in my bed since 9 pm on a saturday night, reading the tbb novel, a cup of chamomile tea and a couple of pieces of dark chocolate. I’m exactly where I want to be, leave me here.
It finally arrived!!!! I’ve listened to the audio book but I’m so excited to read-read it!!
OKAY that Star Wars Explained Sanctuary spoiler interview with Lamar Giles came out a couple days ago. You can watch here if you want. Speaking of - I haven't seen a lot of interviews posted and I've been trying to keep a close eye on it. If you have any others you know of lmk.
Highlights and thoughts below (particularly about a Tech and Phee thing) and also a thing about the "why was x included but x wasn't?" question I've seen floating around:
Excellent take 👏👏
I think you’re right on all the points you made. I was quite happy with how intentional Sanctuary felt with leavening just enough room for future content while expanding on some stuff and exploring others. I have also been enjoying the more careful approach of Star Wars/ LucasFilm to expanding lore and character arcs, I think it shows that they care about the story and not just about making money. And while I do hope that there is more Bad Batch and Phee content or content from this era of the empire in general, I do want them to take time and care to make it well done. I also would like to see more clone stories whether that’s existing clones or new ones; maybe in a Tales of the Jedi/Empire/Underworld way. They certainly left space available for more stories so who knows 🤷🏻♀️
