Niima Outpost: May 2016
http://niimaoutpost.blogspot.com/2016_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 13, 2016. If, unlike Pete the Retailer, you like fantasy books, my novel The Last Tragedy. Is free from May 14 to 18! Friday, May 6, 2016. It's Not a Story the Jedi Would Have Told You. So not too long ago, someone on Star Wars Minute Listeners Society Facebook page wondered if Pete and Alex might be the first people to finally unravel the "labyrinthine" plot of Attack of the Clones, once SWM gets to AOTC in the fall. Thus, we begin Episode II after ten years of Dooku consolidating his power ...

Niima Outpost: June 2007
http://niimaoutpost.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 30, 2007. This Bickering Is Pointless. Apparently, the "Star Wars on Trial" publisher wasn't up for maintaining the forum linked to below; I went back to see if anyone was still posting there, and it's offline. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'm an author of fantasy novels. I have five really good ones under my belt, and various other old ones that either still need work or will never see the light of day. View my complete profile. Other Stuff of Mine. This Bickering Is Pointless.

Niima Outpost: Help Me, Obi-Wan Kenobi ...
http://niimaoutpost.blogspot.com/2016/04/help-me-obi-wan-kenobi.html
Friday, April 29, 2016. Help Me, Obi-Wan Kenobi . When discussion in the Star Wars Minute. Listener's Society Facebook group. Turned to definining moments in the Star Wars saga, it reminded me that prior to the release of The Force Awakens, I had mulled over what it would take for Episode VII to knock it out of the park. So how did the movie do, on those grounds? Is there such a pivotal, captivating, transportive moment? I'll come back for you. It'll be all right! The droid . stole a freighter.". You're ...

Niima Outpost: From a Certain Point of View
http://niimaoutpost.blogspot.com/2016/06/from-certain-point-of-view.html
Sunday, June 5, 2016. From a Certain Point of View. I recently ran across this article. Purporting to describe all the ways the prequel trilogy "forgot" about the version of Anakin Skywalker established in the original movies. The author's contention is that the OT films lay out certain concrete story elements related to Luke and Leia's father, and that by ignoring those elements, the prequels gave us a less interesting story. Abrams would have been crucified, right? And if we flip it on its head, how wo...

Niima Outpost: A Bit of an Acquired Taste
http://niimaoutpost.blogspot.com/2016/11/a-bit-of-acquired-taste.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2016. A Bit of an Acquired Taste. Maybe this will clarify things about prequel "apologists" or maybe it will just get me more derision, but here are a couple of stories that I think bear light on the subject. Not long out of college, I read a couple of books by Gene Wolfe: Soldier of the Mist. And Soldier of Arete. The first one amazed. Was just as good as SotM. Also not long after college, I re-read The Lord of the Rings. In retrospect, I'm positive the Soldier of Arete. I'm not ...

Niima Outpost: He Has Too Much of His Father in Him
http://niimaoutpost.blogspot.com/2016/08/he-has-too-much-of-his-father-in-him.html
Tuesday, August 23, 2016. He Has Too Much of His Father in Him. Recently, I've seen people complaining variously that The Force Awakens wasn't true to the Star Wars "feel" because some scenes were too much like Guardians of the Galaxy or too much like Firefly. Am I the only one who thought Guardians of the Galaxy and Firefly were the way they were because they were trying to be like Star Wars? James Gunn explicitly said as much in interviews about Guardians of the Galaxy, even. View my complete profile.

Friday, May 6, 2016. It's Not a Story the Jedi Would Have Told You. So not too long ago, someone on Star Wars Minute Listeners Society Facebook page wondered if Pete and Alex might be the first people to finally unravel the "labyrinthine" plot of Attack of the Clones, once SWM gets to AOTC in the fall. Of course, the answer is, "No," because the plot of Episode 2 is actually fully comprehensible if you just do a little literary interpretation. Thus, we begin Episode II after ten years of Dooku consolidat...
