Tonight’s Diners: Scott, Miles, and M.
On this podcast, we talk about the Squee Fan Girl Project which you can find out about here. We also discuss Hot Topics acquisition of ThinkGeek. We wind up our discussion with whether or not infantilism has struck pop Science Fiction, a discussion based on an article by Simon Pegg. We share our short interview with Timothy Zahn and end with the top five Simon Pegg movies. Please excuse the audio.
LucasFilm at times referred to some of the more detailed Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game supplements from West End Games, and when Timothy Zahn started work on a new trilogy of Star Wars books, boxes of West End sourcebooks were delivered to him. At the time, Zahn was writing what would become known as the “Thrawn Trilogy”, the first book of which was Heir to the Empire (1991). In turn, West End released sourcebooks for Zahn’s three novels from 1992-1994.
The Thrawn trilogy marked a revival in the fortunes of the Star Wars franchise, bringing it widespread attention for the first time in years; all three Thrawn-trilogy novels made the New York Times best-seller lists,[3] and set the stage and tone for most of the franchise’s Expanded-Universe content. Zahn also wrote the young adult Dragonback series and the popular Conquerors’ Trilogy.

Hey - in response to discussion about Simon Pegg - one of you said "his concern is that we have cheapened Sci Fi...it becomes dumb...Then what should happen?, he should challenge Hollywood" - - Simon Pegg is WRITING the next Star Trek movie!!! What better way to challenge Hollywood, than through the franchise that set the GOLD STANDARD for Humanity being better than we are now? This makes me even MORE excited for the next Star Trek movie, because it tells me that Simon Pegg really GETS why Star Trek has the longevity. He's putting his money where his mouth is, I think!!
