The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

Trends, but not references or homages. Those don't seem overt enough for Lucas. His references are pretty obvious and blunt. Those are too small and subtle for his caliber.

Perhaps they were unconscious homages.

Maybe he wrote them in his sleep.

That would be commensurate with your critique of ROTS and the other prequels, would it not?

No if he wrote them in his sleep there'd probably be more creativity and subtlety involved. Maybe he should have directed them in his sleep too. No, Big G was wide awake with an Xtra Large Mocha in his hand for most of it.

Now I'm wondering what was in his other hand. mmm

Anyway, having read Dark Empire again while listening to the ROTS audiobook, I find myself enjoying it far more than before.

I could never get through Dark Empire. The Han subplot really through me off and the artwork sucks all the balls.

Han's detour to Nar Shadda wasn't highlight, no, but the artwork has actually grown on me somewhat. I think it was a deliberate stylistic choice to convey the dark and sinister tone. I wouldn't want to see it replicated, but it does its job well.

Right now, I'd give it a C+.

There was a Han subplot?

He went to Nar Shadaa at some point and a girlfriend, or something? It was stupid and boring.

I though Leia was his girlfriend. They made the babies together.

I said 'or something'.

Ex-girlfriend, in order to leverage safe passage to the Deep Core, specifically Byss.

Your one sentence synopsis was infinitely more entertaining than the entire relevant comic.

You have mad skillz.

My powers are great and without peer.

Awkward silence.

God, these forums are addicting.

I'm watching Higurashi atm. Soooo damn spooky! Expect a reply in like, an hour.

Dam straight. I just watched a dude beat his two best friends to death with a baseball bat before clawing his own throat out. So kawaii!

All of my homeworks are supes interesting.
