#WordWeavers 3.17 — How organized are your characters?

This is a fantastic prompt.

Here's a few:

• Governor Tarkin: He's a clever man. He's prepared for any outcome. He's forever organized to a fault when it comes to notes and battle strategy. His home, however? Or his personal quarters aboard the ship? Both are clean and organized as well. (His wife keeps his home clean.)
• Lady Nolana Disa: Halfway organized. She's always prepared but never sure of what's to come. She lives out of a suitcase as well.
• Director Orson Krennic: Messy notes on his datapad, clean living quarters. He's a contradiction.
• Emperor Palpatine: He is, of course, an organized man, but only because everyone else "cleans" for him.
• Lord Vader: Does it even need explaining?

#WordWeavers 3.16 — If someone reads your book in the far future, are there themes or influences they’d identify as relevant to our time?

This dark romance tale differs from many. It's from the POV of the Empire (the villains). As for themes, let's list a few.

• Self-discovery
• Survival
• Tragedy
• Love
• Tradition

#WordWeavers 3.15 — If your SC found a wallet full of money, what would they do with it?

Director Orson Krennic would take it. He wouldn't care about the consequences. Doesn't that say enough about the type of man that he is? He doesn't care.

#WordWeavers 3.14 — Antagonist POV: Do you want to be perceived as “good?”

Literally the entirety of the rebels: We ARE good. All of us are. We're fighting what will always be considered pure evil. The Empire needs to be eviscerated.

#WordWeavers 3.13 — If your MC was a music genre, what genre would they be?

Lady Disa would be pure death metal. Hands down, no contest. Governor Tarkin (and this is canon to what he likes) would be classical music. The terrifying kind that leaves your heart pounding.

Random, maybe, but both of those genres are ones that I adore.

#WordWeavers 3.12 — Does your MC love the spotlight or try to pass unnoticed?

Governor Tarkin loves it. He revels in it. Lady Disa, however, tries to avoid it. She's a Sith, so it does her no good whatsoever and it only makes her uncomfortable.

#WordWeavers 3.11 — What’s your most useful skill that could help you in your story’s world?

Minding my own business! I'd be able to survive just by doing that. To be fair, it's a dog eat dog galaxy. You have to do what you can to remain amongst the living. I'd probably be a tarot reader on the street, catching coin / credits whenever I can. I'm a medium, so it fits. You need to get in contact with your lost loved ones? Come talk to me, for a price.

Me: *sees something shady happening*
Me: *minds my own business and leaves*
Me: I didn't see a thing, officer. Sorry.

#WordWeavers 3.10 — What is the most useful skill your SC has?

I have so many SCs to choose from here. Let's go with Director Orson Krennic. His greatest skill is that sharp tongue of his. He can talk himself out of a lot of situations. It makes him dangerous. (Of course, we know how things end for him.)

#WordWeavers 3.9 — Could you survive a day in your MC’s shoes?

No. Not a single moment, nor a day. I wouldn't make it. In any case, I would be on the opposing side in this story. I'd have to be one of the rebels, and I wouldn't be able to survive as one of them, either. I'm a gentle panda.

#WordWeavers 3.8 — Which one of your characters is in the least safe situation?

Lady Disa is often on the ground during any wars or assignments, therefore it's always dangerous for her. It's a good thing she's as skilled as she is.

#WordWeavers 3.7 — Which one of your characters is in the safest situation?

If I had to choose, it would be Governor Tarkin. It's a hard choice to make, though. Wilhuff is in the safest "situation" right now, only because he's always aboard the Sovereign (his ship). Besides, he's a dangerous enough man on his own. He can take care of himself.

#WordWeavers 3.6 — Are any of your characters trying to change the world?

Everyone is trying to change the galaxy. Everyone. It's an interesting concept.

The rebels were / are in the right, but there are two views here.

"The rebellion against the Galactic Empire was a decades-long effort to overthrow the Emperor and restore democracy. The rebellion was led by the Rebel Alliance, also known as the Alliance to Restore the Republic."

The Empire, in turn, thought they were bringing order to the galaxy. They were wrong, of course. (And cruel as well.) But everyone here is trying to bring change.
