Rated: K+

Star Wars Fic!! I literally know nothing about Star Wars (you may throw tomatos now) but let’s give it a shot, hey?

Chapter 1

Is it bad I’m reading this in an English accent? I’m not English, just to clarify. Sounds so smart and well worded!

So this guy, StarKiller, was like a spy (I think) and he was undercover and then he and this other person (Juno) put Darth Vader on trial, but Vader escaped.

Yeah, I don’t really know what I’m reading. I like how it sounds, though.

It’s probably because I’m not a Star Wars fan (another reason to disown me from fanfiction, I suppose) but I thought that StarKiller DIDN’T want to be known as Galen Marek?

I think I get it now. Nevermind.

So someone on this planet is a human…I think.

Master Mama! Heck yeah!

I love this story, even though I don’t understand very much of it. It’s well written, and even though it’s hard to follow for a non-fan it’s easy to become interested.

It’s so sad that they were split up. I’m single, and probably will be the rest of my life, so I lucked out in not having to feel that lol.

Chapter 2

This is awesome. I wish you wrote for fandoms I knew about because I’d be, like, your biggest fan. Just kidding, but I would be really into reading what you write.

Is Juno his girlfriend?

I like StarKiller. He seems pretty cool! He kind of seems like the cool, calm and collected friend everyone wants to have. Well, externally. I imagine internally he's the exact opposite.

And watching as that cool, calm, collected demeanor fades away. Very nice.

Whoa! Let me jump to a conclusion here, as I'm very good at doing. So Galen Marek is the one who loves Juno, but because StarKiller is a clone of Galen Marek he loves Juno. Right? That's a weird little love triangle, isn't it? The pieces are (slowly) coming together.

Okay....someone explain this 'force' thing to me? What the heck is it? (this has been explained to me).

Is a droid like a dog? Not like does it look like a dog, but like is it some sort of pet? What is it? (it has been explained, so for all you non-Star Wars fans it’s basically like a robot).

I think when I start seriously looking for a co-blogger I'm going to seriously hit up the Star Wars/Star Trek people. I need someone who understands this stuff.

Why do I feel like this review is complete nonsense? Oh right, because I have no idea what I'm talking about. Well, I hope it's mildly entertaining anyway...

I kind of imagine StarKiller as a robot at this point, even though I'm pretty positive that he is NOT a robot.

OoO sassy Proxy! Go to the dog house! Okay, that was a cheap joke.

Yeah StarKiller, you programmed him. It's your own fault. You may also look in the mirror and blame yourself for having a considerate and caring droid...whatever a droid is.

I take back what I said before about his cool, calm, collected-ness. He's such a rebel. The kind that really flies off the handle at just about everything. Gives me a proper understanding of 'looks can be deceiving.'

Chapter 3

WooHoo back to Silas!!!

New characters! Yeah!

'She immediately opened her hands and the angry red of her torn skin stood out against the dark dirt and numerous pebbles.' Wow. Incredible sentence. I really love the 'angry red' part. Very eye-catching or whatever.

I know nobody can take me seriously when I say 'or whatever'.

I smell flirting. Just kidding, you can't smell through a computer screen. But I wonder what all this back and forth banter REALLY means.

Awww I need to start getting my creative juices flowing to come up with a nickname for Silas and Adilla.

What. On. Earth. What is a Mandalorian?

Whoa crazy! Literally glued to the computer screen.

Run girl run!

Awww this is just so dang cute. If there's one thing I can follow in a story, it's love. It always manages to tie everything together and make everything else make sense.

No! Bez can't die! What the heck?!

My heart just literally shattered. My goodness, what are you doing to me??

I really feel a connection to this Adilla character. She takes center stage and holds your attention throughout. Honestly, the emotion in this scene is beyond words. I've read a lot of fantastic writing, and this is right up there with it. As a writer, I always have that special connection to my stories and my characters. As a reader, it takes lot for me to feel that same connection, but I feel like these writers pour their entire selves into every word they write, and I give them crazy props for throwing me into a world I don't understand and making it possible for me to get to a point where I feel comfortable voicing (typing) my opinion of their work into this review. I feel like if I jumped into another story that wasn't as well written as this, I would be completely lost and give up after the first paragraph.

And shot down. Strike one, Silas.

Shouldn't Silas be even a little bit concerned about another bounty hunter showing up at his house and killing him?

Rest, dear grasshopper. Totally irrelevant to this story, but I think I'm hilarious so there it shall be.

Chapter 4

Back to StarKiller. If I'm being honest, which I am, I feel like I have a deeper connection with the Silas/Adilla storyline than I do with the StarKiller storyline. I still think StarKiller is pretty awesome though.

I wonder if the young man in StarKiller's vision thing is Silas...hmmmmm.....

I'm not going to lie, I kind of want Proxy as a best friend. I'm just becoming a fan of everything and everyone in this story. Just throwing that out there.

Okay...what is he in? A cave or a space ship? Or is he in a space ship IN a cave? Oh, interesting.

He’s calling Juno! Way too excited about this…

It’s interesting that the tavern almost doubles as a hospital. I’m speaking in the real world, though, so maybe that wasn’t the point.

Poor Proxy L

I feel so bad for Juno and StarKiller. I hope when this is all over they can live happily ever after. Yes, I believe in fairy tales even when I’m reading a Star Wars fic.

I just read a whole paragraph of stuff I don’t understand, but I think Juno saved someone at some point.

And she flies. This chick is awesome!

Another sad face. Like I said before, love is always something I can relate to…except for the gaggy kind of love. That kind is just ugh.

Awww they’re going to meet in their special place. That’s so cute!

And he’s off!

The long awaited reunion. I’m practically jumping around over here. Seriously.

I feel like I’ve been deflated like a balloon. I was really hoping for some love and happiness, but it didn’t turn out that way. I wonder if this is how StarKiller and Juno are feeling.

So sad L

Alright, you guys have done such a fantastic job!  I still can’t believe you managed to get me hooked on a Star Wars story, so that says something in itself right?

Rating: 5/5

Side note: I’ve had the extreme pleasure of speaking with one of the writers in this group, and I have to say that he represented this group of writers perfectly. He was humble and down to earth, which is something I don’t find often with good writers (even bad writers) so I have to applaud the talent and personality of this particular member and, with him, the rest of Theredstring. You’re all such great writers and I hope you never give that up and that it takes you far. Bravo!
