If you don't speak German, I pity you, because you will not have access to this sharp-witted literary masterpiece.

This is the most leftist German millennial stuff I've ever posted, and I'm fine with it.

My most anticipated book of 2026, and it would stay that even if they announced more High Republic stuff or if GRRM finished The Winds of Winter.

Fuck the second coming of Christ, this is the prophet's return that I've been waiting for.

Former student sent me a really sweet message from her London trip because seeing all the sights there reminded her of our English lessons. 🥹

My biggest fear regarding the Marvel Star Wars 2026 slate is how many adaptations they'll do, so I guess I'm preparing myself.

Florian @florianjedi.bsky.social · 2d

It's really a good adaptation. Jody Houser and Will Sliney are a "goated team", as they say.
And to my earlier post, the film itself also looked great, so that was never the issue. Still, they tied the Skywalker saga together visually in the comic, and that's a good feat.

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.

Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.

No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.

Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

I'll say that the visual presentation of this comic is a lot cleverer than this garbage story deserves.

It's my German Catholic upbringing that makes me torture myself sometimes

Got both my covid and my flu shots this week. Gotta protect myself against all those coughing kids at work somehow.

Florian @florianjedi.bsky.social · 3d

One of the greatest oddities of Star Wars publishing, to me, is how the Clone Wars novelisation by Karen Traviss has never been reprinted after its hardcover run sold out (in the US, at least).

If Matthew Stover goes to the dark side, this is what he'll write.

Carl Beijer @carlbeijer.bsky.social · 4d

This is the most insane response to a normal post I've ever seen

Florian @florianjedi.bsky.social · 4d

Some episodes of Acolyte came close. But nothing has quite matched it yet.

Florian @florianjedi.bsky.social · 4d

Finished reading the ROTS novelisation. Second half definitely had more impact and worked amazingly in terms of style. My main takeaway is that I fucking love that film and yearn for Jedi-centric Star Wars to ever be that good again on-screen.

Touché 🤣
However: There's now one Master and one Shadow, so in a way... there are two

Harron Tavus? (At least I think that's him)
I guess it's the haircut... otherwise, they don't have much in common

Florian @florianjedi.bsky.social · 4d

Huh???

Florian @florianjedi.bsky.social · 5d

Anyway, back to reading. I'm slowly being converted.

Ebook cover. They didn't even try.

I'm glad Legacy of Vader abandoned that "let's do a museum tour of Anakin's life" approach to introduce Tava Ren.

Florian @florianjedi.bsky.social · 5d

If there's one thing I've especially noticed about this year's new Marvel Star Wars books, it's that several of them needed/had some sort of gimmick approach, especially Jedi Knights and Doctor Aphra, with their famous-character-of-the-month approaches. Those sometimes got in the way of the story.

Florian @florianjedi.bsky.social · 5d

The "Aphra's long lost sister" reveal is such a TNG Season 7 reveal that I'm struggling to stay interested, though, to be fair. However, the series to date has been great.

Segura Wars deserves to end up on the scrap pile of SW storytelling, but JK and LoV both had great and entertaining runs.

Fun how every Marvel series they launched this year is being cut short, apparently. (They haven't said anything, but their empty solicitations and weirdly rearranged TPB listings speak volumes.)
