Dreamwars: A Star Wars fandom chat community

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

According to Wikipedia, September 30 is the International Translation Day - so lets make the topic for this week be "translations".

Have you ever read/watched any Star Wars media in a different language than English?

There's a lot of translation happening in SW - starting with C-3PO, of course! What's your favorite translation moment?

If you could learn one Star Wars language, which one would you learn?

Our topic this week is the movie "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back".

If you were to choose one scene in this movie to do differently - plot-wise, in the dialog, camera, cutting it altogether - which one would it be?

Or the other way around: what scene would you add?

Topic for this week is Star Wars Insider, the official Star Wars magazine. Did you know it started as The Lucasfilm Fan Club Magazine, with the first issue published in 1987?

What are your thoughts? Have you ever read an issue of it? Subscribed, even? (Wait, is it something you could ever subscribe to?)

This week, our topic is The Odyssey of Star Wars: An Epic Poem - an adaptation of Rogue One and the Original Trilogy in the style of Odyssey and Beowulf.

...yes, really.

Have you heard of it? Have you read it? What do you think about it, whether you did or not? Come and discuss!

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

This week is general topic week, and our discussion topic is "seasons" of any kind. Seasons of the year, TV show seasons, social seasons, fashion seasons, or maybe even food seasoning if you want to stretch it!

Our topic for this week: the movie Star Wars: A New Hope, AKA "just Star Wars", AKA the first of them all.

It might be a little difficult to talk about this one! But... hm. Lets say you had to cast this movie today. Who would you cast for which role? I don't mean actors who look like the originals, but rather the roles as written, the farm boy turned hero, the plucky princess, the scoundrel...

Or, if you want to mentally scar us, who do you think would get cast in a worst-case version of SW? (I'm sensing some Chrises XD)

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

Something of a continuation from last week, the topic for this week is The Approaching Storm, a Prequel-era novel by Alan Dean Foster, the author of the famous Episode IV novelization. It's meant to serve as a prelude to Episode II - so, not quite a novelization, but very very close to it.

Have you read this book? What did you think? Would you recommend it?

Alternately: go look at the book's cover. Would you pick it up in a shop? What would you think if you saw it?

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

This week it's time for non-movie, canon media, and I'm going to dip into the archive and bring up a topic from around this time a few years ago: "movie novelizations".

As far as I know, every SW movie got a book written from it - some even multiple, if we count comic adaptations and books for younger readers. Have you ever read any? What do you think about novelizations as a concept - do you enjoy them, find them a valuable source of canon, or would you rather they didn't exist at all?

And how much canon do you actually consider them? I'm not quite sure how much does Disney consider them canon (but admittedly I didn't search too hard).

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

The topic for this week is "writing". Does that mean... Aurebesh? In-universe writers and/or their works? Your own Star Wars related writing? All the writers who ever wrote a Star Wars book? Yes.

Welcome to your weekly free-for-all chat post. Anything SW-related is fair game.

This week's theme has been Legacy of the Force, if you've missed it.

Have fun!
