I'm in the editing cave for HERE AND NOW AND THEN, but I did manage to squeeze in one new piece for a geek site. This time, it's my debut for Tor's awesome blog. That got me to thinking about how much I've written about the Galaxy Far Far Away and I thought it made sense to collect it all so far in one place:
- What Star Wars Learned from Literary Fiction (Tor): A look at the unexpected genre that fits The Last Jedi.
- Is Canon As Important As We Think It Is? (The Portalist): An in-depth examination about canon in the face of Star Wars resetting the EU but bringing Grand Admiral Thrawn into canon.
- In Defense of the Star Wars Prequels (The Mary Sue): One of my most consistently popular pieces, this one's pretty self-explanatory.
- How Ahsoka Tano Completed the Arc of Anakin Skywalker (The Mary Sue): Ahsoka from The Clone Wars/Rebels is one of my favorite characters, and her journey was the ultimate retcon, in a good way.
- On May the 4th, Let's Remember Why Fans of All Factions Love Star Wars (The Mary Sue): A come-together piece about that tries to bridge the divide between the many factions in the Star Wars community.
- The Force Awakens -- One Month Later (The Mary Sue): One month after viewing Episode 7, I took a look at what worked and didn't work once nostalgia wore off.
