OT Jr Novels - 05.04.2017 - Ryder Windham - ePub
Time

Leia heard the sounds of generators powering up, but kept her stunned eyes on the viewscreen. Even from space, Alderaan was lushly beautiful, its grassy plains making the world resemble an emerald amidst the stars. Before Leia became a Senator, she had spent most of her youth on the green world. She knew its geography so well that she could - from her perspective on the Death Star - pinpoint the capital, Aldera, where she’d grown up … where her father still lived.
After the battle of Scarif, in which the plans for the Death Star had been stolen, Bail Organa had returned home to tell his people that war was coming … but his warning would come too late.
She wondered what time it was, if he was in their home right now.
Father, I’m so sorry.

This is crazy.

Lando’s not a system. He’s a man. Lando Calrissian. He’s a card player, gambler, scoundrel. You’d like him.

“The book is a reprint of the Star Wars Legends novel Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (junior novelization), which was written by Ryder Windham, edited by Egmont editor Emil Fortune to make the book fit with the current new canon.”

That’s wild and also insane. What would they have to change of junior novelizations of the OT to make them canon? Without any further explanation, I wouldn’t trust Wookieepedia on this.

I think you’re talking about the same thing, but with different cover images. The “new” ones aren’t “official” canon either, they were reprinted with different covers, so they may have just not bothered updating the digital versions.

Makes sense to me. More sense than the same guy rewriting his junior novelizations 13 years later.

These were the thoughts I was left with from the other night, after we watched an interminably long preview sequence before the movie started. The only one I can remember was the preview for Thor: Ragnarok. Honestly, it looked like one of the worst pieces of shit I have ever seen put on a movie screen. But it’s not a singular failure that deserves to be singled out and mocked or derided. The movie looks like literally every action or adventure flick that is put in theaters these days.

I know, all these goddamn movies with their goddamn Valkyries flying out of a wormhole towards Cate Blanchett playing the Goddess of Death.

Say what you will about Marvel movies*, but Ragnarok is at least visually interesting.

*actually, don’t

Yes, R2?

That’s all right. I’d like to keep it on manual control for a while.

(Untranslated beeps)

Was that creative license or did you have a source? Because I always thought R2 was saying something like ‘it’ll take me some time to calculate the jump to light speed’, like Dagobah is really out of the way, and R2 isn’t really prepared for such a journey. Then Luke’s reply is like he doesn’t mind the wait. Otherwise how do you ‘manually control’ a hyperspace route? Doesn’t really fit with what we know about Star Wars space travel.

Even so ‘would you like me to take over control?’ is kind of a clumsy sentence, mate!

The source is the Aurebesh on the screen. All of the letters have a direct English translation.

The original version is “gibberish”, Adywan wrote the “dialog” for ESBR.

There is that added shot of the ladies pausing to hear the voice of Lando. It could be redressed so that troopers are pulling guns on them followed by blaster fire but that would a suggestion and we don’t do those any more 😄

I’m almost done building the set out of cardboard, now I need to start building the additional stormtrooper costumes, also out of cardboard.

Here’s the one I already made:
