Что-то ещё говорить, думаю, лишнее.

Ну и, по вопросу continuity vs. character development, я тут внезапно вспомнил давнюю статью Дэвида Шварца на ETE. С тех пор ничуть не потеряла актуальности:
Цитата I remember Randy Stradley complaining about how the technical specs of the TIE fighter, defined ages before in the RPG, had forced them to use some awkward storytelling choices in Darklighter and how world-building should serve the needs of storytelling and not the other way round, something I thought made total sense. I myself remember thinking when I first read about the story of Darth Ruin, “Why? Why does one paragraph in one reference guide rob a future author the chance to write his take about something as important as the rise of the New Sith? What do we gain with this? Why is this okay?” I posed the question online, once, and I was told that authors should be able to write around this, or they shouldn’t be writing for Star Wars. That was the first time that I thought that this approach to continuity was (if you excuse my French-Canadian) boneheaded.
Then, one fateful day, I read a transcript of the panel where Legacy of the Force was first announced. I couldn’t believe it when I read that Lumiya was going to be the main antagonist! That night, drinking beers with my friends, the same friends that had played the RPG with me for many years, I mentioned that a new novel series was coming. They were excited about it, as they had missed on the New Jedi Order novels but were aching for new Star Wars, so I mentioned what I had heard on the panel. Their shared answer was: “Wait, who is this Lumiya?” I smiled and answered, explaining her story, from her Shira Brie years to her apparitions in Star Wars Gamer. One of my friends, the only one that still cared a bit about the Expanded Universe, laughed and said: “One second. So the bad guy of this new series is going to be some ex-girlfriend of Luke Skywalker who became an apprentice of Darth Vader and an Emperor’s Hand and who somehow has been under the radar as the only Rule of Two survivor for years. And before this she’s only been featured in some comics from the 1980s and some RPG adventures? Really? Who the hell are they writing these novels for?” It hit me. Who the hell, indeed. These guys loved Star Wars, but in the span of one minute I had seen their excitement going from ten to zero. Had continuity become poisonous to new readership, as I often saw editors claiming in comic book message boards? Had Del Rey given up and were just trying to appeal to hardcore fans, the ones that would buy anything just because it was part of the same continuous story? -------------------- "Невинный блаженец" © D.G.
Ilaan vanished – and took all the sounds and sources of light along. Only Ilaan remained. Down on his knees, an obedient servant of the Force, just like all those months ago. It spoke to him – and he listened, without saying a word. Out of his silence, the sounds and images appeared, filling the space around them, giving the reality its meaning and weight, just like clean white cloth that gradually becomes heavy with blood when it covers the body. |
