I can understand why you'd want to avoid treading the same ground as the series.
Looking forward to whatever you will pull out from your hat instead.
I have read the first two chapters over at YF, so I still have a little catching up to do.
But this is an INCREDIBLE series. Absolutely amazing work.....I'm reprinting my YF comments below. Things are kind of pokey over there in the PN forum, this deserves a huge audience and hundreds of comments!
This is an absolutely outstanding series. A truly impressive achievement on all fronts!
Just extraordinary work. I quite literally have no idea how you (or Julian or depressis) make these terrific computer generated images.
But this looks just marvelous. An excellent marriage between the movies and the Clone Wars series.
But it's not just the stunning visuals. This is a wonderfully-written story.
The dialogue and characterizations are just spot on. I could hear the voices of the actors in my head. You just nailed it. My favorite scene - although brief - is Dooku's. I could just hear Christopher Lee's measured, sinister tone. Loved it.
You also did a great job with showing the conflicted Anakin. A bit petulant about the council when dealing with them directly, but quick to praise and defend them to an outsider. That's the kind of nuance that the character doesn't always exhibit in other media.
Serra is a great original creation. Battle-weary, with some great cynical humor. And I'm definitely intrigued by Archon and where that story is headed. Your series does a good job in echoing the movies making the Jedi, sadly, kind of jerks. But at least it's consistent with the films! And I really can't wait to learn more about the Covenant.
The battle sequences are terrific, it's all very kinetic and exciting.
Oh, also, I LOVE the comic book style. Just a great visual look all around.
Keep up the incredible work
