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, the topic is Star Wars: The Revenge of the Sith - the last movie in the Prequel Trilogy, the third movie chronologically, the ~~fourth~~ fifth SW movie filmed, and... ~~fourth~~ third movie in the Machete watching order?

(I had such a hard time picking a fun article to link. The one on wired.com from 2012, which calls it "new"? The 2017 one from time.com written just before the first Sequel movie? The Vanity Fair one that suggests a new "Rey Order"? )

Anyway. If you have thoughts (or feels) about this movie, come and share.

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

It's time for a SW movie again, and we're back at the beginning with Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

Fun fact, this is the fourth time we are talking about this movie. (Well. If anyone comments on this post. I'm not completely delusional, I know this comm is pretty quiet.)

I feel like there's something wrong with my math, because in previous years we've hit TPM somewhere in May. I haven't missed a movie, have I??? Maybe one of the "specials" fell on a movie week in previous years and not in this one.

Ah, well. Maybe Disney will finally drop another movie, so it will square up again.

This week's topic is Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade, a novel whose protagonist is Iskat Akaris, a Jedi-turned-Inquisitor.

This is a fairly new book, released in July 2023. Have any of you read it? Did you like it? Would you recommend it, and to whom?

I’m back ~~on my bullshit~~ trawling through the Wookieepedia timelines, this time the Timeline of canon media, and for this week’s topic I bring you the earliest media piece now included in current canon that isn’t the movies or the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV show: Star Wars Journeys: The Phantom Menace, an iPhone app that… honestly, I’m not sure. Recaps Episode I, I guess.

Is there anything to talk about? Probably not. Will that make me drop the gimmick of “first ever” and look for something more interesting? Definitely not. Go forth and discuss whatever vaguely topic-related you can find.

This week’s topic is the second part of the Prequels trilogy, “Star Wars: The Attack of the Clones”, which came out in 2002. I can’t believe the movie is old enough to drink now!

If you’ve been around when we talked about the movie last year, has anything changed in your thoughts? Any new fic you wrote or read, any new fanart or fanvid you’ve made or seen?

And if you haven’t, what are your thoughts? Yay/nay/meh?

For extra credit, give us a question you would ask other SW fans about the movie, silly or serious. ~~I’m not collecting them for next year I swear~~

This week we start another round through the Star Wars movies, with Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. If you’re curious or nostalgic, you can check out our chat from 2021 and 2022. Otherwise, well, what do you think? Who is your favorite and least-favorite character? And have you ever read/watched/played any tie-in EU material?

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

This week’s topic is “LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game”, the 2005 computer/console game that brings the player into a brickworld version of the Prequel Trilogy, whose popularity spawned a series of other LEGO Star Wars games.

What do you think? Completely out of your range of interest? Fond memories of playing it as a child? Something you’d still recommend to a player in the 2020s?

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

Today’s topic is the novel “Labyrinth of Evil” by James Luceno, one of the two Revenge of the Sith tie-in novels that focus on Anakin Skywalker’s transformation into Darth Vader.

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

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

The topic this week is the book Master & Apprentice by Claudia Gray, which updates the canon backstory of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Have you read it? What did you think?

Optional prompt

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?

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

This week, the topic is “Darth Plagueis”, the Legends novel about Sidious’ own Sith master. The book was released in 2012.

Have any of you read it? Would you recommend it? It has the interesting position of a Legends book not yet overwritten by current canon. Would you like its plot to be “recanonized” eventually, or would you rather have something better?

Optional prompt

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?

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

This week we start our walk through the Star Wars movies again, with “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace”, the chronological beginning of the Star Wars saga (well, at least the movie version of it).

What are your thoughts? Speaking of beginnings, do you think we will ever get a movie set before TPM?

(And for the few who have been here for this topic last year, do you remember what you’ve said back then? :D)
