    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Seems more like a Mugwuffin thing. Mugwuffin is all but stated to be some kind of Force sensitive animal, if not fully sapient. I think Mugwuffin is the one reading emotions and then putting the info inside Las' brains.

    She can. This was an assassination attempt of the highest government authority. As the second-highest authority in the system, Kaela is in charge until Las recovers.

    Sooo... Does Las realize that telling Grant that he's going to spend a shitload of money to give her a personalized murderarmor is basically a marriage proposal as far as she's concerned?

    I took that to mean they were all paying taxes but that some of them would stop doing so the moment they didn't have a gun to their heads.

    Maybe even both.

    There's also the fact the daughters aren't in danger of their mother. They got out from under her thumb in their own ways and, pragmatically speaking, having her focusing her ire in Las' direction only works to their benefit. They may care about Las, but their POVs make it clear they also don't...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    I mean, it's not like Kaela knew she was MI. Hell, Las didn't even know she was in the sector because she decided to start spying on him as a prank. As far as Kaela knew this was an insurrectionist skulking about. I don't think MI would actually raise a fuss about the death of one of their...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    I'll be honest, I was lowkey hoping Kaela would have just blasted Zyx's brains all over the floor when she caught her. That's a spy and potential saboteur running around trying to get into your R&D department, I'm genuinely surprised to good Commander didn't rip her head off considering her past...

    On the other hand, he may also be one of the few big names that would respect his desire to not be forced to deal with politics. If Las asked Thrawn to let remain an anonymous governor in charge of his little corner of space, Thrawn would probably grant it.

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Neither of the sisters we've seen so far have made any indication of that. Alvi doesn't have the political pull to do it and she never bothers to think about Las outside of "Oh, well, he's a dead man walking. That's sad but he probably shoudn't have been a disgrace if he wanted to avoid it". And...

    Sister: Las, Mom died in a horrible explosion! Las, tring not to cheer: That's so... Sad.

    He is, actually. He's setting up separate funds and stuff. He's just doing it on the downlow because he knows Zyx would hunt him down if he makes it too obvious.

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Nothing. Both Zyx and Las said it in chapter 13. It doesn't matter how well he actually does because their mother's "standards" are completely arbitrary. Las survival depends completely on if his mother has had a bad day when she decides to do her inspection. Which makes Zyx being hurt Las is...

    But in-universe, she actually did. Now, we the readers know the real reason Las is suddenly competent but to the people in-universe it would look like Jir was trying to put her children in positions of power in every branch of the military, with the oldest and the youngest daughters in the Navy...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    I mean, there's an easy in-universe explanation: Las was incompetent when he was being forced to attend a military academy because his mother wanted another "military Mola success story". Obviously, if his mother had two brain cells two rub together, she'd have realized Las' strength lied in...
