Leverage, with starfighters, IN SPAAAAACE!!!!

[tielan]

From a post over in JF's Fandom Lounge: Disney nixes Thrawn Trilogy.

But what would be awesome as a TV series? The X-Wing Wraith Squadron book series!

Wedge Antilles! Kettch! Face Loran and Ton Phanan and their snark and wit! Lara/Gara/Kirney and her issues with a capital Ish! Shalla and her dimples (ps. Shalla's Dad is SO PLAYED BY SAMUEL L JACKSON BECAUSE HE JUST IS)! Piggy and his maths! Kel and Tyria and Runt and Dia and oh so many others! DONOS. MYN DONOS.

Someone even suggested the pitch for it: "Leverage, in Starfighters". *sporfles*

The idea of an X-Wing film or TV show fills me with more glee than could ever be imagined.

Doesn't it just? Hijinks! Snark! Romance! Action! Plot of the week! Overarching arc!

:D

"Remember what a wise man told me; you can't look serious when you're having fun."

(I think that's the quote: I'm a bit fuzzy on quotes.)

Me and hubby regularly have the "have you looked in your boot? how about the other boot?" conversation when we lose something :)

God, I love those guys so damn much.

"Pirates."
"Is that a new kind of Gamorrean greeting, Piggy? Filthy pirates to you!"
"And scabrous pirates to you!"
(heavily paraphrased)

I had the pleasure of attending a workshop with Aaron Allston and Michael A Stackpole at DragonCon 2009! They were great.

Interestingly, while I prefer the Wraith Squadron series to Rogue Squadron, I preferred Stackpole's presentation and advice over Allston, who I found a little scattered.

I think I attended one other panel at that convention - I was too focused on the workshop. (And it was a really great workshop!)

My most treasured posession (book wise, at least) is my copy of I, Jedi which a friend got Michael Stackpole to sign for me. But he signed it from Corran ♥

Trufax: Had my daughter been born a boy, her middle name was going to be Corran. As it is, her first name is Mara :)

At least 'Mara' doesn't require justification the way, say, 'Leia' does...

Oh, my, God, you are so right!
