Leaving Coruscant, maybe. I'm excited about the detective stuff with them and the mysterious bounty hunter, but I lose most of my excitement once Obi-Wan and Anakin split up. Correlation, causation, etc..

You can break TPM down to it's basic plot elements and see a startling relationship to A New Hope. Two characters on a more or less diplomatic ship end up being attacked and escape to the surface of a nearby planet where they meet a native country bumpkin whose life is turned upside down and ends up embroiled in this multi-system struggle for power. They end up escaping from that planet with a few extra characters in tow and have a clear course ahead of them. They inadvertently end up somewhere they weren't expecting to go and have to figure out how to get away. While there, however, they find another character who they deem important and decide to free them and bring them with.

They then head off to an intergalactic board room where they eventually hatch a plan to head back to one of the previous locations and fight a battle. They eventually win and everyone gets medals.

I am loving this thread.

They're wall-to-wall exposition. The excuse for that is that the plots are really complex and that the exposition is necessary. The real issue is that the plots are really complex and the exposition is necessary.

We could have skipped six years of podcasts and just said this.

Additionally, he only had one movie worth of screen time whereas Han Solo had three (at the time of the review) and so that may play a factor in what people remember.

Solid. That's good.

To what extent would you accept the argument that his point was, "this second, without having had any time to prepare, what do you remember about __________?," and that whatever people were able to come up with under those conditions was the actual point of the question. There are a lot of answers for Han Solo, there are not a lot of answers for Qui-Gon, QED.

Welcome to the forum, by the way.

That's fun, I don't think I've heard that angle on RLM before. Could you elaborate on an example of one of his major invalid criticisms that people seem especially taken with?

Skeletons are difficult to pin down, weight-wise, because the weight changes as they dry out. Generally speaking you can expect a skeleton to weight twenty-five pounds, and it might be lighter or heavier depending on the circumstances.

So, that's me. Now you've heard from me. I cede the floor.

Both the essay and an "audiobook" version (which is a stretch, seeing as it's only an hour long) are now up.

There's two ways to approach it. One is the approach of people who get mad at anyone with a short attention span, and they'd tell you "just tell the story you want to tell, and if that requires a slow start, so be it!" The other way would be my approach, which would be to embrace the reality of asking people to listen to an audio thing — which unlike all other forms of media cannot be scanned at-a-glance to determine what it is and where it's going — and assume "whatever this is, it needs to be at its clearest and most-interesting in the first sixty seconds or nobody is going to make it to the sixty-first."

*shrug*

It is my opinion that, unless you're giving them a free audiobook or otherwise longform piece of audio content, people are considerably less likely to stick with audio fiction than fiction in other mediums. So I'd be playing defense against that principle.
