What MrKlingon is reading and thinking about these days.
Novelization of the forthcoming movie. I'm pretty hopeful, matching this with the clips I've soon. Lots of action, lots of variety scenes, settings. They are filling in the spaces between the original trilogy (episodes IV-VI) and leading us on to the situation of the Evil empire. Lots of melodrama - should be an exciting film.
Okay, I'm getting interested in the new Star Wars movie - this book is a prequel to the movie and it was okay, if predictable (Foster, like Lucas loves clever alien aborigines). Nice to see Foster (Splinter of the Mind's Eye) getting a hand in on the new Star Wars material.
Next up, R.A. Salvatore's novelization of the movie. I like doing this, reading the movie before I see it (I did it with the VERY first, okay fourth, Star Wars movie.) Books are superior to movies, anyway.
And in a Star Wars linguistic vein, keep an eye on my online Galactic Phrasebook, since I've started adding Star Wars phrases. So far mostly Huttese, from TheHutts.org.
Sometimes known as MrKlingon, Joel Anderson, who, despite rumors to the contrary, is not a Klingon. He is however: * A Software Engineer who has worked in software development and the telecommunications industry for over 20 years. He still remembers the "good old days" when computing online meant dialing with a rotary phone, using his VIC 20. * A science fiction enthusiast, Joel may occasionally need to be reminded that he is a human, from Earth. * A language hobbyist who enjoys building programs that use science fiction languages, especially those found in the worlds of Star Trek and Star Wars.
