Lit Books Comics A/V One Sentence or Less -- ANDOR (SEASON 1)

This entire forum is PROMOTED!

 

Oooooh, do I get colors now?

 

Following the events of Return of the Jedi, Bib Fortuna travels to a dark world where he meets with a talking mouse in a hooded robe who foretells of the end of time, when all that Bib knows will be as dust and time will literally be rewritten as darkness falls unto the worlds of man and mousekind alike.



Edit: And I've just see that krtmd already did this. I hate you

 

From memory, I think they're meant to protect you in the realm of darkness or something.

****

Anyway, since krtmd had already done the Episode VII link, my second entry:

Bib Fortuna travels to the word of Dentro where his encounter with a man with white eyes called Guff Mac sets in motion a forced chain of events that will bring about many dark falls in the decades ahead.

 

Bib Fortuna (not not-Bib) is the last sane being in a galaxy with splitting timelines and continuities, and must defeat the Dark Falls, whose history-altering conspiracy reaches further than the Galactic Civil War and pushes beyond the fourth wall.

 

Havac wins the round amid hilariously tough competition, and I win the "demonstrate why Jello should never be given an ounce of power" contest. Moving on...

Ruins of Dantooine.

Snark for snark's sake will be disqualified. Make it funny, make it tough, but make it count.

 

The Uncle Leo of sexism wanders around Galaxies locations for generic-plot reasons, meets Galaxies NPCs for no specific reason, observes Galaxies wildlife for surprisingly logical reasons, and eventually things happen and there's a twist that no one really cares about, because this uber-bland book manages to make even Inquisitors boring.

 

Duque Mistflier and Totally-Not_Imp_Agent-Syke! go on the biggest MacGuffin hunt preceeding TOR Revan, meet nearly everyone from the original films and joins Rebels cos Imp's suck-lolz

 

The Star Wars version of Waiting for Godot.

 

I've not read Ruins of Dantooine and have often wondered what the problem is...

But you have just given me reason to NEVER go near Ruins of Dantooine.

 

I did! *shudders*.

 

A hapless spacer wanders around collecting plot points and meeting designated NPCs in a manner as much like an MMORPG newbie as can possibly be managed, while the villains succeed only in being astonishingly forgettable.

 

Jedi trial wasn't THAT bad.....comparatively, anyway.

 

DO NOT WANT

 

I think Waiting for Godot is a comic masterpiece... at least the way they play it in Dublin. But then, I also enjoyed Ruins of Dantooine. (Not on the same level, though...)


My entry:

A safari through the outskirts of the Galactic Civil War, featuring lots of scenic views, some exobotany and a healthy dose of awkward romance, plus cameos.

 

I admit I had fun when I had to write an essay about it and just royally took the existential proverbial by saying Godot was a magic Irish fairy that lived in reeds and that Vladimir and Estragon standing around a blasted tree could be seen as a parallel of the Stewards of Gondor waiting for the White Tree to grow leaves once more.

 

And I bet you Beckett would have loved it. He was quite a funny person apparently. At least when he wasn't stalking James Joyce's daughter in cattle wagons.

 

Never read it, but it sounds like Tattooine Ghost with a different set of characters.

 

Believe me, Tatooine Ghost is parsecs better!

 

To be quite honest, some of you guys are doing a fantastic job in making me want to read this book.

Congratulations/shame on you
