And the revelation is startling, because I am fond of a fanfic novel BASED on the premise that the #C3PO of #StarWars #ANewHope was not the one in #EmpireStrikesBack : The Changeling: fanfiction.net/s/7380690/1/Th… (Starts slow, but it all becomes important in the second half.)

The character is #C3PO : Star Wars Fans Think This Beloved Character Ruined The Empire Strikes Back - Looper - goo.gl/alerts/vmbqc #GoogleAlerts



I had forgotten just how beautiful the opening bars of #StarWars Main Theme is, when it isn't rushed or caricatured. And I had almost forgotten about the Star Wars Radio Dramas, so I'm glad someone is pointing them out.


Shades of the delightful play, /A Sensation Novel/, by W. S. Gilbert (gsarchive.net/gilbert/plays/… ). It's grand to see who the characters are OUTSIDE the novel (or movie, in this case).
