Post from Bluesky.

I watched the old 80s movie awhile ago and the new one recently, enjoyed both, but got very much interested in the setting of the show. One of my favorite comics is Jack Kirby's the Fourth World (A.K.A. New Gods), and hearing the influence it had on the 80s movie is what drove me to the franchise in the first place.

I love the setting of mixing fantasy and science fiction, having magic and science co-exist in the universe and work in tandem, and I was drawn to the DC run next, especially as it has a bunch of writers I like who worked on it.

LOVED it. I like the characters and lore a lot, enjoyed all the action, and loved watching the stakes get higher, and it had a very satisfying ending.

I plan to get to the original show sometime, anything else you recommend besides it?

I got into the EU through the comics first, reading the Dark Empire and Thrawn trilogies, then a TPB collecting some Boba Fett stories, including the Blood Ties stories.

After reading recommendations on here, I started on Darth Plagueis, a 3rd through so far. LOVE it; great writing, and I enjoy seeing how machievellian Plagueis is and how it's setting the tone for how the saga all started.

I'm torn on getting to the Dark Lord trilogy next because it's the same writer, but also wanting to get to Darth Bane next, too. Which should I go for? Or should I try something else here first? And what else do you recommend I get?

Tenacious D reference?
