Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

This week is for Legends content, and our topic is the MedStar duology, released in 2004, which focuses on a Republic Mobile Surgical Unit and stars (among other characters) Padawan Bariss Offee.

Has anyone here read these books? I haven’t, but I am mildly fascinated by them, mostly because of the theme. Is this... M.A.S.H. in space? From the description it sounds more like one of those medical drama shows that were popular during that time. Also, it seems these books got “Jossed” by TCW even before the Disneypocalypse… what do you think?

Huh, certainly an interesting approach for some books. I've found that medical personnel are more prominent in a lot of SW fanfic than they were in the films or shows.

Also, will copy this here since it's a more recent post than Friday's. Came across this list of SW writing resources which I thought someone might find helpful. Included is a section on Health and Medicine! https://nimata-beroya.tumblr.com/post/717602392251744257/places-time

That is such a helpful link! I did not know Wookieepedia had a “List of Star Wars equivalents to real-world objects” page.
