Princess Leia,

Interesting Facts:

Fact #1: Princess Leia is the highest SPP Orc Troll in the history of SWL
87 SPP at the end of match 73 in Season LXX. She made this milestone in style, using her Pro skill to reroll a block (push-backs), getting [POW] and causing a casualty against Tomay's Compare the Meerkat.
A great game where the Unicorns **ALMOST** scored their first chainpush 1TTD; with Luke tripping over in front of the TD line on a failed GFI.

Fact # 2: Princess Leia (Founding team player) is the equal highest attending Unicorn player sharing this milestone with her brother Luke. She has only missed two matches; (Games played: 71 from 73) since the inception of the team.

Fact #3: Leia has the second highest CAS rate/game on the Unicorn team (31 Casualties, @ 0.44 Cs/game). Darth Maul has 0.54 Cs/game.

Leia gets Employee of the Month for attending every game (bar two); in body, if not always in spirit. She suffered her first serious injury against Barre's Large Head-On Colliders in Premier League. The Colliders ripped through the Unicorn side like a hot knife through butter. Poor Ewok was killed in this match and Obewan Kenobi was seriously injured (another -MA) which forced his retirement from the team. Luke was also seriously injured, but no permanent injury was suffered.

Leia was pregnant and expecting a baby to Han Solo (announced end of Season LXVI). That child's name is Rey and using special elixirs from the Bloodweiser Brewery, her growth was accelerated to bring her into the team.


Older information:

Princess Leia - Hope of the Rebellion has developed quickly and channelled the force to gain Block.

Lately though, she has been a lazy troll and has not earned any new skills over 16 games and she seems to be dumber than usual, rolling lots of 1's.

We hope that she gets her brain back in the game soon.

** Coach Update **

Nope, Leia has baby brain, or some other complaint.
The Block Troll is averaging less than 1 CAS per 3 games played and loves to roll "Really Stupid" on critical plays. This coach is strongly considering benching the Troll and playing pure Orcs.

After a slow start to Season LXV on SWL Princess Leia has started paying attention to her twin brother Luke. 2 CAS against the Norse Side Frenzy Trees, including the scary, woolly Clark.

These two CAS were just enough to see Leia advance in skill and roll a SECOND DOUBLE!! Hello Pro skill; and one hopes a more attentive/reliable Troll on the Blood Bowl Pitch.

Leia rolled her third double at 76 SPP and now has Dodge,Block and Pro in her suite of skills (3 DOUBLES!) It's a long wait until 176 SPP to see what she will get as her final skill advance, but we have high hopes for +ST; otherwise she gets Stand Firm.

The Chancellor AKA Master or The Emperor
News of his death was premature when Darth Vader flung him down the shaft of the Death Star. He's back and more nimble than ever!

Block, Dodge, Sidestep (48 SPP) The Chancellor is eagerly awaiting his next skill advance to get Guard.

The Unicorns start Premier without him (MNG). This coach hopes he makes a strong comeback!

May the Dark Side be with you...

Sith Dark Lord

Darth Maul has developed his dark powers; and is proof that standard skill progression for an Orc Blitzer is nothing to sneeze at.

Block, Guard, Tackle, Mighty Blow, Grab and Stand Firm (at 94 SPP) makes Darth Maul the scourge of blodge/sidestep players in the SWL.

Best casualty rate amongst the Unicorns: 0.52 Cas/Game (SWL Season LXIX)

Notable Moments:

Blue Mountain Dragons Conference LXVI - Round 2
Prancing Unicorns vs Bribery and Corruption

In his 41st game, Darth caused 3 casualties against Bribery & Corruption AND was awarded the MVP, making Darth Maul the highest SPP earner in a single game for the Unicorns.

Darth Maul earned 25 SPP over one Season (LXVI); 6 CAS, 1 TD & 2 MVP

After languishing for many games on < 76 SPP Han Solo has finally made Super Star status. He was destined for Juggernaut... But ever the rebel, Han rolled [5][5] on his skill advance.

