dreamwarsWelcome to this week’s chat corner!
Optional prompt
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!

I was growing out of the prequel era phase by the time the Clone Wars 3D animated movie and series came out.

Date: 2022-05-03 05:37 am (UTC)I like that propaganda theory! That's a fun idea, honestly, to try and look at the media as if they existed in-universe, and theorize how the actual universe looks. A very classic one, now that I think about it...
"i may be more in love with the fandom and the space for interpretation with all the clone related media in general" -- ha, same. It feels like all these stories are not-quite-right in the details, but the bigger shapes are so interesting I get invested anyway.
