Join us on Tuesday March 19 at 6:30 for an evening of fun and games celebrating A Song of Ice and Fire and the start of the third season of the HBO series A Game of Thrones.We’ll have games, snacks, trivia, and lively discussion about the the coming TV season and speculation surrounding the The Winds of Winter, the forthcoming novel.
Join us at the Library this Thursday (1/24) at 6:30 for a celebration of all things Star Wars! Dress up as your favorite character and mingle with other droids, stromtroopers, Jedi knights, and bounty hunters.
While I have your attention, Star Wars fans, I want to ask a question. What are your thoughts on watching the now expanded canon in this order: 4, 5, 2, 3, 6? The reasoning goes like this. Episode 1 adds next to nothing to the larger storyline. Watching the movies in episode order also spoils one of the greatest cinematic surprises of all time – Luke’s paternity. With the alternate order listed above, the saga becomes a more Luke Skywalker focused piece with a nice Anakin flashback midway through before the final episode (Return of the Jedi) ties the father/son redemption themes together. What do you think?
