The Creation Which Got Away From the Creator

April 30, 2016 by faintingviolet 2 Comments

Listen, this is a very good book. It just wasn’t the droid I was looking for. Well, more accurately it was the droid I was looking for, but he brought along his annoying protocol droid buddy who bothered me with information about himself (wow, I think I just made a reference that equates a book about George Lucas to C-3PO… I am such a nerd). After reading the great reviews of this book by emmalita and narfna, I quickly added it to my library waitlist. […]

Listen up, nerds. This book is for you. I had never heard of it until I read the lovely Emmalita’s review, and now I am eternally grateful to her. I absolutely devoured this book. It’s one of the most thorough and interesting behind the scenes books I’ve ever read.

[…]

Well. That Explains A Lot.

The original Star Wars trilogy is one of the cornerstones of my cultural foundation. Despite this, I never read any of the Star Wars books, nor did I have a single Star Wars toy (hippie parents, what are you gonna do?). Though I never partook in the merchandise or extended universe, Star Wars was near and dear to my heart. I was so excited when the prequels were announced and saw Phantom Menace opening weekend. I hated it. I also hated the revisions that Lucas […]
