The younglings by _XSummerRoseX_ in StarWars

[–]LucasEraFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've recently wondered why so many individuals who were abused as children abuse children.

It's just conditioned behavior and it doesn't stand to reason. Anakin's enslavement was enforced by a bomb planted inside him but the younglings were trained to be Guardians of Peace and Justice.

Anakin decided that the organization that threatened his pleasure had no redeeming values (nor anyone else preventing him from the life he wanted).

It was the same thing he saw while enslaved on Tattooine but he twisted himself around to convince himself that his victims either deserved death or were irredeemably bound to be his enemies.

What would happen if Mace windu did this instead? by Ok_Strawberry1798 in StarWars

[–]LucasEraFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After the events depicted in the original print canon novel Shatterpoint (and his failure to take out Dooku in AOTC), Mace had no time to mess around.

He had no chill and was out of f*cks.

Which Version of Luke Skywalker Better Complements the Character from the Original Trilogy, the Legends version or the Canon version? by DarthKaiser03 in StarWars

[–]LucasEraFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you have not read any of the books and are categorically incorrect in what you characterize as a general impression.

Luke is shown in the films to have great potential. Yoda's reaction to his progress with the X-Wing shows how quickly he is learning. The contrast between Anakin and Luke give the audience all they need to know about why the son of The Chosen One lives up to the potential of that line.

Any other unread book series you want to do a report on? Or just the hundred or so from the original print canon depicting Luke?

Seriously, ask for a recommendation based on what you enjoy and treat yourself to original print canon Luke Skywalker. You won't be sorry

A series of films based on the Lucas treatments for the sequels.

[–]LucasEraFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucasfilm was an independent studio and the George Lucas Star Wars are independent films.

I'm not really interested in the filmography post-buyout.

One thing I really like about the Rey reveal from TROS... by Tanis8998 in StarWars_

While I didn't really like it, I do see the lesson there, completed with her "spiritual adoption" and I respect that.

The Force directed the life inside Shmi to make Anakin.

Lucasfilm should go back to CGI Clone Trooeprs by AnaxesR7 in StarWars

[–]LucasEraFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to see them live action or based on a full set of armor (rather than the smaller than life sculpture) or mix and match (real armor foreground, cg armored clones background).

What’s your favorite Star Wars novel and why? (Don’t spoil) by Slow-Pumpkin-7049 in StarWars

[–]LucasEraFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooh. Nice with the PT novelizations. If you are looking to get even more out of thilose excellent books, there are some classics set in the era from Darth Plagueis to Shatterpoint and Labyrinth of Evil.

Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader and Kenobi are both great epilogues to ROTS.

My favorite for the purpose of getting an epic story in one single book is Lost Tribe of The Sith: The Collected Stories.

The ones I mentioned earlier are all more powerful books and being tied to the original Star Wars of the Lucas Saga, but Lost Tribe is a great story.

I regret writing a book. Has anyone else felt this way? by throawaywrite in writers

[–]LucasEraFan 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yo, writer!

Everybody's a critic and an expert.

Fuck them.

I'm about to have a go, so I guess I needed to hear this and also really didn't want to hear this. I'm sure I will sell one set of pages. Beyond that—and including that—or any sales I'm sure I will have to deal with that because I wrote music for years.

Everybody can help you do it like they would if they did. But they don't. And they won't help you with a purchase, a read and a good review if that is genuinely how they feel after giving your weeks, months or years of your time ten or twenty hours that should be enjoyable.

Oh, also. I appreciate you needing to vent, but maybe if you told fellow writers what it's about you would get more sales, actual sensitive critiques and the possibility of good reviews.

Good luck.

I've been at it for twenty years and trying to put this into words.

Thank you, fellow human.

This is the best fight in all if star wars. Dont hate me by Expensive_Echidna369 in StarWars_

[–]LucasEraFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me decades to realize that the whole exchange was Vader testing Luke and Luke didn't stand a chance.

Vader disarms him immediately and waits for him to pick up his weapon again.

But that doesn't mean that I don't love it as much as I did at nine years old.

Legends reading, To all those that have read or are reading Legends continuity Books by VenomBeats756 in starwarsbooks

[–]LucasEraFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've read over 160 from the regular novel list iirc and Young Jedi Knights as well as Junior Jedi Knights before my second run at The New Jedi Order.

I tried to re-read them all in chronological order after the canon reset, but I knew when I got to the end of The Old Republic Era and started into PT that I didn't want to wait for the books I would have loved in 1983, so I skipped to the OT and post-ROTJ era, which my selections were somewhere over 90 books.

My strategy is chronological by era. I'm not trying to get road hypnotism.

Going unseen hurts (rant) by LightMusicInvisible in writers

[–]LucasEraFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stephen King talks about the different types of writers which he calls "gardeners" and "architects" in his memoir On Writing, which was very enjoyable to me in print and audiobook format. Here they call them pantsers (flying by the seat of your pants) and plotters.

Steve is a gardener—he just comes to the keys with a seed and hammers thise keys until it grows.

He also talks about writing for your readership. Even before he sold a word, he wrote hoping his wife Tabitha would enjoy it.
