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.
