May the 4th

[author_by_night]

I was inspired by a Facebook post I wrote a few years ago, expressing confusion over all the May the 4th jokes. I then realized that I'd been doing the same thing to people as a huge Harry Potter fan - they would mention they'd read the books, and I'd start going on about something that wasn't immediately clear to more casual fans, leaving them confused.

I still haven't seen past the first Star Wars sequel. I really need to amend that.

Questions for YOU guys:

1. Is there anything you like only casually, only to mislead people into excitement when you mention it?

2. Have you ever confused a casual fan with ALL the love and knowledge?

3. What is your stance on the Star Wars sequels? Do you consider them canon? (If your comment contains spoilers, please mark it. I originally asked that this be spoiler free, but that's not fair to anyone who really wants to get into it! It IS Star Wars Day, after all.)

4. What is a book, movie, or series you WOULD like to see a sequel or prequel to? Or, if it's already had one of those, do you think it could be done better?

I think I'd much prefer "Marta gets caught up in another mystery" to "Benoit Blanc solves another mystery"; I'd like to see more of her, and she's much more interesting when she's in over her head than Blanc is when he's swanning around being confident he's going to get to the bottom of everything.

Part of me is saying "Marta has a lot on her plate already, she deserves a break", but I can't decide whether that's an argument for or against the idea.

Cosigned to all of this. Marta >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Blanc. Even if I hate the idea of whumping her like that. Though maybe the movie could be set as, "Her mom's just got her green card, everything with the Thrombeys is now resolved... and then here's a new thing!"
