yes, I *do* get like this when I'm writing, thanks very much

Obi-Wan is a whiny little bitch, that's what he is, and this is next to Anakin "I'll land on Naboo and run out of my ship screaming my wife's name at the top of my lungs after I haven't seen her for ten years and Obi-Wan has called requesting backup in the middle of the night" Skywalker. Also, Quinlan Vos is a rockstar. Also, I just realized that pretty much every character that's ever shown up in all six movies is going to be in this story (slight exaggeration). Except for Yoda. Surprisingly, Yoda does not fit in.

Or, you know, Darth Vader. Obviously. Or Lando Calrissian. Yet. *eyes story warily*

Possibly a title is in order. Oh, yeah, don't have one yet. *throws things*

A quote, which may or may not make it into the final cut, you know how it goes:

"I know where we're going," Anakin said, tight-lipped. "And I know I'm going to kill Obi-Wan."

Aayla, who'd come in and was leaning on the back of Quinlan's chair, said, "What, again?"

OH MY GOD

The trailer for Gone Baby Gone is up. Gone Baby Gone is one of my favorite novels ever, by my absolute favorite author, Dennis Lehane; it would be so easy to fuck up the Kenzie-Gennaro stories because they're infinitely multi-layered; they look easy, but they're not. I hope Ben Affleck didn't fuck this up, because this one especially...*crosses fingers* Casey Affleck, who's playing Patrick, looks a little younger than I was picturing, and Michelle Monaghan doesn't fit the mental image of Angie -- who's supposed to look hardcore Italian -- but hopefully, the casting will be good despite the visual discrepancies.

*crosses fingers* I love Dennis Lehane with an unholy passion. Mystic River is one of my absolute favorite novels; I love the Kenzie-Gennaro series with the fire of a thousand burning suns. I just hope they don't screw this up, because it would be so damn easy. The trailer looks promising, though.
