STAR WARS: LEGACY 19! OH MY GOD. NO REALLY. OH MY GOD.

[beccatoria]

DAMMIT I INSIST THAT ONE OF YOU STARTS READING THE STAR WARS: LEGACY COMICS IMMEDIATELY SO THAT I CAN TALK TO SOMEONE!

Really, I promise, I can send you copies of all pertinent material. And it's set 140 years after the films so you don't need to know ANYTHING except those. Though if you know more, there are loads of great easter eggs. But all pertinent info is in the opening crawl. Please? Please? I'M GOING NUTS.

Because, I swear, you know how "Luke, I am your father!" is just...it's legend? But most of us don't really remember it with that visceral shock because we ended up watching it on TV at Christmas years later when our older cousins had already wrecked it for us?

And how the few other attempts at such plot twistery inevitable, like the Revan twist, I end up knowing about before I care about?

I JUST EXPERIENCED THE HUGEST "LUKE I AM YOUR FATHER!" MOMENT SINCE "LUKE, I AM YOUR FATHER!"

I'm so not kidding. It's just. It's massive. I can't process it. It makes no sense and it's awesome and it's hollowing and it leaves me feeling bereft and awed and confused and I HAVE NO ONE TO TALK TO.

Well, okay, I have some people to talk to. But I want to talk to you!

*puts hand up*

If you want to send me comicses, I'll be more than happy to return them to you once I've read them?

I was thinking more perhaps posting digital versions? Though I know it's not the same as reading the real thing. I don't feel too guilty about getting the digital version too as I buy the single issues, but I just moved and the vast majority of my collection is in storage so I can't actually post those to you.

But if you're willing to try digital, email me at beccatoria@hotmail.com and I'll post something to you...

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

Ah, of course, the digital age. Doh. :)

I have quite a few comics in digital format that I've never gotten around to reading. I don't really enjoy the experiance of reading comics on the computer, so I had best regretfully pass. But thank you for the offer.

Coward! Think of the mad discussions we can have! I'm fairly certain there's sekrit porn in Star Wars lore!

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

The porn is not really very sekrit.

Wow, she's riding that machine...hard.

[nightxade.livejournal.com]

Hey and the art's not bad either!

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know, but I've tried reading comics on the monitor before, and I just can't click my brain into them. It just doesn't feel... right?

ive just started, erm, acquiring #00-17, so hopefully ill have a vague idea what youre on about soon...
which reminds me - i never did get round to finishing the complete transmet which i found lying around online one day...

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

Well, then you'll be able to "acquire" the rest! :D I'm so glad you're going to give it a chance! It's melodramatic in places, but really a great comic.

I will, I will, don't worry!

[hmpf.livejournal.com]

And dammit, now I'm all disappointed that that issue isn't going to be, err, available to me for a while yet... *g*

Speaking of, posted your parcel yesterday so hopefully you'll get it in the next week.

I know that there are two comics I suggested and that you'll probably take a while to get through them, but DON'T WORRY I WILL MAKE THESE LATEST ISSUES AVAILABLE TO YOU SOME-BLOODY-HOW (and I have a few ideas) even if it means immediately sending another CD over.

It's so...amazing/awful I'm not even going to spoil it. And you know me, so you know what THAT must mean.

I'm just...I'm reeling. I can't even being to really parse the implications. Because even if they utterly fail to capitalise on what they've just done they managed to genuinely and utterly surprise and shock me and it's been so long since that happened to me. And I don't think my spoiler-loving ways can be blamed for that because I first heard about this as a spoiler and had the exact same reaction. It's the SHOCK of the revelation whether on the page or spoken aloud, when you've followed this series for the previous 18 issues. Wow.

/end ramble.

I just hope you'll agree now I've built it up so much.

[i_kender]

*shrieks* TELL ME!! You''ve built it up too much now, I must know!!! *whines*

(or, you know, you can always let me know where I can find the files... I have no problems reading things online! and am a huge old school SW fan, just never got into the EU stuff. I am at mb21guru at hotmail dot com)

MWAH!

*shrieks* TELL ME!! You''ve built it up too much now, I must know!!! *whines*

*worries vaguely she's built it up too much but DOESN'T CARE BECAUSE I'M THAT FREAKED OUT!*

EMAIL WILL BE SENT!

[nightxade.livejournal.com]

Well, you know, I *would* but I just can't *stand* having in depth discussions with you about stuff that constantly requires multi-part postings because LJ can't handle our commentatingness. >.>

Translation: WHY? WHY YOU TEMPT ME SO???? I am trying soooo hard not to give in and get a subscription to the new comic store! Now you throw Further Beccatoria Discussion' at me? You are evil! And I don't mean the morally ambiguous kind! Gah!

xade at cogeco dot ca, btw

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

YES! YES TO TEMPTATION AND MULIT-PART COMMENTS!

An email of EVIL is forthcoming!
