Book: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story by Alexander Freed Based on a story by John Knoll and Gary Whitta Screenplay written by Chris Weitz and Tony Gilroy Film directed by Gareth Edwards Music: "Jedha Arrival" by Michael Giacchino Lyrics: A long time ago in a galaxy far away / Alexander Freed hath captured a masterpiece / On papyrus from the screen / Of Cassian and Jyn's valorous path to their destiny / See, these rebels were rebels before rebels were en vogue, son / Okay, you a rebel, but what's a rebel to a Rogue One? . . / A father-daughter story; a fallen martyr's glory / The strongest stars have hearts that could spark the swords / Of Skywalkers and Obi-Wans, but also could form the scourge / Of Alderaan, and that's the kicker; the Emperor's planet killer / The engineer inserted a monkeywrench in the system / And sent a Rook to sneak this secret weakness to a bishop / Who slant-passed to the queen who would ransack Krennic / So he could die at the hands of his own calamitous vision / The takeaway, friends, is as a film and a novelization / This is way more amazing than Force Awakens / If you say this is less than an A, then I say / Bor Gullet; know why? 'Cause no lie is safe . . The 4th edition of #16BarBookReports doubles as the 1st edition of #16BarCinema as I tribute one of my lifelong obsessions: #starwars ! Here, I reviewed #rogueone as film and novelization. Enjoy, and may the Bars be with you!  #StarWarsRogueOne #16BarBookReport #AlexanderFreed #bookreview #bookreviews #StarWarsbooks #starwarsfan #starwarsfans @rogueone @starwars @starwarsrogueone @starwarsfan @starwarsfans #starwarsday #starwarsbookreviews #johnknoll #garywhitta #chrisweitz #tonygilroy #GeorgeLucas @georgelucas #michaelgiacchino @michaelgiacchino #starwarsfanart @starwarsfanart #jedha #jedhaarrival

#SpoofSchool #16BarBookReports presents #MindOfMyMind by #octaviabutler Music: "Lovely Head" by Goldfrapp @goldfrappmusic @alison_goldfrapp Lyrics: Doro, you done created a monster / But be she the disease or the doctor? / The truth or the consequence? Because she gets into your mind and then / That's how this Patternist design begins / Ever wish they all could be California girls? / Well be careful what you wish for / 'Cause you never know what Mary has in store / Not a little lamb, a little lamentation; revolution revelation / The first family of telepaths / Versus the grand bodysnatcher / All at the hands of the master black science fiction crafter / Octavia Butler, rest in peace, Madame / Mind Of My Mind, 'cause your mind is my mind / And my mind is your mind once you come to Forsyth / Will Mary make madness or music? / Well she can do anything once she puts your mind to it . . . @octaviabutlerbookclub #16BarBookReport #patternist #patternistseries (at Northeast Washington, Washington, District of Columbia)

Greene be a strategist I recommend / The Machiavellian heir apparent in the flesh is him / 33 ways to attack or counteract / The war is on; if you ain't won, you lost / Notice the worn cover; this be my third reading / 'Cause I'm a sworn lover of these words and teachings / We can benefit from history as long as we / Don't try to relive the past or refight the last war / That's the second strategy, and 32 more / Will urge you to explore analysis of tactics in due course / On the battlefield, there was no one better than / Napoleon, but off the field, he was bettered by Metternich / So will you be the Mongol horde violent sort of tyrant or / Will you learn to negotiate for life's rewards? / From Lyndon Johnson to Gandhi / Muhammad Ali to Haile Selassie / No one breaks it down like Robert Greene Nah'MEAN?!
