beccatoriaDAMMIT 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!
