Step 7 – The Inner Persona

Hopefully you’ve now had a chance to take some time to Reflect and inhabit your impression. Ask your persona questions, and try to answer as they would. You may be surprised at what you learn!—people in the GFFA may hold different opinions than you!
I have found that persona-building questions such as those below are very useful tools to help more fully flesh out an impression. Hopefully you’ve followed best practices in living history and kept your persona ‘common’, but these will help fill in some blanks.

This is probably a good point to mention that the term ‘Star Wars’ would be meaningless to a resident of the GFFA—there have been numerous conflicts in the 30,000+ years of documented galactic history—the Great Hyperspace War, Old Sith Wars, Beast Wars, Jedi Civil War, Sith Civil War, Great Galactic War, Light and Darkness War, Stark Hyperspace War, Clone Wars, Galactic Civil War, Yuuzhan Vong War, Second Galactic Civil War (itself going by FIVE possible names), Sith–Imperial War, Second Imperial Civil War, the list goes on…—but NONE of them have been called the Star Wars.
