It doesn’t have a lot of Kes – the logbook by far is the best development of/for Kes, IMO – but we get more of Shara in SE than in BtA or the logbook. To each their own and how they internalize canon, though!) (Also they’re pretty major adventures for Shara? Since they’re the whole point of the mini-series? She’s absolutely the protagonist of all four issues, above Leia or above Luke, but you’d have to go into it reading for her and not predisposed to read protagonism(?) onto the Skywalkers. But alas. Again, ymmv.)
sugarspiceandcursewords said: Oh, I don’t mean that it’s not good Shara, just that it doesn’t strongly establish anything about her besides general strength and goodness, so it’s not going to wreck anyone’s headcanon of her […] Mostly I don’t love the comics because they accomplish so little progress in so many pages. I know they’re more about the art; that’s just not my preferred focus.
LOL edited and compiled, but S, you’re already doing better than me with your trigger-happy phone– I can neither see nor make replies from mine! But we’ll make a usable discussion system on here yet!
I realize I kept mashing the two of you into posts but hey. Clearly, you’re both Shara fans, so, hey, right?
I’m always self-conscious in fandom stuff that I’m not an invested-enough fan, because I like to take a thing and then go off in my own corner and work on it, and I don’t like to check back in a lot but I also don’t usually want to make a whole full-fledged AU. So, I’ve definitely Not Done My Due Diligence with Kes, because some of the stuff I’ve done to flesh him out does directly contradict these supplemental-materials-canon stuff, and I’m sad for that but I’m also not fixing it because where I went was, I think, better and more thoroughly-considered than the bonus materials people! (Like, for real, you have a covert operative who’s just going to park his distinctive, officially-sanctioned, literally military-issue ride at his well-known dad’s house and then fly direct to a covert mission and then come right back afterward? Come on, you did not think that through, I like mine better.)
