Because the "Melrose Naboo" stories take place out of Star Wars continuity, we (the Bombers) figured it would be best to have an introduction and brief character summary handy for those of you who are confused or curious about what goes on in our sick, twisted minds. Enjoy!

Summary:
• Melrose Naboo is an apartment building on Coruscant.
  • It is run by Yoda.
  • The majority of the inhabitants are Force Users of all different species.
  • This is where the main characters are found.
• Continuity is so screwed that
  • The local bar is named "Chewie's", and the gang frequently inhabits it.
  • Lotsa people you figure should be dead are actually alive.
  • Lotsa people you figure shouldn't be born yet are all grown up.
• Not far from Chewie's is the street that Jar Jar and Mace Windu sell their wares...

The Characters (in no particular order):
• Qui-Gon Jin: Yes, he survived "The Phantom Menace". We're not sure how, but he did. Qui-Gon is the black sheep of the Jedi, and has a rep of being quite the bad ass. In his late 30's, he seems to make several visits to Tatooine...
• Obi-Wan Kenobi: Obi-Wan's... well...hm. Yeah. He pretty much does what he wants, when he wants, and usually winds up in some pretty sticky situations because of it. He has an undying devotion to Qui-Gon, and is known for his intolerence to Pepsi and alcohol. He's in his late 20's.
• Anakin Skywalker: Destined for the Dark Side, Anakin nonetheless trains (occasionally) to be a Jedi, but doesn't take it very serious. He seems more interested in partying and "scoring" with Padmé. He's in is early 20's.
• Padmé/Amidala: The Queen of Naboo, even though she's left the planet in the hands of one of her numerous clones so she can "have some fun". Early 20's.
• Darth Maul: Huh, he survived too, eh? Maul's known for his crazy antics and smelly laundry. He pops up now and again to check up on his old buddy Obi-Wan and Anakin (he seems to think Ani'll make a great apprentice when Maul strikes down his Master).
• Sidious/Palpatine: What can we say, he's the local fruitcake. He makes life miserable for everyone else, but due to his senility he often forgets who he's supposed to be at what time... which makes his political career somewhat of a farce. Then again, who needs a political career when he's got the Force to buy his votes...
• Jar Jar: Fresh from the swamps of Naboo, Jar Jar has recently made some cash in the "escort" sector.
• The Jedi Council: a bunch of oddballs with really strong command of the Force. Yoda's... well... Yoda, Windu's a drug Baron, and the rest, well, who gives a crap? Those are the only two guys that are signifigant anyways. Oh, yeah, Yoda figures he "senses much fear" in pretty much everybody these days, since he's kinda senile.

Some basic factoids about this Universe:
• There are more than 2 Sith. There are lots of 'em. They have their own council, and even a temple on Coruscant.
• The Jedi Council has decided that the Sith DO NOT exist. Therefore, there are no Sith on Coruscant. The Padawan Union, however, does not agree. The compromise is proof of the existence of Alternate Users of the Force, or as the Padawans say, Dark Side Guys.
• There is only one Padmé. There are tons of Amidala clones. Padmé is the real Queen Amidala. We will always call her Padmé, even if she's being Queen Amidala. Any other reference to Amidala is probably a clone. Even if we don't say "Amidala Clone #Whatever".
• Watch out for Padmé's Wardrobe. It's a transdimensional warp or something, it's gotta be. All we know is that the only person to ever actually get out alive was Obi-Wan, and he made a map. But the map became obsolete when Padmé added another two wings...
• Anakin isn't really Qui-Gon's apprentice. Qui-Gon pretends he is to piss off the Jedi Council though. Obi-Wan is still Qui-Gon's little Padawan Learner, and has the braid to prove it.
• Padmé and Obi-Wan are friends.
• Anakin and Padmé are lovers.
• Obi-Wan and Anakin don't really get along (Understatement of the Year)

Thanks to Notorious Bomber #2 for the spiffy new Introduction, far betterthan the old one, as you can see.
