This week, the topic is “Dooku: Jedi Lost”, a full-cast audiobook written by Cavan Scott. (The script was also released as a book.) In it, Asajj Ventress seeks out the history of Count Dooku and his turn to the Dark Side.
Has anybody listened to (or read) this story? What did you think?

This week, the optional prompt is “Phasma“, the canon novel about the character of the same name. It came out in 2017, and it was one of the books tied to the second sequel movie, The Last of the Jedi.
Anyone here has read it? Did you like it? Would you recommend it? Phasma has been a fan-popular character after the first movie (certainly also because of Gwendoline Christie’s general charisma) - does the book live up to that?

This week, the optional topic is the comic miniseries “Star Wars: Obi-Wan and Anakin“, which features a random war (with dirigibles!), Anakin struggling with his place as a Jedi, and some supremely skeevy Sheev.
Anybody has read it? What did you think about the story, or the art?

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?

This week, our optional prompt is “Leia, Princess of Alderaan”, the YA novel by Claudia Gray, which adds some detail to Leia’s life before the OT.
Have you read it? If yes, what did you think? If no, would you like to?

This week, the topic is “Before the Awakening”, an anthology of three stories that show what Finn, Rey, and Poe were doing before the movie.
It’s a junior readers’ book, but it’s also written by Greg Rucka and illustrated by Phil Noto, which are some very interesting names to see together!
Has anybody read this? What did you think?
Aside from that, this week it’s a year since Dreamwars started :) This is honestly so cool - and it’s all your work, folks, there would be no comm without the people who come and talk. So I want to say, you’re all awesome, whether you’re here every week or you commented exactly once.
And since I’m reminiscing, what has your “year in Star Wars” been like? Anything interesting that’s happened to you? New story you’ve found (be it canon, Legends, or fic), an event, a fandom interaction? Have you created something you’re proud of? I’m honestly curious!

This week, the topic (should you want one) is the Thrawn series, which focuses on the fan-favorite character Mitth’raw’nuruodo aka Thrawn. (… yes, I copy-pasted that name from Wookieepedia, why do you ask.)
ETA: Not to be confused with the Legends Thrawn trilogy, or the Hand of Thrawn duology, (or the newest Thrawn: Ascendancy trilogy, for that matter).
Have you read it? What are your thoughts? Would you recommend it?
annathecrowWelcome to this week’s chat corner!
This week’s optional prompt is “The Vow of Silver Dawn”, which is… a canon Chinese web-novel??? Written by someone with the pseudonym “His Majesty the King”???
I suspect not many of us has read it (or even known about it), especially since as far as I can tell from Wkp there isn’t an official English translation, but still, interesting and worth talking about!

This week, the topic is “Star Wars: The Aftermath Trilogy”, the book series by Chuck Wendig, which is set after Episode VI. It was published between 2015 and 2017 and its first book, Aftermath, was released just before the first movie of the sequel trilogy.
Have you read it… or decided not to? Never heard of it and now you’re curious?
annathecrowWelcome to the new year! Feels like the old year. Still, may 2022 be a better year for you than 2021 was.
This week’s topic should be from the non-movie canon content category, so I’ll bite the bullet and make it The Book of Boba Fett. I’d say make it non-spoilery, since the first episode came out on 29th, but it is a first episode, so…??? (Wookieepedia article here.)
annathecrowWelcome to this week’s chat corner!
This week, the topic is the multimedia project “Star Wars: The High Republic”. First announced as Project Luminous, it started publishing in this year and consists of comics, novels, short stories, and more - probably the most well-known of which is the book “Star Wars the High Republic: Light of the Jedi“.
Have you read anything from it? Would you like to? What do you think?
annathecrowWelcome to this week’s chat corner!
The topic for this week is “Queen’s Shadow, Queen’s Peril and Queen’s Hope”, the three books about Padmé Amidala by E. K. Johnston. (Not to confuse anyone, the last book hasn’t been published yet.)
annathecrowWelcome to this week’s chat corner!
This week’s prompt is “Star Wars: The Bad Batch”. Spoilers are ALLOWED: the last episode of the season was aired on August 13, so I hope that everyone who wanted has gotten time to watch it by now.
As a secondary prompt, because non-DW fandom is full of it right now so I assume you might be too, what are your thoughts on Star Wars: Visions? (Keep this one NON-SPOILERY please, since it’s so soon after airing.)
annathecrowWelcome to this week’s chat corner! Dammit, how is it almost September already? :/
If you want a prompt, the topic is “movie novelizations”. Have you read any of them? All of them? What did you think?
annathecrowWelcome to this week’s chat corner! How is your life going?
The optional theme for this week is the show “Star Wars Rebels”. (Curiously, there is no colon in the title, unlike… everything else SW, probably.) Trivia time: It ran between 2014 and 2018, got nominated for a handful of Emmy’s , and it’s the first major project produced after Lucas Arts was acquired by Disney (or so Wookieepedia says).

The topic for this week is The Mandalorian, the show that gave us the tired, confused space dad and his horrible gremlin child, and a whole lot of feels. (Unless you’re into it for the “western in space!” vibes, of course.)
And as last week, feel free to share and chat about fanworks! If my memory is to be believed, a certain technically-a-crackship dominates the fandom, but if that’s not your cup of tea, I’m sure there’s more to be found.
Since this show had its share of… drama, shall we say, if you need to vent the Dark Side post is there for you.
annathecrowWelcome to this week’s chat corner!
This week’s topic is the Marvel comic series “Doctor Aphra”, both the 2016-2019 run and the 2020- ongoing. Have you read it? Do you like it?
Since this is the first comicbook in the chat prompts, what do you think about SW comics in general? There have been a ton, pretty much since year one - the release date of the first comic actually predates the first movie! (April 12, 1977 and May 25, 1977) Do you read them, or are you interested?
EDIT: Lest I confuse anyone who remembers that this week is supposed to be Legends content, I did a dumb: Doctor Aphra (both runs) are very firmly canon. (Which I knew, it’s just that I’m disorganized as all heck.) Apologies!
annathecrowWelcome to this week’s chat corner!
This week’s topic is “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” - the TV show, but not the other TV show (are you confused? Because I sure am!). Seven seasons, a bunch of comics and its own tie-in fiction - this is a canon in itself. What do you think?
If anyone’s interested how the topics are chosen, I’m cycling between four categories: general themes, non-movie canon media, Legends content, and movies. Would anyone be interested in knowing the topic ahead of time? I currently don’t have a schedule, just a grab bag I pull stuff out of, but I could set one up and pin it in the comm.
Also, if you have an idea for a topic, I definitely take suggestions! Leave it here, send me a DM, comment on the Info post (those are still screened), whatever goes.

The topic for this week is "Star Wars games" - computer, mobile, or otherwise. What are you playing these days? Fond memories of something you've played as kids?
