User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/THE CHOSEN ONE: First four chapters released!/@comment-29301-20121005190324

I'm up to roughly somewhere in the middle of Chapter Four. Right now I'm having trouble remembering what my opinions are, but I really like how this is starting out. There were a ton of little moments where I was able to recognize very iconically Star Wars conflicts (for instance, Michael's internal division between wanting to be a good guy and wanting to be able to thrive in Tatooine's cesspit easily serves as a symbol for the internal struggle between the light and dark sides of the Force). I like the character of Michael himself. He's idealistic and wants to be a good guy, but doesn't have the knowledge or courage to be effective, and is self-righteous to a fault. I'm looking forward to how he'll develop as the story goes on.
