Been revisiting all Star Wars stories from the start (it's a hobby) and just finished 1983. In these first few years of the saga, Princess Leia has been captured 22 times and Luke has crashed a vehicle 17 times. A bad feeling has been had 11 times. This is a totally normal pastime to have. - ThreadSky

if you want to be really normal you should count all the white people

lol

I love that those are the metrics you're tracking 😆

If one were to make a timeline of just day to day events in the lives of the main characters in legends, it would be absolutely bonkers

Leia used a lightsaber once in Splinter of the Minds Eye before being completely wrecked by Vader

Is her security that bad, or were some of the captures intentional? 😂

Any recommended reading material if I want to explore the time period between the battle of Yavin to the battle of Hoth (legends or canon)?

I adore David Michelinie’s run on the original Marvel comics so I would happily recommend you seek out his work. The newspaper strips are also a favorite of mine, whether by Goodwin-Williamson or Russ Manning.

I second the Goodwin-Williamson strips (I read them when they were converted to comic book format). Those are some of my favourites from the era.

jeez, a guy gets in one car accident and they make it a character trait

I loved Zahn’s Thrawn novels, but they were like from the 90s or thereabouts?

There are new ones, too. A trilogy of his origins and another one that I haven't gotten around to.

1991, 1992 and 1993 was when each one debuted.

I haven't read them in ages, but I still have them in hardcover. I enjoyed them then. I wonder if I still would.

Imagine the price of Luke's car insurance renewal.

Sounds like a fun project. Your complete data set would be a fascinating read, I think, along with your decision-making process for what items to track in the first place.

Is this Vonda N McIntyre

Poor Leia. Or poor villains (They really don’t know who they’re dealing with). They should have done some research before.
