In my eternal Legends fangirl mode I have latched onto the much malinged Courtship of Princess Leia and utterly failed at letting it go.

That means I have written pages and pages on both Dathomir and Hapes. Once upon a time I wrote a bunch on Luke and Mara going to have a baby moon on Dathomir and going through an esoteric ritual to come to terms with impending parenthood (this fic is called Thresholds). Part of that fic involved their encounter with a witch and her two mates where one was distinctly unhappy. Eventually with Luke and Mara's intervention, this dude goes off to the Jedi academy at Singing Mountain.

I kind of became invested in this trio and immediately dove into following his story -- one apart from him simply becoming a Jedi, I feel like those are the central stories in canon. I'm more interested in marginalia, smaller stories of self actualization/transformation. Anyway I finished it and will be dropping it bit by bit on my ao3 as A Hearth of Three.

For anyone else interested in Courtship's world I have two more:

Velvet Gloves - set in the Hapan court, in an AU where Luke and Mara get together post JAT, both are invited to investigate the murder of Kirana Ti, former bodyguard of Teneniel Djo new Queen Mother of Hapes. It is narrated by a court insider who has a lot of shade to throw over Teneniel being a Force witch. Kind of a novella of manners.

Stories We Tell - a one shot focusing on a band of free men who run into Luke after he saves them from a Nightsister attack. Narrated by one of the dudes.

It's not that Courtship is ~good, but its exploration of not one but TWO matriarchal societies in the Expanded Universe is pretty unique and fascinating.

Star Wars Legends: Poll of the Week - Crimes of Fashion

Which of these fashion crimes from a Star Wars Legends property is your favorite?

The rejected designs for Mara Jade’s wedding dress, which included a computer-generated dress, a “traditional” design from a Hutt, a neo-Imperial design with a black cape and hood (Leia: “Yes, but the bride doesn’t want to look like the father of the groom”), and one design that was simply a thong and a large bow, which Mara refused to try on (Star Wars: Union comic)

Wes Janson’s cape that he had specially made for him on Adumar, adorned with flatscreen panels that played a holo of “a line of Jansons, arms linked, doing high kicks like a dancing chorus” (X-Wing: Starfighters of Adumar)

Leia Organa’s Kabray dress – which, due to a luggage mixup, was the only dress she had to wear to an important diplomatic banquet – after a group of enthusiastic Zeltrons “fixed” it (read: cut it to pieces and added glitter) to make it more in keeping with Zeltros fashion and to hide the stains on it (Star Wars #95, original Marvel comics)

Prince Isolder of Hapes’ outfit when presenting the Hapan Consortium’s 62 gifts (plus himself, gift #63) to Leia Organa on Coruscant: “He wore a silver circlet that held a black veil in front of his face, and his long, blond hair fell down around his shoulders. The man was bare-chested except for a small silk half-cloak fastened with silver straps…” (The Courtship of Princess Leia)

The disguises for “Yokel Group” (Wedge Antilles, Myn Donos, and Face Loran) of Wraith Squadron, who for a mission dressed up as a group of stereotypical backwater tourists who had traveled from Agamar looking for brides, wearing shirts with loud prints, clashing shorts, and mismatched hats. “Sir, permission to kill Face?” “Granted. But keep your hat, like Face says” (X-Wing: Wraith Squadron)

Hobbie Klivian’s dress outfit to meet the perator of Cartann, “a riot of lines and angles…every hem of every garment was decorated with trim of eye-hurting yellow, making it almost a dizzying experience to look at him walk.” As Hobbie said: “There are three types of dress clothing…the type that offends the wearer, the type that offends the viewers, and the type that offends everybody. I’m going for the third type” (X-Wing: Starfighters of Adumar)

So stoked to get to explore Dathomir in Fallen Order! It’s sort of surreal, though, because my introduction to Dathomir and the Nightsisters wasn’t the Clone Wars series. It was this:

This was my favorite of the EU books as a teen largely because it focused on Han and Leia’s relationship (my very first OTP) and also because it featured a planet of matriarchal, force-wielding, badass ladies. And Han won an entire planet in a card game. (Yes, the planet in question was Dathomir.)

There are some significant differences between book Dathomir and what has since become canon. First, it wasn’t just the Nightsisters on Dathomir - there were clans of Dathomir women whose force magic tapped into the light side, who were also matriarchal. Both sides were interrelated - it was an ideological divide. Second, using the Nightsisters’ type of dark side magic caused visible, physical damage (bruising). (Over all, it was an interesting concept, but some of the writing hasn’t aged well. It was progressive for when it was published in 1994 - not so much by today’s standards.)

Honestly, I like what they’ve done with the Nightsisters since the book for the most part (I do miss the balance of not having the planet be 100% dark siders), but there is one thing that got left out that always disappoints me: In the book, rancors are native to Dathomir (that’s why there’s one on the book cover). And all those badass, force-wielding ladies? They rode rancors. They kept them as massive, lethal pets. It was the best thing ever.

I was hoping that maybe - just maybe - Fallen Order might throw in a rancor somewhere to fight. Or even just seen shambling in the distance. But no dice.

Le sad.

Merrin deserves a terrifying rancor to ride in style.

Wes Janson: Hey Wedge, wanna check out the latest top songs?

Wedge Antilles: I would prefer not to.

Wes Janson: C’mon, Wedge. You’re not that old. How about this one, “the Virtues of King Han Solo”?

Wedge Antilles: Wait, the what?

Wes Janson: *singing* Han Solo, what a man! Solo. He’s every Princess’s dream! Heh, that’s a catchy tune.

Wedge Antilles: What in the wilderness of Corellia is that all about?

Wes Janson: Squeaky recommended it to me. Says a friend of his made this song.

Wedge Antilles: Well I don’t wanna know. Just hurry and leave the ’fresher. You’re driving me mad.

From Hapes comes a handsome prince, offering wealth, wonders, and a proposal that would be hard to refuse... or wouldn't it?

My take on how "The Courtship of Princess Leia" should have begun (and ended).

but I'm reading it now and I'm happy to report that, as it turns out, it's much, much worse 😌
