Adaptation Black Sails Review I know I am a decade behind the times when it comes to Black Sails, a four-season Starz show that premiered in 2014, but I think it resonated with me even more strongly today than it would have then, and I have some thoughts I simply need to get out
Canon The Lightsaber of Baylan Skoll It is where Baylan and Shin reject the formulation of the Star Wars narrative, not Jedi, but not Sith either, that I find most compelling for future narratives. It all begins, as many Jedi tales do, with the lightsabers carried by both characters.
Adaptation Temptation of the Force by Tessa Gratton What does it mean to love? When the Jedi say throughout the franchise that they are to eschew attachments, it is possession of the romantic variety which is shown to be problematic, as much about secrecy and dishonesty as the act of marriage.
Adaptation Knights of the Jedi Order What I love most about this era is the dedication to love itself. Like the courtly romances of the medieval period, the idea of love is explored as it relates to the Jedi (Knights) and what it means to their vows (oaths). The Jedi of the High Republic are, quintessentially, Arthurian knights.
Adaptation A Love Letter to Star Wars: The Acolyte The Acolyte is at once old and new, reaching inside and outside of timelines within the Star Wars narrative and within the primary "real" world of the audience. I love it.
