Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM....
You
are probably wondering where I was in the past five or so days, so here’s the
answer: I was surfing the web for interesting Star Wars media, when I came across A LOT of awesome things.
Gradually, over the course of time I will post links to these different items,
but first I would like to post a link to one of my favourite of the websites
that I found: The Star Wars Expanded
Universe Timeline, by Joe Bongiorno. This website expresses the different
points of the Star Wars EU, as well
as a great selection of cancelled or no-longer-available Star Wars content, such as Star
Wars Adventure Journal stories (Just
Business, Light and Shadow, The Contact), the third book in
Scholastic’s Adventures in Hyperspace
series (The Big Switch), a collection
of Star Wars web-comics (Prelude to Rebellion #0, Evasive Action, The Clone Wars seasons 1-3, A
Hunter’s Fate), and much more, including Kenneth C. Flint’s UNPUBLISHED
Bantam Spectra novel, The Heart of the
Jedi, published exclusively for the timeline! So, if you want to check it
out (It is amazing! You have to see
it!), here is the link below:

Just
to get you started, here is an excerpt from the first page of Joe Bongiorno’s
APPROVED story, Supernatural Encounters:
The Trial and Transformation of Arhul Hextraphon, which follows the
research of Galactic Historian, Arhul Hextraphon:
Arhul Hextrophon sat alone in his study, cogitating on the inveterate, ceaseless stream that was time. The decrescent Chandrilan moon, now dissolving in the pastoral fields of chicory and lyris that grew wild upon the sweet-scented valleys he knew, spurred on his mordant brooding. How long had an ignescent galaxy been consumed by the dying rage of the ignorant, mad, and monstrous? Was peace only reserved for those for whom all endeavors ceased, or were the dead embroiled in yet other toils?
Arhul recalled with fondness Mon Mothma and others long departed who had given their lives to ensure that freedom from bondage and fear could be shared by all, a cause he once fervently shared. Now he wondered if it was all folly and naive idealism. What purposes did all the suffering and shed blood serve if for only a few months of peace before evil arose again to take the place of that which they’d fought so bitterly to defeat? Had the Alliance and its various successors only succeeded in fueling war, as their most outspoken critics contended?
The Lurmen had accused the Jedi and New Republic of being only slightly less militaristic than the Empire. The Sylphe King of Sainte-Evanëflore remarked that the Rebellion only fed the violence, “engorging the bloated death-worm that cares nothing for ideologies or sides.” The Nuiwit Council of Elders charged that “in war, there is no good and evil, only spilled blood and shattered bones, only darkness and death.” Even the famous Cody Sunn-Childe, who knew violence all too well, said that “War is the most fervent expression of the Father of Shadows, for it serves nought but him and those who serve him.”
As for the rest of the story, please check out the
rest of Bongiorno’s website, and stay tuned for more exciting content on the
and only SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!
