Chat corner 127: Journeys

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

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.

If I’m reading the Amazon page correctly, the app included both an interactive storybook and a podracing game? I feel like “Star Wars-themed racing game for your iPhone” would have sold fairly well on its own, but admittedly I’m not an app designer.

Credit where due, though, I went poking around and the art for the storybook portion is quite nice!
