Chat corner 42: Romance

[annathecrow]

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

Are you sick of Valentine’s Day marketing yet? This week’s topic is supposed to come from Legends, so lets talk about “Courtship of Princess Leia“, AKA one of the most memetically bad EU books ever.

I have no idea whether it’s actually bad or not. I’ve also read somewhere that for such a terrible book, it’s the source (or at least inspiration) of a huge amount of current background worldbuilding. (I know Dathomir was mentioned…) Anybody here who has read it and can report?

Wait, so TBOBF does re-canonize something from Legends after all! I forgot about that bit! :D

Also, yeah, that would have been cool. Maybe they were afraid that would make the Witches too cool for the sort-of villains they are. :P

The TCW witches were too Hocus Pocus/The Craft and not enough Star Wars for me -- riding rancors was just what they needed! (Actually, I think I like the book witches better than the TCW ones.)
