So, I took this image created by Anne Wu from the Star Wars junior novel "Pirate's Price," and this art from "Stories of Light and Dark: Bane's Story," which has no credited artist, and combined them into one image. Both artworks belong to Disney / LucasFilm and are not fan created works, however this is my edit.
I thought the styles were similar and that they would look good together. To me it appears like Hondo Ohnaka is running from Cad Bane, whereas he's after the bounty on his head. :D I still honestly think this would make an amazing tattoo. I may even treat myself one day.

this is not nearly gay enough for a retelling of Bounty

listening to the audiobook of stories of light and dark* and the writing on "dooku captured" is soooooo bad, sorry not sorry lou anders, but corey burton is really putting everything into the performance
it sounds like dooku is, like, narrating a penthouse letter or is the protagonist of my immortal** or something, with the weird details of ship and droid models and the self-aggrandizement and comments on the prowess of his lineage?? i can't stop laughing

Book Review: Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Stories of Light and Dark

I will NEVER get over the fact that I can write stories. Like I can weave threads of whimsy in a whole new world and make people feel things if I weave them well enough???? Stories are worth so much!!! Lines of poetry are literally currency to me like I get to write little lines and then writing little lines helps me notice things when I read other peoples' lines????? Magic! Whimsy! Characters! Words! Words! Words!

i had no expectations whatsoever for "bug" and it was gripping and thrilling and might actually be my favorite of this collection? good fucking job, e. anne convery and good fucking job, catherine taber
highlights: "bug," obviously, as well as "kenobi's shadow," "dark vengeance," "dooku captured," "pursuit of peace" (which has pacing problems but makes up for it with padmé characterization)
"the lost nightsister" and "almost a jedi" are good but not as exceptional as i found the above. yoda's vision at the end of "sharing the same face" was very compelling and left me shaken, but the rest of the story was only serviceable -- it tries hard but is not super interesting or insightful in its portrayal of yoda, the clones, or the force. "bane's story" is well-done, i guess, but i don't like the hardeen arc (it feels... juvenile and contrived, as i think i've complained before) and i'm not interested in bane's pov thereof, plus the processing on bane's voice is too much for 40 entire minutes and i think bane also wasn't quite well-established enough character-wise for both angleberger and burton to convincingly maintain his "voice" for that long.
lowlights: "the shadow of umbara" and "hostage crisis," which don't really bring anything new to the table, they're just a pretty direct retelling of the events. now, i don't give a shit about the episode "hostage crisis," either, beyond how annoyed it makes me about the anakin/padmé relationship, but this is especially disappointing for the umbara arc, which is easily one of the best stories tcw told and which rips my heart out of my chest and stomps on it just to think about it -- and i didn't get any of that here. it's rushed, for sure, forced to condense four emotionally intense episodes into one short story, but rex's pov of umbara (or anyone's pov of umbara tbh; fives or dogma would be equally interesting to read) should be devastating and it just... doesn't get there.
overall this collection was a fun listen and one that was well worth joining an additional library for (i mean, beyond all the inherent benefits of library membership). i don't completely agree with all the characterizations presented, but that's also true of fanfiction and hasn't stopped me reading yet. i wonder if the jarringly-specific namedropping of vehicles and weapons were some kind of requirement for merchandising? it threw me out of the stories every single time it happened, although i think it enhanced the dooku story in the end, if not any of the others. would i listen to it again? maybe one or two of the better stories but certainly not most of them. maybe "dark vengeance" again before i return it there's just Something about witwer's maul voice
