least notice some similarities before he expressly told them to start coming after us.

Don't get me wrong, I think the idea's hilarious and trollerific, totally befitting Cieran's personality. I just also think it takes Playing with Fire up to eleven.

So do we have plans for Mother Talzin? Because I have a much quicker and effective one.

Is it 'Send HK and the Silencer'? 'cause I'm thinking 'Send HK and the Silencer'. Either that or we get our Empire on and practice some orbital bombardment.
 
I prefer "glass them from orbit" for quick and catchy. Uses GTFO, as a bonus, so easily understood.
