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?

My favourite of the reviews calls Prince Isolder “space Michael Bolton” and now I can’t unsee it!

I can't get over the fact that he's called "Prince Isolder". Can't decide whether it's more "wait, as in Isolde, but a dude?" or "wait, as in 'I solder'?" XD
