I keep seeing ads for A.I. script coverage and I again remind you that these programs do not ACTUALLY read your script.
They recognize what your script is about and then in a predictive text sort of way, synthasize what actual coverage says about scripts with those elements.

This thread says things I wish more fans could internalize about tie-in material. It’s never “canon,” no matter how it’s branded. It’s always canon up to the point of contradiction, and the creators try to minimize that by playing in areas not likely to be addressed by the main franchise
I think a thing that people intrinsically know about multimedia IP though it’s not said is if it ends up in a book it’s because there were no plans to put it on-screen. In the days when Star Wars really only had one filmmaker behind it, that’s what was behind a lot of publishing…

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:
“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”
