My set arrived later than a lot of other people's (it had to ship across the border), so I'm not too exercised about my own wait yet.

It feels somehow unfortunate I'm able to suppose this an adaptation of A.E. van Vogt's "Black Destroyer"...

The "unfortunate" part, I suppose, is recollections of a generally smug anti-Lucas cast to the book somewhat in advance of The Force Awakens's premiere.

Unfortunately, now I'm remembering a book that tried to argue that since we don't see "books" in the Star Wars movies, everyone in them is "functionally illiterate": krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/288320.html

If I didn't have *those* toys, I at least had "remarkable lookalikes," shorn of context after their packages vanished... I remember the red one slowly losing its little yellow gun turrets, anyway.
