Books STAR WARS: A NEW DAWN (September 2014)

Pfft. When I do get ARCs they're digital--I don't rate highly enough for hard copies of stuff yet. And I don't have a network of cronies to ship me stuff like Jello.

 

And so the raids in the middle of the night begin...

Only not by the Mouse to snatch away all of your EU, but by the EU to snatch away your NEU.

 

Though in a way, you're my crony. So I still win.

 

...like all the giant disturbing crowds filled with cosplayers who remind me why I'm glad that I live too far away from these things to naively talk myself into going?

 

There's always a bigger fish

 

Hey! I've seen Fanboys, I know what I'm talking about!

 

I was supposed to be, had tickets and everything...

Then BAM. 1200$ car repairs.

Next time. It was amazing last year, and I'm sure I'll have more relevant questions when we're getting close to ep 7 and coming up on Rebels second season.

Still, I look forward to seeing just how JJM handles the "new" continuity. I have faith that they'll preserve what makes sense to preserve and leave other elements up to our imagination.

 

Darth Life, please stop.

HEDGESMFG , I can see JJM being one of the few current authors just going with the flow and taking over the new continuity. He'll make sure no one is OOC.

 

*sigh*

You've just introduced a brain bug that's going to annoy me here at work until I remember what the industry term for that paperback size is.

Honestly, with MMPB and those prestige paperbacks being only a few dollars less I think the industry should just switch to TPB format because that weird higher and thinner format suuuucks...(imo).

 

Hey Jello, I found that ARC your friend was supposed to be sending you.

 

Well, there's another listing for half that.

Edit: Tho I see the one at $70 atm actually began at just $2, and just has had a ton of bids.

 

They just had to put that "exclusive advanced reader's edition" tag on the book, right?. Nothing bad would come out of that xD

 

Every time someone says "advanced reader's edition" I picture the regular book but with, like, much longer words.

 

And THAC0.

 

But then they would have needed to change the title on the front cover too.

SPACE BATTLES: A FRESH START.

 

Celestial Conflicts: A Singular Au Courant Aurora

 

Blame thesaurus.com.

 

Well as long as we're nitpicking, the premise of my joke was simply "the most abstruse version of the title possible", which doesn't require it to be a perfect translation--and in fact, is bolstered if it isn't, so there.
