The Clone Wars

Ugh, I don't like Karen Traviss. Granted I've only read the three LotF books she wrote, but those were almost unreadable.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

meh, books.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

books can be fun. the thrawn trilogy books are way better than the comics.

 

[Jace_Mereel]

This is true. I saw the Thrawn/Karrde action figure in Walmart today with my sisters. I had to be poor and only buy the Clone Trooper Denal bobble head to go with Uto. <3

Also, get this and read it now:

It's about the Jedi and Sith as written from the view of the Jedi Historian Tionne. And it's fantastic... I haven't even finished it yet. But it's awesome.

I want this painting on my wall.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

haha theres been a last supper version of everything

Luke Skywalker > Jesus?

I THINK SO.

 

[derek]

He is Jesus. Allegorically.

 

[Jace_Mereel]

He is Jesus. Allegorically.

Besides standing up to evil, Anakin has more Jesus-traits than Luke. Virgin birth, being the Chosen One (although that is another argument altogether).

Anyway, the new episode was good... fun to watch. It seems they were a little lacking in reality. Like, the Jedi would have picked up on so much more stuff. Meh.

I love that through the test of time, the Horus Story has been used so many times over in so many religions that it's starting to loose it's allure.

I alway got more Jesusy vibes from Luke. Further to that, the allegory doesn't really read into Vader as much.

The Bible would be so much cooler if Jesus went evil, killed a bunch of kids, and then ruled the galaxy for a while.

 

[derek]

True dat.

 

[Jace_Mereel]

Word.

 

[Jace_Mereel]

Finished Wild Space by Karen Miller which is supposed to come right after the Clone Wars by Karen Traviss. And I really liked it. It's a lovely insight into Obi-Wan and Bail Organa. And the Sith, too, I guess.

Started The Force Unleashed and it's dragging badly. So far it's just the dude being ordered to kill old Jedi. He's supposed to kill Shaak Ti next, but I don't know if I really want to read on. If he actually succeeds, I'll be sorely disappointed.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

well direct adaptations of other media usually suck.

 

[derek]

Arguable. Not all.

 

[Jace_Mereel]

Well this one doesn't help that case. I'm giving it up to Twilight. So....

So I started watching the second season of Clone Wars. 5 episodes in and I'm much more pleased than I was with the first season. More epic fights, Ahsoka is less annoying, Bane is a cool villain. Still some cringe-worthy dialogue, but not too much.