After much deliberation; Coach Keothi decided to give Han the speed he deserved. After all, he did do the Kessel Run in 14 parsecs =]

Jedi Master Luke Skywalker Prancing Unicorns Team Captain

*** First Legend of the Prancing Unicorns ***

Luke achieved Legend Status on his 58th Game against Balle2000's Wonga Wonga Whalekillers in the second round of the Bob Borc Cup II; scoring the only TD for the Unicorns in the match and causing a casualty in the dying moments of the game; the 5 SPP were just enough to garner him 176 SPP and have his name forever etched on the coveted SWL Legend's List.

Known Aliases: SkyOrcer (or) SkyOrKer & Freak

MA7 ST 5 AG 3[was 4] Block Sure Hands Stand Firm
Currently: 194 SPP [End of SWL Conference Season LXX]

Luke Skywalker was fouled and suffered a broken neck (-AG) when playing the Wonga Wonga Whalekillers in Conference Season LXX. He made a strong recovery though and played well for the remaining games.

Feared, hated and hunted by the SWL coaches for his extraordinary physical prowess on the Blood Bowl Field, a secret consortium of coaches have pooled funds and offered a bounty on young Luke Skywalker's head (alias Luke SkyOrKer).

SWLPearls in the SWL Forum: Oct 18, 2015
"That orc" said the tall one in the navy mask "Is like nothing we have seen before. He is young, and still in regionals. Yet he has the potential to be better than the Duke. Let's act now while we have the chance."

There was a murmur of agreement across the group. And so, Luke Skywalker's name was etched onto the Black Pearl list. But would it be enough?"

Advertised on the SWL's Black Pearl Bounty List


Young Luke Skywalker also known as Luke SkyOrKer - the fearsome Jedi Blitzer with a Black Pearl Bounty on his head and the last hope of the Empire-Alliance.

Near misses:
Blitzed by buuface's Grumnir in game 49
(Blue Mountain Dragons Conference LXVI) and KILLED.
Apothecary restored to Badly Hurt *PHEW*
Blitzed in Premier Game vs Large Head On Colliders after failing to pickup the ball in 3 consecutive turns (snake eyes each time). Ended up standing in the team's endzone trying to pick up the ball and was crowd-surfed (apothecary already used), Seriously Injured (MNG - Cracked Ribs). *Phew Again* in a bloody game against the Chorfs.
Struck by numerous Wizard lightning bolts and fireballs.
Only two Serious Injuries and 2 games missed in his career since team inception (to date).

Notable Moments:
Too many to list; Luke is the ace tucked up the sleeve in many situations and has either scored crucial the touch down, saved a touch down (see the Season LXVI game against RedMaul's Asha'maniacs, where Luke dodges into two tackle zones and blitzes the ball carrier winning the game in the dying moments of the match)... Luke is also a play-maker and has helped many a team mate score a touchdown for the Unicorns.

Trial of Blood History

Game 1: Orcs vs Slann "Axahuitl Travellers".
An interesting game, with very little luck (read 1 reroll).
Both teams faced up on the battlefield. The Orcs held strong, but lost one of their own (Chewbacca Black Orc) and another two were badly wounded. Despite this, the Orcs rallied causing a badly hurt and seriously injured to even the numbers. The final score was 2 - 1 with victory to the Orcs.
Luke made some blocks and played a supportive role in the game. He was still learning the ways of the Force. But he was awarded the MVP and so began his first step to fame and glory.

Game 2: Orcs vs Humans "Trainspotters United"
Another victory to the Orcs 2 - 0. In this game, the young Jedi begins to sense the Force. The brutal Orcs Kill one of their ancestral foe and seriously wound another. Young Luke scores a vital TD and jumps up + ST at the end of the match.

Game 3: Orcs vs Skaven "Doddle"
A crushing defeat to the Orcs 1 - 3, this was an Orc game cursed by Nuffle. Every dice roll imagined went wrong and the Skaven did everything right. Two Blitz rolls by the Skaven Defense equated into 2 TDs with their pesky movement 9 Gutter runners leaving the Orcs blinking bewildering and wondering WTF just happened. Despite these set-backs, the valiant young Skywalker scored a tough TD to give the Orcs a measure of salve to their wounded pride and was awarded a much deserved MVP. This gave young Luke his second insight into the Force and + MA (6+4 roll) was gladly accepted.

