Dreamwars: A Star Wars fandom chat community

Hi,

welcome to the weekly chat corner. Have anything SW-related to talk about? Here's your chance!

~ ~ ~

I've been thinking about Star Wars fanfic today, or writing thereof. I have a lot of WIPs (oh gods, so many), but I do like it when I get more than two people and a shoelace to read my fic and I realized... what do The Kids even read, these days?

So I went and looked. (On AO3, where else.)

...um. This got a bit more involved than an interesting bit of stats I wanted to entertain you with. Enjoy, I guess!

Hi!

This is a free-for-all chat corner. Anything SW-related is fair game.

Have fun!

Have fun!

EDIT: Surprise! Your inattentive ass of a mod has finally noticed a Dreamwidth bug/feature is eating her posts! *facepalm* As it turns out, if you try to make a post that has the same title and content as a previous one, DW thinks it's the same post, and will just... not create a new post when you click "publish".

Anti-spam feature, maybe?

Anyway, sorry about that! Feel free to laugh on my account.

Hi everyone,

sorry for the month of radio silence. I had an accident riding my scooter (the Vespa kind, not the "two wheels and a stick" kind) and broke my collar bone. Oops.

Modern medicine is a beautiful thing so I'm not stuck in a cast, but it's still been An Experience and I didn't really have enough spare spoons to keep up with the comm.

BUT, I'm definitely fine enough by now to copy-paste a post into DW, so I'm going to start making at least free-for-all chat corner posts every Monday again. We're not dead yet! Come and share your SW thoughts/feels if you have any :)

Hi!

The topic for this week is "The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown", a tie-in young-adult novel for the show Acolyte that focuses on two of the side-characters, padawans Jecki and Yord. It came out in July of this year.

Have any of you read it - and would you recommend it? Are you interested - and why?

(Feel free to discuss the Acolyte show as well; we've already talked about it before, but maybe you have some new thoughts?)

Hi!

This is the 200th themed chat corner of this community!!!

(...unless I miscalculated somewhere, which, lets be real, has a high possibility. Erm.)

I'm looking at the post I made for the 100th chat corner, and something that I wrote there: "That’s a number with about two more places than what I’d assumed this thing would survive when I started." I don't know how about you, but I'm pretty impressed that we're still here!

Now, it might be because this thing has gotten buried too deep under my skin, and I'll be here for the next decade, whether anyone comes and talks or not...

BUT, you do come! And you do talk! Thank you all for that, and I hope it's fun, or enriching, or maybe just rewarding in some way. :)

No prompt this week, but I'd love to know if there is some discussion, or comment, or a Dreamwars-related moment that stayed with you as a good memory. Or perhaps, something you'd like to experience here, realistic or not. I'm curious!

Hi!

This week, our topic is "relationships". Familial, platonic, romantic, sexual, or maybe something unknowable in-between? Do you have a specific relationship you keep coming back to? A specific type of relationship that you love to read or write - or perhaps one that you never see in SW and would love to?

Or, here, lets have a few silly AU prompts!

1. Who is whose long-lost sibling?
2. Who ends up being neighbors with whom?
3. Who is whose not-so-amicably-divorced ex?
4. Who is whose secret booty call?
5. Who discovers they're members of the same polycule - and through whom?

Hi!

Is it the time again? We're back in the (chronological) beginning, and our topic for this week is Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

How are we feeling about this one? If you've been here for the previous post, have you changed your mind in any way? Or, you haven't thought about the movie at all?

As I see it, TPM is at its core a movie for children. So, I'm curious: if you wanted to introduce a child to the Star Wars universe (your kid, a cousin, a nibling), which piece would you start with? One of the movies, a show, something different?

Hi!

it's Legends week again, and our discussion topic is the novel https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Dawn_of_the_Jedi:_Into_the_Void, a 2013 release that explores the Jedi Order before it became the Jedi Order.

(You might have seen "Je'daii" mentioned in fanfic, this book and the Dawn of the Jedi comic series is where that's from.)

Have you read it, and would you recommend it? If you haven't, are you interested?

In case you don't have anything to say about it: are you interested in the ancient past of the Star Wars universe, or is that something you don't care about? If you could choose the era where the next SW movie will be set, what would you chose, and why?

Hi!

this week I'm again fishing through the timeline of canon media, and I bring you Grogu, Cutest in the Galaxy, which is... a series of animations published on Instagram??

Huh. I see the grand tradition of Star Wars being Everywhere(TM) is going strong.

Has anyone of you seen this? Do you follow any official SW social media? Do you follow any official SW sources in general? Or maybe, how do you come upon SW news, like new media being announced (or cancelled), actors being cast, and so on?
