I'll sneak this video in while Taf appears to be taking a break, because I'm pretty sure it's his worst nightmare all wrapped up into one minute :lol:.



Obviously, the views expressed in the video do not necessarily represent my own...

I tried reading Tarkin last year and it was dire. I can't imagine reading novelisations of the films. :dread:

I love Star Wars but, especially after seeing the most recent trilogy, I feel like a lot of my adoration comes from KOTOR and the time I spent exploring that universe.

I do really enjoy the original films but not quite as much as most fans, I feel.

See, the problem was reading something that had been rushed out after the Disney acquisition and hoping for something great. Plenty of the novels within the first year suffered from that. Even A New Dawn - which was made exclusively for the new canon stuff (being a tie-in to introduce two of the major Rebels characters) - had such a feeling with it. It was the year where writers played things too safe as they adjusted to not being able to draw on the massive wealth of lore of what once had been a part of the universe. The novelisations are pretty good for everything released since that canon wipe, and even those before the wipe (not counting those of the originals which barely gave anything other than a strict retelling of the film) were great to read. As I've said, the Revenge of the Sith novelisation hits the execution of that story right.

I thought A New Dawn was really good, personally.

Try reading Lost Stars, Lords of the Sith, or the fast multiplying Thrawn books.

Oh, I'm not saying A New Dawn was bad, just that it suffered from playing it safe.

Just about to watch this.

No idea about anything that happens.

Probably due to the response on here not particularly excited about it.

Overall Id probably say I preferred TFA but I did see the merit in TLJ.

Released test footage from 2010 of the cancelled Star Wars TV show "Underworld," which was to take place in the lower levels of Coruscant. The series was set after the events of Order 66. The video game "1313" was to be a tie-in of this series. Due to the immense cost of shooting the series, as well as the selling of Lucasfilm to Disney, "Underworld" was delayed and eventually cancelled.

This footage was produced by Stargate Studios (whose VFX resume includes Doctor Who, The Walking Dead, The Orville) in partnership with Lucasfilm. The VFX technology displayed in the making-of portion is Stargate Studios' impressive real-time rendering Virtual Backlot Live technology.

For more information about the concept art, stories, and development of "Underworld," as well as "1313," this archive has much information: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ddx ... L5HOY/edit

I ONLY read books in the EU. And sometimes on holidays.



Why does reading the novelisations in the European Union make you more of a fan?

Find it very interesting that the High Republic stuff is releasing in August, same month as Celebration. There's got to be something hidden in wait as the next part of this venture, and I bet it'll see an announcement at Celebration.

A new “Star Wars” series is in the works at Disney Plus, Variety has learned from sources. The series hails from Leslye Headland, the co-creator, showrunner, and executive producer of the critically-acclaimed Netflix series “Russian Doll.”

Details of the exact plot of the series are being kept under wraps, but sources say it will be a female-centric series that takes place in a different part of the “Star Wars” timeline than other projects. Headland is said to be attached to write and serve as showrunner on the series, with the show currently staffing.

Sounds like something High Republic related.

Calling it,

Female Darth Revan alongside Bastila for a KOTOR prequel series where you see their each of their journeys before meeting, series 2 can basically be the plot line of KOTOR.

I mean it won’t be that of course.

I wouldn't mind a Qi'ra crime syndicate series, which would be in keeping with rumors that Solo will be getting follow-up content on D+.

Speaking of, Dryden Vos makes a brief cameo in the latest Clone Wars episode.

A show based around Rose, Jannah, Connix, and Finn, leading a growing army of First Order defectors (and Resistance veterans) across the galaxy, tearing down the reeling First Order, would be great.
