From the Bookshelf: The Star Wars Heresies

More or less as soon as I'd managed to find some positive-minded people and get back into Star Wars, I heard about the essays of Paul F. McDonald. As I don't remember him posting to the message board and journals I was reading, he might have seemed a little separate from everyone else, but perhaps that helped reassure me I hadn't gone from feeling all on my own to just being part of one little closed circle. When he started his own weblog, that seemed to integrate him a bit more into the evolving community. Hearing he was going to be able to put his thoughts into a genuine book, though, was something different again. I'd been annoyed several times before by works of "refined pop culture commentary" that I'd opened up only to crash straight into gratuitous "off-topic" jabs at Star Wars, and now it seemed things would turn around at last. While the occasional thought that I knew more or less what would be said might have come to mind as I was ordering "The Star Wars Heresies" and waiting (quite a few months) for it, I wanted to be able to support the spirit behind it anyway.
