Re: unpopular opinion time! (maybe!)
on 2011-10-07 09:00 pm (UTC)Oh, thanks about the story! I didn't know if you'd read it, so yeah. I too love those kinds of stories (you can probably guess that I think the ghost thing is waaaay under-used from Revenge, ha) -- and really, there is no way someone like Anakin is going to be distant and uninvolved when even Obi-Wan hung around and meddled. And I sort of imagine that he feels the need for ... penance, of a sort, that dying didn't wipe the slate clean. So he's constantly trying to make up for what he did as Vader (ghost!Leia: Father, it's fine now, we're over it. THAT HAPPENED TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO.)
will in fact admit cheerfully that the OT are better movies, it's just that I like the PT more for the most part. :)
Then clearly we can get along. :) Even I like bits of the PT that I think are objectively bad, just for the shiny!!! element. (And the shiny makes it fun to dislike them, too; there's stuff you hate, and then there's stuff that's actively fun to hate. IDK.)
Splinter = Splinter of the Mind's Eye, first EU book ever. It's got ridiculous purple prose, lolarious Luke/Leia subtext (and possibly Vader/Leia if you squint), is generally awful, with the occasional good line and some interesting character stuff.
Revenge forced me to think about the retcons a lot obviously, but yeah, it's a bit odd to try and balance the meta-understanding of what happened with the in-story reasoning.
