A very special chat corner

[annathecrow]

Hi everyone,

sorry for the month of radio silence. I had an accident riding my scooter (the Vespa kind, not the "two wheels and a stick" kind) and broke my collar bone. Oops.

Modern medicine is a beautiful thing so I'm not stuck in a cast, but it's still been An Experience and I didn't really have enough spare spoons to keep up with the comm.

BUT, I'm definitely fine enough by now to copy-paste a post into DW, so I'm going to start making at least free-for-all chat corner posts every Monday again. We're not dead yet! Come and share your SW thoughts/feels if you have any :)

The kiddo has been binge-watching specific Clone Wars arcs - most recently, the one featuring Steela Gerrera, which always breaks my heart and makes me rail about fridging.

[gingicat]

Also, I am very glad you are feeling better!

[annathecrow]

Thanks! Also, I'm so with you on the fridging - SW is chock-full of it and it's so frustrating.

Welcome back, glad you're doing okay! Gonna link back to this comment I made a little bit earlier on the previous post about the hypothetical Hunt for Ben Solo movie that never got off the ground in case people missed the news when it came out last week or so.

I saw a news story about that. Shame that it won't happen, though I also have to wonder why they decided to do a post-trilogy film instead of a pre-trilogy one.

[atamascolily]

Based on Adam Driver's comments, I think it was an attempt to update Kylo Ren's narrative arc without technically retconning anything that happened in the earlier films (aside from the pesky business of his character's death).

(He doesn't come out and say it directly, but the vibe is very much "he didn't like the way TROS ended" and thus a prequel wouldn't have cut it.)

[yourlibrarian]

Sounds reasonable

[annathecrow]

Thanks! Re: Hunt for Ben Solo, that's interesting! Although I have to admit, I'm really glad that movie did not get made. 😅

[atamascolily]

I feel the same way - I probably would not have liked it, but I also think that there's unlikely to be any more stories set post-TROS without retconning some or all of TROS (or ignoring it entirely). Bringing Ben Solo back would not be my preferred solution, but it seems weird for Disney to dismiss the idea out of hand when a) so many other seemingly dead characters have returned, b) nobody else seemed to have any other ideas, let alone anything even remotely as developed (so far/that we know of) and c) Driver was one of the few ST actors who actively wanted to come back.

[yourlibrarian]

Glad it wasn't worse and that you are recovering. Hope everything keeps improving steadily!

[annathecrow]

Thank you, so far I seem to be lucky and everything is going well. (Aside from the whole "first fall on the scooter lands me in the hospital" bit, lol.)

[sathari]

Ooof, glad you're on the mend!

[annathecrow]

Thanks! I guess it was time for a new memorable life event 😆

[havendale]

Welcome back! Best wishes for a swift continued recovery!

[annathecrow]

Thank you! Fingers crossed, this will end up being just an interesting scar and a good story.

[independence1776]

Hope your recovery continues well!

[annathecrow]

Thank you! So far so good 😀

[seascribble]

Glad you are on the mend!

[annathecrow]

Thanks! I'm glad it's been going well so far.

i finally started up lego star wars: the complete skywalker saga after getting it on deep discount ... for christmas last year. after years and years of only ever playing lego star wars on the gamecube, all these newfangled controls are breaking my brainnnn

[annathecrow]

Thank you! The game delay... ahhh, yeah, I know that one. I have games in my Steam library that have been waiting since... uh. I better not say 😂 Are you enjoying the game?
