The Wookieepedians have a quote database and it is often quite hilarious. At least to me.
TFN thread of the indeterminate time period
Let’s all take a moment to be grateful the fanboys aren’t running the EU, shall we?
On the other hand, I’m still cracking up at the idea of Kevin J. Anderson’s Happy Fun Legacy Adventures, volumes one through four. In my head it turns out something like this.
TFN thread of the indeterminate time period
NJO Redux: Poor Internally Consistent Characterization in LOTF is a rare gem from the TFN boards – title and bumpy start aside, it turns into an intriguing, civil (so far) discussion on characterization issues in the Legacy of the Force series, if you can stomach a few touches of outright fanboyism.
I know – I’m shocked, too.
TFN thread of the indeterminate time period
You can never have enough “Dark” in book titles: Adventures in foreign title translations.
Weird Things on the Wookieepedia
Bantam/Dark Horse invasion storyline. Sue Rostoni denied it at starwars.com a week or so ago (see the article’s talk page) as did Shelley Shapiro back in 2003 and Randy Stradley in a recent interview with TFN but as we all know, fandom loves a conspiracy theory.
Weird Things on the Wookieepedia
List of references to Star Wars in television. Whenever I find myself wandering around a Wiki, the ‘list of references’ is my favorite part. Now, there’s no way in hell this list is complete, but it’s still pretty sizable.
Jedinet was only mostly dead
For the last week or so, venerable fansite Jedinet has been forwarding to a GoDaddy park page. Well today it’s back – and it’s gone blog. Ha!
Weird things on the Wookieepedia
An almost-forgotten relic of the KJA years: The Little Lost Bantha Cub. Truthfully, this isn’t really weird, but did make me burst out laughing when I ran across it.
Also check out this list of books in the Star Wars galaxy. There’s even a self-help book. Now that’s weird.
TFN thread of the indeterminate time period
“Will Zahn Dare to Do It?” It being Luke/Leia twincest. I don’t know about you, but when I think of Star Wars authors willing to flirt with sibling-on-sibling action, Tim Zahn is the first person that comes to mind.
When fanboys attack (each other)
I waffled back and forth on this one – while certainly relevant to fandom, these interviews with Star Wars spoilerfolks get pretty obscure if you weren’t a part of the spoiler scene. (Let’s put it this way: Once the discussion gets past TFN, Jedinet, Starwarz, etc, even I fail to recognize half of the sites being discussed. And I was by no means spoiler-free.)
Joshua Griffin, surprisingly, makes the best impression; T’bone, for all he denies it, comes off like someone hauling around a very bad case of sour grapes; Fatboy Roberts has the most interesting historical perspective; there’s one more yet to go, but although I remember Episode X I have no clue who this Tai person is, so I’ll just let it go.
But whatever your position, the interviews form an intriguing look at one of fandom’s more cutthroat periods.