Game 4: Orcs vs High Elves "[SWL] Jeagers"
Nuffle turns his benevolent gaze back onto the Orcs and even this coach is forced to admit that never before have so many things gone right for a team and so many things wrong for the opposition.
Highlights: The Orcs managed a successful Throw team-mate on a defensive drive where there was a Blitz roll at kick-off. This put the Goblin near the kicked ball. A successful blitz put pressure on the High Elves and a failed dodge and failed RR dodge gave the Goblin the opportunity to scamper into a tacklezone affected ball, scoop it up and leg it out across the TD line.
The extra movement and strength of the Jedi Luke converted into 2 TDs and a CAS awarding his highest earned SPP in a match (8 SPP).

Game 5: Orcs vs Orcs "Eleven Orcs One Cup"
What could have been a bloody match and costly to the Orcs, turned out to be surprisingly bloodless (for the Prancing Unicorns), but 2 BH and 2 SI and a number of KOs gave our Orc team a clear advantage with a comfortable 2 - 1 victory.
Luke's great strength and movement came in handy with an easy TD and bringing him very close to learning a 3rd mystery of the Force...

Game 6: Orcs vs High Elves "Shameless Elf Promotion"
Another loss 2 - 4.
The Orcs needed one last game in their Trial of Blood before they could confidently say that they were worthy of recognition. A new opponent, one of little team experience agreed to face against the Orcs and due to the high gap in TV induced a Star Player of great renown onto the field. Nuffle also turned her back upon the Orcs with dice rolls of (on a 3 Dice block):
[SKULL] [SKULL] [SKULL] and
[SKULL] [SKULL] Burn Reroll [SKULL] [SKULL]
The Orcs struggled to roll POWS and couldn't pick up the ball or catch it if handed to them. This greatly affected the ability of the Mighty Orcs to gain any advantage on the field. Blitzes by the High Elves on two Kickoffs allowed for an invasion of Elves into the back field on 2 occasions resulting in 2 opportunistic TDs.
But the Orcs refused to give up without a fight! Luke rallied his team and with great personal courage and ability carried 2 TDs for the team to give some hope to the beleaguered Orcs. Alas it was in vain for victory, but was enough to gain Luke enough experience to develop his third insight into the Jedi ways.
Skill advance roll [6 + 5] + AG.

Daughter of Princess Leia and Han Solo

Born and then magically grown to maturity and imprinted with memories of both Blood Bowl and the ways of the Jedi using the mysterious ways of the Force by Luke Skywalker and retired Mentor Obewan Kenobi. Magical elixirs from the Bloodweiser have helped boost her muscles and reflexes and now it is time for Rey to play, learn and flourish.

Both Han and Leia have named their daughter in honour of the Rebellion's only hope. Jedi Master Kenobi, your name and warrior spirit lives on the Blood Bowl field with Rey.

SWL Season LXIV Regional Awards
Bronze Slipper Twahnlow (Regionals)
C3PO (Prancing Unicorns ) 89 Rushing yards

C3PO has been a splendid addition to the Orc team since day dot...
His progression has been smooth, a few botched throws to be sure, but for the most part this Golden Droid has been a reliable member of the team.

A valuable employee his absences have been few and far between - 70/73 games so far.

Notable efforts at the time of notation:

62 successful passes in 70 games (averaging 1.5 pass yards per game).
103 blocks in 70 games (1.47 blocks/game resulting in 6 casualties).
354 Rushes in 70 games.

6 Fouls
(Most memorable was slowing down [-MA Smashed Ankle] the terrible Clark from the Norse side named "Freezy Trees", coached by the venerable ramchop)... C3PO may have been sent from the pitch, by a vigilant ref that was obviously in the pocket of the Norse team, but the Unicorn fans cheered to see their plucky hero take down the beast!

