Nov. 12th, 2014 09:10 pmCurrently have 26,513 words done so far. *Rubs wrists* Jesus. Anyway, I think I did good -- I admit that the problem I had with the Battle of Hoth was that, if you watch Empire Strikes Back, it's a pretty chaotic battle scene with a lot going on, and a lot of cutaways to different characters, so I had to keep track of what basically everyone was doing. But I think I did good -- I managed to add some additional threats, Mara being awesome, a good emotional moment between Ben and Ada when she's afraid Ben's going to be left behind in the base, and a set-up for a scene which...honestly, feels right out of KOTOR II: starting up the turrets to ward off the stormtroopers while Han starts up the engines. Of course, their troubles aren't going to end there -- poor Han and co. in Empire Strikes Back. I mean, if you really look at it, they had a terrible day getting away from the Empire. Luke too, later, but it seemed like Han and co. seemed to have a whole conga line of bad luck -- but...yeah. Actually pretty pleased with my word count so far, especially considering I was worrying a lot about my paper for Film and Lit and such -- that kind of distracted me a little bit, but I got back on topic. But yeah, I finally have a feeling like the story's taking off.
