It's a real skill to be able to come up with ridiculous stuff on the fly and in-character. If you ever get a player like this, make sure you appreciate the skill and give them chances to indulge in it.

And we almost had the whole group on the same side again. Rey just had to go get kidnapped though, so that will need to wait for later. And I hope that the base wasn't in the Chandrila system as well, otherwise we'll probably not see R2-D2 again without some big hand waves. Unlife Day sounds like it could be a lot of fun, and much better than the commercialized Halloween we get on Earth too.
Hmmm, so Kanata won't going to be joining the party then? There's no bar to stay at anymore, and likely no other rides off of the planet. We haven't seen his body yet either since his last appearance, so he's obviously not dead. Comicwise, BB-8/Corey could just be intentionally forgetful however as Kanata wasn't an NPC for BB-8 to interact with much. I don't always hit it off with other players' NPCs myself (even when they're played by a player), so there's some extra potential to see the only glasses-wearing alien again if Corey is the same way.
Heh, I'm guessing that movie-3PO is awkwardly getting in the way of a touching reunion with a downer of bad news about their kidnapped daughter. Comic-3PO on the other hand, looks to be blocking Zeppo from a very much correct chewing out for running off from the Resistance and his wife, while also letting Rey get kidnapped. And there's probably a few other mishaps Jim the player has done in Zeppo's background between the Han and Xasha identities we don't know yet.
