I think I might simply make a list of new material that has come out after I've dealt with an era, and comment on it, in chronological order, after I've completed the project in its entirety.<br /><br />As for the Lost Tribe of the Sith series, I knew a third part was coming, so I made a post after I commented on the second part, and reserved a spot for it. So in cases where I know a second or third part is eventually going to be produced, I'm going to reserve a spot, but for material which I can't really save a spot for, I'm going to deal with it at the end.<br /><br />This project, I’ve realized, is going to be an ongoing one, without an end in sight, which is cool by me. I’m the type of person that’s always needed a hobby or project to work on.MKBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185603415301036071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138626138333949773.post-59956147103056407892009-11-03T13:34:17.865-08:002009-11-03T13:34:17.865-08:00I'm tempted to just chalk that up to bad writi...I'm tempted to just chalk that up to bad writing by the Galaxies team. It's fun to find these obscure short stories that add little bits to the wider Star Wars universe, but to be honest, they aren't very well written (unlike short stories in WEG sourcebooks).<br />On another note, do you know how you will handle in your project new material that is set at times you have already moved past, like the upcoming Nomi Sunrider novel or further "Lost Tribe of the Sith" ebooks?Plaristesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138626138333949773.post-18252500201198451732009-11-03T12:20:00.927-08:002009-11-03T12:20:00.927-08:00The stories were interesting indeed.

I don't remember there being a Jedi temple, so it was interesting to learn that the Jedi once used to train there.<br /><br />It also gives a little more weight to the fact that Mustafar was the final battle ground between Anakin and Obi-Wan, and the place where Emperor Palpatine took the kidnapped force sensitive children in episode 3 of the second season of the Clone Wars. I get the feeling that there is a lot about Mustafar that remains uncharted.<br /><br />As for dealing with this material and how it fits into the SWCP, I think I might just engage with it in our conversations after posts, like this one. The stories were interesting, but what was the deal with the repeated mention of the "Physical Force"? I think this term has come up in Star Wars cannon before, (though I'm not entirely sure where) and it never sat well with me, because if there is a "Physical Force, it also implies there is an "Emotional Force", a "Spiritual Force", an "Intellectual Force", and so on. Why can't The Force, just be "The Force?MKBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185603415301036071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138626138333949773.post-27854815122328608522009-11-02T07:54:46.315-08:002009-11-02T07:54:46.315-08:00I thought you might be interested in this.

I forwarded all of these to Joe so he can add them to his timeline. Of interest for your project is that one of them is partially set before the Tales of the Jedi comics. "Lost Treasure" is the title of the short story (found at http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/players/content.vm?page=Lost%20Treasure&resource=features), and the first part is set on Mustafar before it became a volcanic world. According to wookieepedia, that happened in 3996 BBY, so the story must happen sometime before then.Plaristesnoreply@blogger.com
