发帖数: 7349 | 1 Tales of the chupacabra first emerged in Puerto Rico in the late 1990s. They
described a bipedal creature four or five feet tall with large eyes, spikes
down its back and long claws. This beast, people claimed, was responsible
for killing and draining the blood of livestock, an act that earned it its
name – which is Spanish for "goat-sucker". |

This final scene is also a reference to evolution: the sequence begins with
Stone swimming in water (oceans harbored the first cellular forms of life),
and then crawls out of the water, struggles but eventually supports herself
on her arms and knees (quadrupedal stance), moves on to a hunched-back
bipedal posture and then stands up in a Homo Erectus-like stance (all
reminiscent of Darwin's theories on human evolution)

the Jedi comic series, whose earliest events take place 37,000 years before
the films. The most recent is the Legacy comic series, which is set at most
139 years after Return of the Jedi. The timeline below uses the in-universe

很小的时候看过的《Star Wars》，后来陆陆续续看过一些novelization和属于legends
的外传，关于Sith的起源等等，玩过一些星战游戏，但是都没有很系统地钻研这个系列。
最近在跟娃们一起看《Clone Wars》系列，就跟娃一起补了一下课，把《Star Wars》
里面的Canon都又复习了一遍，从图书馆借来了六部蓝光收藏版，把deleted scenes和
制作过程的记录片也看了一遍，包括演员采访，卢卡斯访谈，还有visual artists的访
谈等等。
这卢卡斯不近就靠这个系列吃了一辈子，还养活了一堆人，包括做电影的，写小说的（
以Star Wars fictional universe为题材的小说就不下一百本，当然，大多数都只有
legends的地位，canon还是原来的那几个电影加上《Clone Wars》的电视系列片。
关于星战人物背景和武器装备已经有无数的coffee table books了，最近在图书馆找到
一本星战和地球历史背景的书，跟娃们一起过了一遍。
