Niki...Niki...try to stay awake during this post.

Yesterday, I was at Barnes & Noble not looking for anything Star Wars related (I swear). I found the book I was looking for and then took a turn around the kids' section, as I am an avid reader of novels for young readers (my maturity level, I'm sure). New Artemis Fowl, not out yet...new Inheritance, not out yet, new Star Wars post-EpIII series not out ye...wha? There it sat, on the shelf, more than a full month early, the first book of "The Last of the Jedi" series. It wasn't a choice, I had to get it. All about Obi-Wan in his post-Anakin angsty goodness. I was a little concerned...would there be potentially massive EpIII spoilers? But, I had to read it, and of course, read it in one sitting this morning. Only two spoilery items, but nothing that comes close to the spoilers I tripped over for EpII, leading to my unfortunate downfall. So sad, so angsty (in the beginning), SO full of memories of Qui-Gon and Siri. But also, an interesting tidbit that could (or not, you know how EU is) reveal something interesting about the end of the film...

From Page 4...FOUR,

"At first, Obi-Wan had thought that Anakin had died in the flames of a volcano on Mustafar. It was months later that he'd realized what had happened, that the Emperor had kept him alive, or, at least, the part he wanted to remain -- the hate and the power. Obi-Wan had seen Darth Vader's image on a datarecorer he'd found in an alley of Mos Eisley -- it contained a HoloNet report -- and he had known at once, with a sense of shock so profound it had made him ill, that Lord Darth Vader had once been Anakin Skywalker."

THEY DON'T KNOW??!!?? OBI-WAN AND YODA DON'T KNOW THAT ANAKIN SURVIVED!!! OMGWTFGFFA!!!ONE1!!

Wow. I just...don't know where to go with that. It makes me even sadder for them.

On a different front, I have presentation for class tonight, so I should probably go practice.

Laters.
