Hello people, I am 27-year old guy from Prague, Czech republic, semi - professional journalist and great fan of the Orginal trilogy. I am not Prequel hater exactly, but I simply have no urge to see those films unlike OT. I am also not EU reader, but after the Disney aquisition, I gave myself a little marathon consisting of Secret history of Star Wars, Thrawn trilogy and Luceno´s Darth Plagueis novel. and currently I am watching closely news about Episode VII, which I am using also as material for my articles.
Hello and welcome! You seem to have been here for a couple of months already, so I'm sure you know your way around, but if you need help with anything, just ask us here and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. I hope you're enjoying the forums
Welcome Miras-Etrin! Giving a little marathon of SW? How long did you need for all those books? It would have taken me ages and it sounds that you just needed a few days to a few weeks. Enjoy your stay!
Thank you! Well I think it was about two months in total. In "History" I was kinda skipping many pages dealing with the some production details, but the real stories I´ve been reading normally.
Two months... not bad! So you had one (or two or three) of those "summary-books"? I like those. Lots of short stories and many details. Easy to read inbetween.
No, I was just talking that when reading Kaminski´s book I skipped details of Lucas dealings with studio, vacation or long summaries of how was Anakin suppsedly old in the original concept and how it had to be changed. After that I simply read those four mentioned EU books.
Oh, I think we are talking about the same books. I just named them wrong (being at my mobile phone and looking up the right word would have taken too much time ). I meant the books that speak about the background stuff as well as those that are like dictionaries. Or let me say "everything but novels" - ok that doesn't fit perfectly as well, since that would include comics, too. But I think you get the big picture. Btw that Kaminski book looks really interesting. Need to save it on my "to buy list".
