Thread: Well, apparently it takes the force to be lucky.
I like alot of what I see, this just bugs me a bit. After all...

Just imagine some rather sarcastic remarks inbetween the comments here... brought to you by SW KotoR...
Regarding Jedi...and destiny...
I'm old, damn it! I'm allowed to be enigmatic when I want to be, and don't you go telling me otherwise.You know, you remind me of someone else I knew ages ago. Pleasant enough fellow, great destiny... all of that. Breath like a bantha.
So I am. Tell you what... when you get to be my age, you can go ahead and answer any question you like, too. You have my permission.
No, but it could be. An Anduvian salt tablet would clear that right up, you know.Oh ho ho, very funny. Is it my fault that some people are so easily annoyed? They're like impatient little children. With blasters.Anyway, where was I?
Oh, yes. Andor Vex, was his name. The Force swirled around him like a hurricane, that's how great his destiny was.
I did. Just because someone has the Force swirling about them doesn't always mean they have a great destiny, but it doesn't hurt to check it out.
Well, it's not so much a hurricane as a slight breeze. But that doesn't mean anything: destiny is sometimes in the eye of the beholder.
No, you wouldn't have. Sometimes swirling Force is just swirling Force. It gets us old Jedis excited at our age so we go "ooo, destiny!"Well, it turned out that poor Andor believed a wee bit too much in the infallibility of that destiny. That overconfidence turned out to be his downfall.
I am not! I've no need to make things up, with my poor memory and all. You just sit still and let me finish, damn it.Does it have to have a point? I thought we were just talking about Andor. Is something wrong with your attention span?
I don't know. Are you overconfident? I hadn't noticed. Even if I had, I would never comment on it. We're talking about Andor, remember?
Let's see... oh, yes. Andor's downfall. I was pretty young, myself, when it happened. At the time, I thought that Andor's destiny couldn't be more boring.
Well, he had a much better food dispenser than you do. That and the fact that even then I wasn't an altogether impatient *twit*.You know, if you keep interrupting, it will take even longer. Have you no patience at all? How did you get as old as you are anyway?
Well, let's just say that I was a strapping young lad with a full head of hair and Coruscant was a small town with a well, heh heh.I was just about to abandon Andor to whatever the Force intended for him when his ship was overtaken by a Dimean warship.
Now, you've probably never heard of the Dimeans, but at the time they were a nasty lot led by a nastier overlord named Kraat. Tall fellow. Big teeth.Kraat has us hauled onto the bridge of his ship for questioning, and that's when I knew that Andor's destiny was at hand.
Well, Andor decides that his destiny makes him invulnerable and starts making all sorts of demands. Free me now, I'm not answering questions, blah blah blah. Don't you know who I am?
Kraat decides he's had enough and begins crushing Andor's neck. I told the boy he should have kept his mouth shut. I think he agreed, too... or those could have just been gurgling noises.
Well... well, anyway.Finally, Kraat has enough of Andor and tosses him aside into this giant energy intake shaft. Andor gets sucked in and starts bouncing around, heh, screaming... heh.Maybe Andor hit something sensitive on the way down or just didn't agree with the reactor core, next thing I know all the ship's alarms are ringing.
Everyone panics and I run, barely making it to the ship in time before the explosion. Kraat dies horribly, and the Dimeans never quite recovered.Changed the political course of the entire sector for centuries to come.
I'd call that quite a destiny, wouldn't you?Well, hey, the chances may not be great, but when one has the opportunity to see something like that twice in a lifetime...
Anyway, go on. My throat is dry and you're making me cranky. Shoo!What?!
Are you kidding?! What are the odds of that happening, anyway? A billion to one?You should do so well as to be sucked into the engine of some evil Sith Lord, you know. Andor was a hero... sort of.Well, now, that's the ingratitude of youth for you. I relate an exciting tale and do I get thanked for it? No, no, it's all 'me me me!' Hmph.
Swirling Force, remember? Jedi here? Granted, I was just interpreting the signs, but we get trained in that sort of thing.
Also make a note of the enhanced reflexes line...
Vehicular Control for example...
It could be, but guess what just made it into my version of the revamp proposal?
I'm not about to let us get left behind 
You're a good man, Caylin. I appreciate the fact you're reinstating the crotch-grabbing animations
Oh, and while you're at it, don't forget to put the Luck and Vehicle piloting in there too

Persuasion too... we're supposed to be fast talkers, right?
