Alright everyone...this is a Claudia Black related post but also a Star Wars one as well. So I am writing a story set in the universe and it picks up after the events of Ahsoka and it connects to one key scene. This scene is after all, the moment when Thrawn returns to the known galaxy and his star destroyer is heading to the Dathomir system with the Nightsisters from Peridea (sp?). In my story, they are not alone. It just happens by sheer fate that a Mandalorian is in the system who has some connections to the nightsisters during the Clone Wars. There's a lot of details I'd like to include but I don't want to spoil too much...anyway, I just want to hear from some of ya in regards to what you think the background of Klothow might turn out to be.

In terms of appearances like, eye and hair color...? Age? Think she's ancient? It's hard to say since we know little about her role and if Claudia will have a chance to explore Klothow in depth. She has so much range to the point she can take her in any direction - honestly. She can go straight out evil or good....but why not both? so thats kind of what I am exploring with her character in a sense that could work. also where the character will eventually find some sort of a balance which explains that Nightsisters have never allied themselves fully to either Jedi and Sith. Again, it depends on the different clans too from what I remember - though I know a lot of the old legends are not in canon. However, I have seen every nightsister related episodes in Clone Wars and Rebels - but I think I will have to go back to those and see what I might have missed. It's been awhile.

Its a long wait for season 2 and I know Claudia has signed a NDA as to not spoil anything. Not sure if that is still in effect - I'd say yeah cause they're filming season 2 now. As far as those tie in films that will conclude the War between Thrawn and the New Republic, only time will tell. At this point its hard to say...even talk about with little details to go on with. I find it a little surprising that she hasn't spoken much about her role in Star Wars. I get it...NDA....its in her contract and all. Its just, after seeing Farscape...and other things she's been part of, and the fact that it took her this long to be part of the SW universe, I'd be disappointed if she didn't get to do much with her character. Nightsisters have always intrigued me - same with Mandalorians so... yeah - there is so much potential.

If I had a way, I'd pitch my story ideas to her haha...and if she wanted to have an input in it, bonus. The way I am writing my story is like a TV series in mind. This is gonna be huge, very ambitious but challenging. I have worked on a SW story beforehand for the past ten years or so - I have the basics written so all I gotta do is go back to what I have on file(s) and pluck what I think still works for my story and see where things could go. There are gonna be some weird stuff in it...some things that im gonna introduce but also re-introduce because of the ancient elements that relate to the Old Republic era - Knights of the Old Republic and even before that - Tales of the Jedi. It will in some ways connect to certain key characters from the ancient past - most notably Nomi Sunrider, Ulic Qel Droma, Revan and Bastila Shan. I got my work cut out for me. but yeah. There are gonna be a few different romantic storylines here and there so there will be a lil bit of this and that for anyone who ends up reading this and if I post it anywhere. So far I have 1 chapter written - titled The Intruder. next chapter is titled Here goes Nothing and it only has 4 paragraphs. lol.

Anywho. Thank God its Friday! Hey...reminds me of that episode from Season 1 of Farscape haha... lol

I'm gonna come out and say that I cannot stop watching Farscape by chiming into the live stream on Youtube. lol. Its so cool that you can watch the show whenever and wherever you are. I did however, did a rewatch of the show and also implementing the commentaries with Ben and Claudia. I learned a lot through them and what their experience was like working on the show and with each other. I was just simply amazed. I thought it was interesting that it was Ben who chose Claudia to play Aeryn...and I have so much thanks to give him. He sure has tastes. As I do...

I finished writing my first chapter for my Star Wars story and its title is called The Intruder. I have yet to give the actual story a name and not sure what to go with. Basically, my story starts off with the one scene towards the end of Ahsoka when Thrawn and the Nightsisters arrive in the Dathomir system. My main character before they arrive was already there but he has a different reason for being there in the first place.

I just listened to the commentary of this episode. I love Ben and Claudia. 🥰

Watching the audio commentary for The Way We Weren't and Ben Browder refers to the way Claudia Blackburn can almost cry as "Puss in Boots" eyes and honestly:

He's not wrong.

So...I became aware of this show because Prime Video brought it up as a recommendation so on Friday April 25th is when I first started watching it. I admit, I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into and after a few episodes, I couldn't stop watching. It took me 12 solar days which I feel is a record cause BSG reboot took me far longer than that. I never been so invested in a show because of the characters and the more you watch each episode, the more you learn more about them. The stand out for me was Aeryn Sun and how John Crichton views her as something more than what she was bred to do as a peacekeeper. That was when I felt sold on what would be instore between them. As I kept watching, I was amazed how well Ben and Claudia managed to pull off each other because if you don't have chemistry to make it work to make it as realistic and believable, then its a fail. Their chemistry was unlike anything that even now we don't see in a lot of shows - depending on which ones. But their chemistry was off the charts that it blows all the Star Wars romances out the window. To this date now, Aeryn and John are my go to fave couple in Farscape, which I would watch over and over. I got the boxset - the 25th anniversary edition so I am looking forward to the extra special goodies. I never heard of Claudia Black...honest truth since well I came across an article and message forum actually regarding her role as a nightsister in Ahsoka. So I didnt realize why she was a big deal and after watching Farscape and seeing what she is capable of, now I understand. and I realized, man, she is so my type. I dunno how Claudia bypassed my radar after all these years. lol. I was only 15 at the time when the show first debuted but at the time, I didnt have the sci fi channel back home. I'll be posting more about which episodes and scenes are my most favorite. I literally inhaled the show and I regret not letting things digest to give me time to think over. All and all, I had a blast.

Huge Star Wars nerd here...It occurred to me regarding a dream i was having last night and in it Dave Filoni and I were pitching ideas for a possible story and character arc for Claudia's character from Ahsoka lol …so we had a meeting - all 3 of us and pretty much she was very open minded to explore and expand her role and then I abruptly woke up thanks to my cats running and jumping on my bed.

So anyway, as a writer who likes to explore endless possibilities set within a Galaxy far far away and while Claudia is a part of the source of my inspiration to see where and how her character could be explored...using the theme Fate and Destiny...Im gonna take a stab at it and see where it goes when two fates collide - a Mandalorian and a Nightsister.
