OK, I really didn’t mean to go so long between posts — but there have been large assignments to get out the door, plus relearning how to get snow off a driveway. (Someone in the weather department seems to be unconvinced that Wisconsin has enough. Believe me, it has.) I can also alert you to the solicitation for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #39, the first part of …
And, as promised, some thoughts on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #35 are online. Likely not to be the only things I ever think of — nor to answer every burning question — but there it is. A further update: This weekend is the first DaishoCon, run by the local fans of Stevens Point, Wis. I will be there on Saturday — presuming my cold does not completely …
I can’t even begin to get into how busy I am this week, but it would be impossible not to note the release of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #35, the final chapter of “Vindication”! The adventure begun in “Commencement” three years ago concludes — with surprises and fireworks and a step into a new future for our heroes. The origin story ends here! Even with the schedule …
And I am informed that The Gryph is this week’s Featured Article over on Wookieepedia. Mama Glomkettle would be proud…
I just received (from the kindly UPS man) the German version of what will be stateside the first Star Wars: Vector trade paperback: It’s actually Star Wars Sonderband #46 in Panini’s numbering system, but I would suspect it looks a bit like the final version will on this side of the drink. It’s “Vector 1: Der Muur-Talisman,” which I suspect means the subtitle of the first volume is (natch) “The …
Having brought it up in what I wrote about issue #34, I remembered my past pronunciation guide died with my old website. I’ll get something more permanent up on my StarWars.com blog, but here are a few pronunciations off the top of my head. They’re how I hear them — although, of course, note that none of these characters has appeared in an audio medium to date, so while I …
…in this line of work, the past and the future are happening at once. So I have here some thoughts about the current release, Knights of the Old Republic #34 (though I’m fairly careful, as always, consider a Spoiler Warning attached — read the comics first). And I also have the cover and page set up for Knights of the Old Republic #37, January’s issue. And, no, that’s not a …
Well, all kinds of cards are being turned over in this corner of the Star Wars timeline this week! First, of course, there’s news about Star Wars: The Old Republic, the online RPG. You can read more background on the site itself, but a factor of note to comics readers is when it says it’s set — a good while after the events of the earlier video games (and of …
Much delayed by the transfer to the new platform, but finally online — some of my thoughts on the making of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #33. Enjoy. I’m still in the process of getting something together on the KOTOR RPG Campaign Guide — and I expect the file will be amended as time goes on, as I’m still remembering things that went into it. (It was almost …
And my second Star Wars short story has gone online on StarWars.com for members of the Hyperspace fan club: “Interference.” It’s an unusual tale set during the weeks after the Mandalorian invasion of the Republic — and one that allowed me to imagine what the attendant propaganda war would be like. (Answer: one-sided!) If you’ve ever heard the recorded propaganda broadcasts of Lord Haw-Haw and Tokyo Rose, you’ll find something …