A gang foul against Lap Dancer the Star War Dancer on Pyates16's Wood Elf team saw the sharp boot of C3PO fracture the skull and send the troublesome elf from the pitch. The bulky screen of green prevented the referee from spotting the foul and C3PO remained on the pitch to support the Unicorns to victory (Game 72 in SWL Season LXX)

For a violence avoiding chap, he has nonetheless managed to notch up 6 casualties on the pitch through blocks thrown. A lot of teams have been drawn to hit the 'weak link'/AV 8 member of the team, but he has proven surprisingly tenacious to date...

Other memorable moments:

In the heat of the game, 4 orcs gathered around Ramchop's fallen Clark (the beast with Claws and a swag of deaths and injuries under his belt)... Succumbing to peer pressure, C3PO rushed in and landed a massive boot, smashing Clark's ankle which he failed to heal from, despite the best efforts from the game sport's doctor.

We look forward to adding more memorable achievements to C3PO's bio in coming seasons.

Jaja is the quiet achiever of the team.
Small in stature, but a big hearted team player. He's also an MVP hog with 6 MVPs to his name. Jaja likes to strut his stuff.

Notable accomplishments:

Saving the Unicorns from defeat in Conference LXV: Match 5 - Frenzy Trees vs Prancing Unicorns

Jaja was hurled deep into the backfield by the Troll Princess Leia, he landed successfully used Diving Tackle and sidestep to great effect on ramchop's New Fish, to prevent a turn 16 touchdown, holding the score to 1-1 and saved the Unicorns from suffering an ignoble defeat at the hands of the Norsemen. Well done Jaja!

Fouls: Jaja has stuck in the boot 13 times, second only to Yoda on the team.
(I need to check what damage his pointy-toed steel-caps have done).

The only AV7 member of the team, Jaja has played 54/55 matches, equal 2nd for most matches played with Luke Skywalker (lofty company indeed)... Bested only by the much bigger and tougher Leia.

We have high hopes and trepidation where Jaja is concerned, he would benefit greatly from +AG, Block or +ST and as the Unicorn side seems to be a collection of doubles and stat freaks, Jaja should be due one of those skill advances soon.

After two Chewbacca's were A) Killed or B) Laimed (with no skills to balance the decision) coach Keothi decided that a Wookie Black Orc Blocker would be hired but not one with the unlucky moniker of "Chewbacca".

Wookie II has been a solid player for the team, gaining the dodge skill up first and then block. He's hoevering just shy of his third skill advance. He will be taking Guard to help his team against the heavy weights up in Prem. This coach sincerely hopes he skills up first game back to throw his much needed support against the tough opponents the Unicorns will be facing in Season LXVII.

Qui-Gon Jinn
The steady boot of the Unicorn team and an exceptionally slow SPPer.

Will the old Jedi manage to garner his 16th SPP before his 50th game?
We're not confident enough to predict "Yes".

The latest Jedi to join the ranks of the Unicorns.
Bought early in SWL Season LXVI - Blue Mountain Dragons Conference

Skilled up end of Season LXVI - Given Dirty Player (richly deserved).
First DP on the Unicorn Side after the team's 54th game vs Asha'manic. Caused a CAS in the game and + previous MVP got his first skill. Better late than never :)

[154 SPP]; The most feared player on the 'Eau de Toilet' Nurgle team coached by Irgy.
Best Nurgle Warrior in SWL History at the end of SWL Season LXVI

Round 5 SWL Season LXVI - Mace was bought by coach Keothi to become the team's nominated Dirty Player... Still in training (on 5 SPP) Mace charged in to commit an unassisted foul against Irgy's 'Made to Messure' shortly after witnessing his team-mate Jabba the Hutt being brutally killed by the cold-hearted Nurgle Warrior.

Mace Windu rushed over to the prone beast and channelling the force squished the warrior into a bloody pulp on the field and killed him. The crowd went wild! The fearsome regeneration of the Nurgle race was unable to patch up the red smear that was 'Messure' and with a nod and a wink, the ref looked the other way.
