Lit The Official StarWars.com Blog Thread - That's right, I went there

Who reads comments anyway.

 

The authors (or at least somebody who was allowed replying there) sometimes answered a few questions there.

 

I liked it for my article because people were saying nice things about it.

 

He isn't?

 

The comments are gone? Damn. We were referencing some of them on the Wook.

 

guess my critique is deleted then... need to repost it though now.

 

A new entry, this time about in-universe popular music. A pretty obscure topic (that's a good thing), and only Part 1:
http://starwarsblog.starwars.com/20...nd-musicians-in-a-galaxy-far-far-away-part-1/

 

Do we complain when you play your jango tapes to load? No? Then stop complaining about our taste in music!

 

"the perennially popular jizz,"


Tee-hee. It SURE is!

 

James Kahn what were you thinking

 

Literally FOUR DAYS AGO.

Oh Pablo, you silly, silly man.

 

As the author of the WTS entry on Augie Jowil, I have to say that I'm psyched/shocked to see her and Beezar (not Beezer) Pert mentioned!

 

His ability to use the Force has clearly diminished.

 

Maybe someone could unlock the relevant music pages on Wookieepedia and update them?

 

We may not thrive, friend. But we survive, friend!

This may just be a "hmm, neat" to most of you, but as a big fan of the Holiday Special and in particular the cantina scene, this is like cocaine to me. Hats off to Sompeetalay! And Kevin Beentjes.

 

It's pretty cool to have all the random information about these characters over the years brought together and made sense of.

It's still surprising how so many years later, we are still getting so much mileage out of these old sources. Another example is the currently being released Insider 146 giving us a great "Rogues Gallery" from Tim and Kevin (and others) naming a bunch of pilots in Echo Base.

 

Rogue's Gallery is one of my absolute favourite features, since it always does a great job with bridging unnamed and otherwise unimportant extras in the movies with much bigger characters from the wider EU, so I really like this article even if the focus isn't exactly one that interests me.

Although I'm still waiting for them to cover the briefing onboard the Home One.

 

That would be cool. I mean, who are these two? They look important. They've got to be something more than just Mon Mothma's bridge group.

 

... and Jason knocks it out of the park with another stellar Xim article.


Then again, I love Xim, so I'm a little biased. For some reason it gave me a strong vibe of the old Dune Encyclopedia....

 

Thanks. I think it's pretty obvious why the first part was cut (which isn't to say I don't like it), but I'm really happy I finally got to share the Michael Kogge "Despotica" poem he was kind enough to write for the book.

Dan Wallace will be a guest star pretty soon, BTW.

 

Yamarus, Zaletta, H. Drayson

They're all there I tells ya.

 

It sure was great, and I 100% concur about the Dune vibe.

Love the quote:

"In Eternal Homage to Xim, Whose Fist Shall Enclose the Stars and Whose Name Shall Outlive Time."


It would be great to see some more stories about him and his era, and to see some of those cool, hopefully large , warships he had.
