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?

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

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?)

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 the Monday chat corner! (On a Tuesday! But we're not talking about that!)

This week, the topic is team ups - two or more characters working together. Do you have a favorite canon team, whether current or Legends? A favorite AU team from a fanfic? A team up you've never seen yet but think would be cool (or amusingly disasterous?) Or perhaps, a character or team from a different canon who should team up with someone from GFFA?

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

The prompt for this week is a bit meta: “parodies and paraphrases”. Do you know of any media that parody Star Wars, or maybe contrast with SW in the sense of “wait, no, let me do it better”? Movies, comedy skits, illustration, books… I’m sure there has to be a lot after so many years.

If you want to share fanfic, this would be a great moment for crack, crossovers, or heavy worldbuilding alterations.

(Prompt suggested by [personal profile] fleurviolette. If any of you have a topic you’d like to talk about, let me know!)
