    Lol Vader is Qui-gons midlifecrisis adopted child

      Lol, Jedi lineages are kinda like that. Qui-gon was the same way for Dooku, who was the same way for Yoda, except Yoda's midlife crisis happened almost 800 years after the Battle of Ruusan.

    Interesting, I didn't know there was actually some creativity in the Star Wars fanbase. Good review too man.

      You'd be surprised what gems can be found in the rough of the Wired. Glad you liked the video, man!

    DA - Deviantart. Obi-quiet from Deviant art. DA's Obi-quiet. ;) You wouldn't be the first person to just call me Obi, though. LOL :D
    Man, I WISH I were friends with Ian M. That would be so awesome! Thank you SO much for that! It's creepy to get into the guy's head, I'll tell you, but if it makes good fic... *shrug* ;)
    *Potential Spoiler*
    Vader goes to therapy. *nods* Yup. NGL, that wasn't my intention when I started the series, but once I got into his characterization and realized just how screwed up he was, I really wanted to see him try to fix it, which IS part of the reason why I started to write it. If he really wanted to believably make as much progress as he needed, I couldn't see him doing so WITHOUT going to therapy, you know? That being said, I have done some research, but I am most definitely nothing more than an armchair therapist. I'm very happy it worked out so well and came across like that though. :D
    All in all, this was a wonderflly insightful review and the fact that you STARTED your series with MY story just... Thank you. Seriously. Thank you.
    I do plan on finishing it. I actually have the rest of it more or less planned out, it's just a matter of getting there, and life kind of caught up with me so I had to skip last month. BUT I promise I will finish this story and may have a fourth story to come. :)

      Wew lad! Good to hear from you, and I'm glad to see that this series is going to continue. I should have figured about the DeviantArt part, but sometimes the fact that the internet is as old as it is, in fact the next episode in this series is about a story so old that I found it on Icy Brian's page back in the day! I've been reading fanfiction for a long time, written some of it myself though I wouldn't consider myself that good as compared to the stories I've enjoyed.
      Also, I did strike an outtake where I said "And I'm glad the author picked Siri-Tachi, as she is Best Jedi Girl and that flaxen-haired, pacifist hussy Satine Kyrze never appreciated Obi-wan like she should have." But I couldn't get the line to work, so I cut it. Major props for you, because Obi-wan/Siri-Tachi is an OTP for me.
      Thanks for reaching back out! It's always good to hear back from an author, and I'm glad you liked the video!

      @@WillMartinWrites I was going to delete this comment and post it under DAsObiQuiet instead, BUT I was able to change the name, so yay! :D
      Not everyone gets the Deviantart thing, so no worries. I could have just been German or something. LOL
      Icy Brian... Whooo... I was never there but wasn't that like predating ffnet? Or was it about the same time?
      Oh, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who had issues with Satine. I mean, I don't hate the woman, and if Obi-wan likes her, well... fine. I've seen people acknowledge both in interesting ways. Like Siri was puppy-love/crush and Satine was the real love, or that Satine was the rebound after Siri (which is one I personally like) but it's nice to see other people who don't much care for Satine. I do think it's funny that Obi-wan has a type though. LOL
      You're welcome! thank you for choosing my story, again! :D

      No worries! I'm glad for the engagement! Icy Brian's page was a long time ago, back before FF.net, during the times when most fanfic archives were someone's personal website that they paid to host and you'd submit there. It definitely was a different time, but there's some stories from that era that I found to be absolutely phenomenal. While I like AO3's formatting, it does lead to stories getting lost in the shuffle from these older archives as the author may not want to repost the work due to either loyalty to the old archive or just because they've fallen out of the hobby since the initial posting.
