Operation: Say a key word and that'll help you remember has failed once again. Woke up in the night with very clear memories of something that would be super-worth writing down, said the key word... and now I can't even remember that. At least I had a later dream which I can remember.
In the interests of equal opportunities, last night I spent time in Star Wars. Purportedly it was about the time of A New Hope, but... well. The bit I remember is Grand Moff Tarkin capturing Han Solo (dressed in the classic shirt-and-waistcoat outfit), and Han's son (dressed exactly the same) and chaining them up. Only Tarkin was CG, but very bad CG. They kept him in darkness as much as they could, but when they composited his face on they made it about 25% too small for his head. And his hair was a mess. Really kind of creepy.
Anyway, Han and Baby Han - who I couldn't remember the name of for a while, but eventually pegged as Jacen (shows you where my loyalties lie) - were hung up by their hands in this room, and they discussed what was happening. I remember them mentioning 'the thing with Thracken' (Sal Solo, Han's cousin and villain of some of the EU books), which tells me that the timeline was really screwed up. I think they/I was unsure for a bit whether CG!Tarkin was supposed to be Tarkin or Sal Solo.
And that's all I've got. I can't think of any proximate explanations for any of it - I mean, I've seen pictures of CG!Tarkin and classic!Han in the last week or two, but nothing immediate. Just chalk it up to general fannishness.

Which reminds me- would you like a link to an excellent Star Wars fic?

For every Courtship of Princess Leia, there was a Wraith Squadron. I, being the undiscerning soul I am, have almost all of them. I took it hard when it all got thrown out, but the idea of a new canon which will actually acknowledge the books has grown on me.
(The weirdest thing about seeing Force Awakens, coming from the EU, is the loss of gravity wells! In fact, both the new films have included hyperjumps to or from a planetary surface, which would be flat-out impossible under the old rules, and in fact renders a VAST number of storylines utter nonsense. Odd, the things you get hung up on...)
Of course I'd like a link! Fiction is cool. ^_^
