Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

[Nickjr104]

to get back on my last post I wonder if the rebellion gets info on las and his family would some of the more extreme factions think that if they try to kidnap his mom that they might get him to either join up for her protection or if he will lock down the entire sector to look for her. which if it does happen i can see create rumors that he is a mommas boy.

I totally see Las not wanting to do anything but having to show face if only to keep the population from trying rip the sector apart with them thinking if he loses his mom he might end up going full tyrant or because they like Las so much that an attack on his family is basically an attack on the whole sector. it would be funny if he tries to send them credits to keep his mom away except they misunderstand it somehow or his mom thinks it's him paying for ransom to get her back safely which somehow works but she feels insulted at how small the payment was when it really wasn't.

I'm seeing this and the most hilarious thing that comes to mind is if Las' pension he gave her is enough to set her up in mansion, (probably an idea by his dad/sisters to keep her out of trouble and their hair) so People think he basically forced his mother into retirement only to put up in the sweet life. thus somehow creating rumors that he Loves his mother and wants nothing more then for her to relax. but Jir keeps having Political parties in hopes of being able to make connections again. but everyone who visits keeps on saying how great her son is and how she must be proud to be able to retire with her son paying for everything. They are also visiting in hopes of making connections to Las by his mother which she her self is using to try and make connection again.

The ironic thing is that she actually went all the way back to her Coruscant sublevel roots instead of doing the stereotypical "spurned elite" thing, getting the cheapest flat she could find and filling the pantry with dehydrated noodles. Basically "I'm out of a job, that means it's time to spend no money until I can get a new job."

I think it's hilarious, she's decided to just start over from the beginning and claw back her professional/social status through sheer drive and a frightening level of administrative excellence. It'll blindside anyone who thinks she's just another pampered Coreworlder, and when the shoe eventually drops everyone will "realize" that she's where Las gets it from.

Give her 5 years and Las is going to do surprise pikachu face when she takes the guild over through sheer determination and drill sergeant energy.

the history books will write down that Las and his mother were inspirations to each other to keep pushing themselves for the people that were under them. she will probably be one the few members of his family that gets more then a chapter or a foot note in the books. like I see the other members mostly getting the " they were related to Las" treatment except maybe Las' pilot sister who will probably have more recognition beyond just they were related to Las.

Like the others will likely at most be mentioned beyond being related to them be kind of being locked to what ever academy they end up setting up or inspiring. Like the ISB sister will be referenced in espionage focused academies. but Las' Pilot sister would likely stand out beyond your standard Imperial Naval academies as she will probably be used as propaganda to remind the people that Las has his family joining the military. Kind of like Belgian royal family during WWI who had their king on the front lines, their queen as a nurse and their 13 year old prince as a messenger who would often find himself on the front lines when it came to deliver messages to the front.
