It's a fanboy thing that probably started with Oola, Jabba's dancer. Lots of guys seem to have a thing for her! But this sex appeal clearly only applies to the female Twi'lek, because I doubt any of us fan girls are lusting over Bib Fortuna....ewww! <br /><br />A human/Twi'lek pairing would probably work, they are at least humanoid in appearance. But anything with fur is wrong on so many levels!claire1976https://www.blogger.com/profile/04285049568087268653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-40088741430794024042012-02-07T22:46:18.200-06:002012-02-07T22:46:18.200-06:00My google word was zingaling!

I was bored to death waiting for someone to say ANYTHING yesterday!!<br /><br />I know I've read a recurring mention on theforce.net boards that apparently someone from Rogue Squadron had sex with.... an otter. Or something very otter-like. I gave chosen not to investigate this matter further, but I've read it mentioned enough to believe it to be true. Am I closed-minded to think that they'd probably want to at least only have sex with others that are human-ISH at least? I mean, obviously on Earth humans are the only ones who speak, but in general, having sex with other species is generally frowned upon. <br /><br />You're right about Han and Leia just being married and happy and there's not really anything to say about their relationship. It's not an interesting plot point and there's no tension once they're together. It's like on those TV shows where there is lots of sexual tension between two characters and almost without exception the show gets boring once they finally get together. I guess we can say that breaking them up on NJO at least gave us some interesting stuff in their relationship to talk about!Zyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04860113813294303312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-35734535277282077122012-02-07T17:54:38.497-06:002012-02-07T17:54:38.497-06:00good point, claire; there is some interspecies rom...good point, claire; there is some interspecies romance in the X Wing books. It isn't so blatent, I think, because there are SO many aliens floating around Rogue Squadron that I had to keep flipping to the front of the book to see who is what species. so I don't necessarily think, this guy's furry or whatever.jzhanfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07376308728767558575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-12607377043145233462012-02-07T17:51:19.536-06:002012-02-07T17:51:19.536-06:00I had the same problem yesterday claire!I had the same problem yesterday claire!jzhanfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07376308728767558575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-36503750112746710162012-02-07T12:13:11.416-06:002012-02-07T12:13:11.416-06:00Yes, this book is deserving of it's 4 stars I ...Yes, this book is deserving of it's 4 stars I think, cos it's got so much cuteness!<br /><br />On the subject of interspecies romance- wasn't there some alien/human loving going on in the X wing books? I have never read them but think I read about one of the pilots getting it on with some furry alien that looked like an Otter! Don't know anymore than that, but it certainly sounds weird. <br /><br />Jzhanfan, I can see what you're saying regarding the authors not really having a clue what to do with Han and Leia as they are already in an established relationship. That' s true, but it would be nice just to write them as a COUPLE once in a while instead of being on the opposite side of the galaxy to each other. And yes, the sexual tension is long gone, but there's still plenty of room for some good old bantering, which sadly very few authors seem to "get". <br /><br />I like this weeks poll, even though I am torn between two of them, it's so hard to pick!!claire1976https://www.blogger.com/profile/04285049568087268653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-89537542991777786772012-02-07T12:02:19.470-06:002012-02-07T12:02:19.470-06:00Gross!!!

Excellent r...Sorry I didn't get to post sooner. Excellent review as always. We've been knee deep in studying Homer's Iliad and Odyssey for my daughter's high-school Literature studies. Can I just say, Helen of Troy, really? I just can't handle weak minded, fickle female characters (at least that is how I interpreted it). It's so funny in our literature course-work, how often Star Wars (original trilogy) is referenced in comparing Greek Mythology archtypes. In one video we watched, they specifically show Han Solo as both a "trickster and a Hero" I just smiled. Luke was only mentioned as a Hero. Anyways, I remember reading Dark Apprentice when it first came out and being upset about the whole skiing without Leia thing. However, as I am re-reading these books again, I am going to just focus on the good parts, because their are many. Love the "Little lost Bantha Cub" part. Reminds me of when my husband would make up "pet-stories" when our girls were little. Sorry for the late posting. Great job with the review.Seams2Behttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743144026790154782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-79446866676474283152012-02-07T07:23:04.326-06:002012-02-07T07:23:04.326-06:00Lol, jz.

That's true, but sometimes it doesn't hurt to try and write them AS a couple instead of having them on opposite sides of the galaxy most of the time. Yes, the sexual tension is long gone, but there's certainly still room for lots of good natured bantering, which only a few writers seem to get.<br /><br />Love this weeks poll by the way...its a tough choice.claire1976https://www.blogger.com/profile/04285049568087268653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-68443383492985111092012-02-07T06:34:33.155-06:002012-02-07T06:34:33.155-06:00also this background pic creeps me out. it's l...also this background pic creeps me out. it's like Goth Leia. sorry :-(jzhanfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07376308728767558575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-89361667587240121292012-02-07T06:33:50.934-06:002012-02-07T06:33:50.934-06:00Skimming some other Kevin Anderson entries in the ...Skimming some other Kevin Anderson entries in the EU I have decided he is the king of interspecies dating. <br /><br />it annoys me to no end that Han got to have all this fun stuff with teenage Kyp and his own kid turns out to be a total jerk. but I like the bits when the kids are little and Han and Leia have parent moments with them. it's cute. <br /><br />I have also decided that the problem many EU writers have with Han and Leia is that they are already a couple and their romance serves no plot purpose. whereas you can introduce new girls and have the guys fall for them and things develop. I think maybe they just don't know what to do with Han and Leia since there's no "romantic tension" any more. guess they don't understand that two strong people don't stop arguing just bcs they get together!jzhanfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07376308728767558575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-24183176300541724922012-02-07T06:14:20.904-06:002012-02-07T06:14:20.904-06:00I was wondering the same thing.

I'm sure we would, but it wouldn't have much appeal to fans in general.<br /><br />So in that respect, the kisses in the EU are pretty much realistic to the setting of the story.claire1976https://www.blogger.com/profile/04285049568087268653noreply@blogger.com
