[annathecrow]

Welcome to this week's chat corner!

Optional prompt

The optional topic for this week is Ahsoka, the YA novel by E. K. Johnston. It was published in 2016, and tells Ahsoka's story between the Purge and joining the Rebellion.

Has anyone here read it? What were your thoughts?

The Dark Side post link is here. Reminder, it is for:

• outright rants (no judgement, we've all been there)
• when a discussion gets too spicy for the main post (some criticism is fine, but remember there might be people here who love that thing you hate)

I read it when it came out and enjoyed it despite it being a very quick read, I finished it in less than 3 hours and had a boring bus ride home that day!

It’s a nice companion to the animated series (Clone Wars and Rebels) and has something I know people here will enjoy based on previous discussions...one of the female side characters has a crush on Ahsoka. It doesn’t go anywhere because Ahsoka is still into the whole Jedi don’t date thing but it’s written sweetly and believable.

There’s a few differences between the novel and the “new” Clone Wars episodes but I had enough time between reading this and later viewing the episodes for it not to matter to me, that might be different depending on your circumstances obviously.

Unfortunately, I haven’t read that book yet. It’s outside of my interest.

Thoughts or speculations on the final episode of Kenobi?

Self-rec time!

First, I'm taking part in Vexercises, and for the first assignment I made a vid about Shmi Skywalker: Hurts Like Hell (two vids, technically, there are two versions with different music)

Second, I finished a very belated treat for May the 4th Exchange: The senator, the queen, and the disaster. Someone prompted "Bail Organa/Breha Organa/Darth Maul" and I just had to. And then it took a month to write, because it's 11k and IDK, Maul is a dramatic bastard, I guess.

EDIT: Wait, forgot this one! I drew a fanart of Female Jedi Exile from KOTOR2, for the CharactOR Exchange: Not Available. Exile runs away to grow flowers instead of saving the galaxy. I'm pretty proud of this one! It took a lot of sketching and referencing.
