Et bah cet interview me donne clairement pas envie.
Morceaux choisis :
JJM a écrit:We set the "Knights of the Old Republic" series seven years before the video games, and while that gave us some fun opportunities, it also created an expectations game with people who were heavily invested in learning more about the video game characters. We made it pretty clear the video game territory was the backdrop and not the star of our show, but every time we did go near that material, it just started the speculation again.
On avait beau le savoir, ça fait quand même mal d'entendre que les guerres mandalorienne n'étaient clairement qu'un prétexte aux aventures de Zayne Carrick.
JJM a écrit:We certainly didn't approach "Knights of the Old Republic" with the idea that it'd run 50 issues
Il avait même pas prévu 50 numéros pour
KoTOR, on voit le niveau de recherches scénaristiques.
JJM a écrit:There are a lot of different factions that we're designing, and yes, there are family connections between some of them. I began dealing with the concept of Sith families in my "Lost Tribe of the Sith" e-book series for Del Rey. It's a very interesting topic because the Sith are about the glorification of self and the subjugation of others, and their familial feelings would also need to be seen through that prism. Vader certainly cares what happens to Luke, for example - but that doesn't stop him from doing what he does in Episode V. "Tough love" in the Sith mindset is pretty tough indeed - and not all Sith parents and siblings are going to be as caring even as Vader was.
Des sith cherchant l'amour et fondant des familles.
Sûr que c'est nouveau. Mais nouveauté n'implique pas nécessairement qualité.
JJM a écrit:"Knight Errant" will be to a degree more episodic in nature; since we've got the situation where we have both comics and a novel, I'll be looking to tell tight, stand-alone stories that nonetheless build on each other to make a larger world.
Une série épisodique. Ca donne envie.
JJM a écrit:Webster defines a "knight-errant" as a knight traveling in search of adventures. The young Jedi Kerra Holt does initially travel into Sith-controlled space on a mission - but after that, all the adventures have no trouble finding her.

It's an important question, because Jedi play several roles. They're supposed to keep peace and order - but this is a place of war and chaos, where the Republic has long since abandoned. They're also supposed to battle the Sith - but that's difficult so far behind the lines, where they can't rely on the Republic's navy. And they're also supposed to provide an example, to inspire hope.

Is it more important simply to be seen to be defying the Sith, or is it more important to do something less visible, but something that actually helps someone? There's a constant tension between the pragmatic and the ideal, and it confronts Kerra at every turn.
Voila, c'est vraiment les aventures d'une jedi perdu en territoire sith, c'est pas la guerre, c'est pas de l'infiltration, ça a l'air vraiment de "Bon qu'est-ce que je fouts là ? Oh tiens un pecnot dans le besoin, allons l'aider"
Je sens que mon intérêt pour cette série ne va pas dépasser les 3 tomes.
J'espère me tromper mais je n'y crois pas.
