Here are some wild things past Star Wars novelizations have confirmed about the franchise over the years.
Based on the UK series of the same name, The Office became one of the most popular comedies on NBC. Covering the mundane workdays of the employees of the Scranton Branch of Dunder-Mifflin, audiences grew to love the everyday lives of the employees. The series became more than just an office sitcom. Audiences learned much more about the personal lives of each character and grew to love them. After the departure of actor Steve Carell from the role of Michael Scott, the series continued on with new cast members but the same hilarious antics. Even in its final hours, the show gave audiences the perfect closer to its nine years on the air, even including the return of favorite characters from over the years.
Characters need goals to become sympathetic. Those goals reach the viewer and help them align with the character on an emotional level. From here, the character will progress and regress over some time. Some characters grow episode to episode. Some characters take seasons to develop, and others take an entire series. Part of what makes Naruto so unique is its ability to juggle so many characters with different goals and keep the fans invested. One of the most significant examples is Hinata Hyuga.
The Losers Club consisted of a group of children from Derry, who grouped together following being ostracized by their community. Consisting of Bill, Beverly, Richie, Eddie, Mike, Stan Uris, and Ben, the group vowed to stick together through everything. Especially when it came to a sinister spirit who manifested as a dancing clown. Following their adolescent escapade against It, the Losers Club vowed to return to Derry to defeat "It" when he returned after twenty-seven years.
Grand Theft Auto V may be celebrating its 6 year anniversary this September, but the game has continued to attract gamers to this day. Originally released in September 2013, Grand Theft Auto V allows gamers to play as three different criminals, Michael, Trevor, and Franklin, who commit heists in the city of Los Santos.
Jiraiya is always underappreciated in the full canon of Naruto. Many other legendary shinobi end up topping fan’s list of favorites. In comparison, the Toad Sage appears not to stack up. Comparing him to Hashirama or Hiruzen makes him seem silly and simplified. Even Might Guy stands out more than Jiraiya at points. Sometimes the most general fan simply overlooks the great Sannin.
First in The Vampire Diaries and then in The Originals, Elijah Mikaelson was known as the honorable Original vampire. Unlike his unpredictable and threatening siblings, Klaus and Rebekah, Elijah had a noble demeanor that contradicted his vampire nature. Always impeccably dressed in a suit and tie and speaking in a formal cadence that gave weight to his pronouncements, Elijah came across as the only Original with a moral compass. While his brother Klaus was considered the worst of the worse and Rebekah was viewed with constant suspicion, Elijah did his best to keep his word and earn others’ trust. Yet, as much as Elijah wanted to live up to the persona he’d created for himself, he frequently failed — and often his victims discovered too late that his principled exterior was an illusion.
By far, the most tight-knit, happy family in the Harry Potter universe is the Weasley clan. Fans are meant to bond with the whole brood, falling in love with how happy and supporting they are. It's clear the characters love them, too, considering how many heroes marry into the family of wholesome red-heads.
While The Twilight Saga focuses mainly on the plight of Bella Swan and her future in-laws the Cullens, as well as the conflict between them, the Quileute shapeshifters, and the Volturi, there is plenty of drama to go around between the peripheral characters-- so much that one even had an entire novella written about her. Bree Tanner, star of the Twilight spinoff novel The Second Short Life of Bree Tanner, is one of the series' most tragic characters. She reminds us how brutal the Volturi really are as well as the consequences for those vampires who are ignorant of the culture's rules. She's also an example of what can happen to a young vampire without a support system, giving us insight why so many vampires aren't like the Cullen family, and also how naive Bella really can be.
When it comes to the ever-expansive Star Wars universe, Master Yoda is certainly known for being one of the most iconic characters in the franchise. For years, the wise Jedi Master has shared knowledge with younglings and seasoned Jedi Knights alike, and many details about Yoda have been shrouded in mystery, including what type of species he is. Yoda was first introduced to fans in The Empire Strikes Back, where he is best known for his rigorous training of Luke Skywalker.
