Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But not in the fun way!

We have no evidence that it wasn't fun, do we? They certainly looked happy going in.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Yeah, I think Jasmine's worshippers would take issue with the "not in a fun way." If there were still capable, of course.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

For anyone who didn't read the infocusmag article because of ... well, whyever you didn't read it:

Had you been given the reins of “Jedi,” where would you have driven it? Would you have given Captain Solo more to do? Would Leia not turn out to be Luke’s sister? Would the “another” Yoda spoke of late in “The Empire Strikes Back” turn out to be not-Leia?

Everything you said was right on the money. The Millennium Falcon would not be piloted in the climactic scene by Lando Calrissian and a frog. It would have been Han, getting it done. The “other” to whom Yoda referred would of course have been a young, female badass Jedi, because where else would I go with that? It would have not been revealed in the first five minutes that Darth Vader was going to be redeemed. And, yeah, there would have been a little less incest.

Well, I'm not sure about his last point, but it sure seems interesting.

Art Crawl!!!

We've mentioned that Serenity #2 is coming out tomorrow, right?

(I know I mentioned it over in the Jossverse in other Media thread. . . but not so much over here.)

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Well, I'm not sure about his last point, but it sure seems interesting.

The incest?

I may have to seize the cat.

Those Dark Horse folks don't waste any time, do they? Yay to that - I can make one trip to the store to get 2 Serenitys and an Astonishing. Next week. When my new bank card arrives (grumble).

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I keep waiting to totally agree with her. Hasn't happened yet.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That's because you have no magic in your heart.

I remeber the first time I got to do it. It was super fun.
