Nah, not really. Unless you are Starwars crazy the movie wasn't all that great. It is hyped up to no end since Starwars can't do no wrong.

That is my opinion, feel free to disagree, but don't be disappointed if I don't change my mind.

I haven't seen it yet so have no opinion. But since I am a Star Wars fan I hope to enjoy it very much.

But I will not try to change your mind.

I hope you will enjoy it. You should wait until the DVD/BD comes out. If it was good, you can see it again and again. If it was only so-so, you saved some money. Win win.

Ask the Author: Jim Butcher

Answered Questions (4)

Is there anything, non-spoiler, that you can tell us that we as the reader might be thinking incorrectly about since we only get Harry's perspective on everything?
Jim Butcher Basically anything to do with the White Council, Harry has no rational perspective on whatsoever.

How is your hair so luxurious and sleek?
Jim Butcher It feeds upon the souls of fanpeople.

Hi Jim, Would you rather be a Redshirt on Star Trek or a Stormtrooper in Star Wars?
Jim Butcher Tough question. ToS, NG, DS9? It matters based on whether or not I have holodeck access while awaiting my inevitable death.

Is their a chance that the Dresden Files will be made into either a new rebooted TV series or a movie?
Jim Butcher There is every chance! Talks are underway, though they usually are. We'll have to see if anything pans out.

Sigh.
I have to strenuously disagree.
I thought that it should have been called Star Wars: Redemption, because it erased the fecal stain of the Prequels from my mind.
But to each his own.

I admit, the only version of Starwars that is awesome is this one done in text:

Talk about geeks. Last time I downloaded it i think it was 700kb big maybe?

Update: Unbound
August 18, 2015 Shawn Speakman

Here is an update about Unbound and Unfettered II!

The final story for Unbound has been sent to me. We have been moving forward with editing for the last few weeks in preparation for the completed, first draft anthology manuscript. Unfortunately, it took a while for this last story to be turned in and it has pushed Unbound into the holiday season now.

I’m not going to lie: I like this new development. A lot. I love having books being given as gifts. And I sincerely think this anthology will be the perfect book to give to your favorite geek!

I’m shooting for Unbound to begin shipping by December 1st. It may ship earlier in November. I’ll know that when I have Todd Lockwood’s cover art and the edits finished.

Due to pushing the anthology back a bit, I have also decided to move Terry Brooks’s Unfettered II short story into Unbound! He will write a new story for Unfettered II. His story for Unbound is a Landover tale and it is absolutely hilarious. Can’t wait for you guys to read it.

Here is the completed Unbound line-up:

Joe Abercrombie
Kristen Britain
Terry Brooks
Jim Butcher
Rachel Caine
Harry Connolly
Delilah S. Dawson
David Anthony Durham
Jason M. Hough
Mary Robinette Kowal
Mark Lawrence
John Marco
Tim Marquitz
Brian McClellan
Seanan McGuire
Peter Orullian
Kat Richardson
Anthony Ryan
Shawn Speakman
Brian Staveley
Michael J. Sullivan
Sam Sykes
Mazarkis Williams

Todd Lockwood is hard at work on the cover art as we speak. We have already discussed the content of the cover and I’m excited to share it when it is finished.

As for Unfettered II, that anthology will now launch at Phoenix Comic Con or San Diego Comic Con in 2016. I already have half of the stories and I know the rest will be turned in this year.

More news when I have it! Can’t wait to share this magical anthology with all of you!

Shawn

Little late, but no. This is Mister with his tail grown back. Here a quote from Storm Front chapter 8:

Spoiler:

Mister was waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs that led down to the apartment's front door. Mister is an enormous grey cat. I mean, enormous. There are dogs smaller than Mister. He weighs in at just over thirty pounds, and there isn't an undue amount of fat on his frame. I think maybe his father was a wildcat or a lynx or something. I had found Mister in a garbage can about three years before, a mewling kitten, with his tail torn off by a dog or a car—I was never sure which, but Mister hated both, and would either attack or flee from them on sight.
