The comic is being translated into a variety of languages, including: German, French and others. Notably, some of the translations are pure [[Gag Dub]], including: [[To Arr Is Pirate|Pirate]], poetry, ''[[Zero Wing]]''-esque [[Intentional Engrish for Funny|mangled English]] and tlhIngan Hol, ([[Star Trek|Klingon]]). Nearly all strips from ''[[The Phantom Menace|Episode I]]'' appear in German.
The players from the original 3 movies correspond to the five basic RPG [[Player Archetypes]], although Morgan-Mar claims it was unintentional.
* [[The Real Man]]: Jim, initially playing Qui-Gon Jinn, then, after the death of Qui-Gon, Padmé Amidala. He's a gung-ho, enthusiastic player, [[Leeroy Jenkins|often blindly rushing into danger.]] [[Idiot Hero|Also prone to humorous misunderstandings of the setting, bizarre and obviously incorrect explanations,]] and creation of [[Plot Tumor
* [[The Roleplayer|The Brain]]: Ben, playing Obi-Wan Kenobi. He prefers to think rationally before acting, comes up with sane plans, but is quick to resort to fast-talking the GM if nothing else works. Also [[Lampshade Hanging|points out the unlikelihood]] of situations they run into. At some point since Episode III he stopped coming to game sessions, but he eventually returns for Episode IV.
* [[The Loonie]]: Sally, playing Jar Jar Binks in Episode 1. By the time the Episode 2 campaign started, she decided Jar Jar was stupid, and bounced around several characters before mainly settling on C-3PO and Yoda. She's Ben's kid sister, who he once brought to a game session when their parents weren't home. Many of the wacky elements of the setting, such as the Gungans (including her own character), Toydarians, and an elected 14-year-old queen, are products of her wild imagination; the GM seems to have largely left the task of designing settings and alien races to her, in acknowledgment of the fact that she is more creative with such things than he is. Sally is also pure awesome in a can, given that she was able to accomplish the flat-out impossible feat of making Jar Jar Binks ''[[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap|likable]]''.
