![]() ![]() ![]() Very interesting. Can't recall if I've read this fic before. The name and summary seem familiar, but this first chapter certainly doesn't. Looking forward to reading more. |

![]() ![]() In case this isn't dead: the "timeline" (a/n in chap 1) makes no sense; 26bby can't be before 33 bby! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Unfortunately you fall into the trap so many authors and creators do and it drives people like me crazy. You use rich world with so many possibilities that are or should be known to the characters and then forgo all of them to pigeon-hole an outcome you want without any real explanation as to why x, y and/or z actions were not taken to prevent whatever problem/accident/tragedy you are using as a point of drama for the story. In this case you bring the Harry Potter world "magic" into the Star Wars universe and then almost never use it to any real extent that it could be used and thus artificially create far more problems for Harry & gang than are necessary or would otherwise be faced if they were to actually use their magic to their full capability. The magic yo do use, you have artificially neutered to the point of near uselessness rendering it pointless to have brought magic in the first place. You reinforce this appearance of the less usefulness of magic quite clearly in how you show how much Harry and Luna use the fewer and more limited Jedi force abilities far more than the much more flexible magic abilities they have. This in turn can cause the story to bog down in places where the reader is left wanting to pull out their hair demanding why a, b, or c weren't tried/done with magic instead of limiting themselves to Jedi powers. Some specific examples would be impervious charms, space expansion charms, confundus, and obliviate and they are just a few that could have been used to great affect repeatedly through the story so far. There are also runes and even basic enchantments that could be used to great effect. Instead Harry and company keep repeatedly getting shot up, shot down, stranded at x location with yet more repairs and rather than using magic to hide everything while doing repairs they leave themselves open to attack from their pursuers for even more losses to be taken. They never seem to change their tactics or learn anything new that is all that effective. This in turn makes the story far less exciting than it could otherwise be. I have kept pushing myself just one more chapter for more than 6 or 7 chapters now hoping to see them learn something new or come up with some real ideas to use magic more effectively than the joke it has been shown to be so far in any form of combat. Sadly my frustration and boredom has reached its limits and I am going to move on now. Good luck with the rest of your story. Let me suggest you check out some other Star Wars/HP crossovers that do a great job at bringing Harry Potter into the Star Wars universe: "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" , "The Havoc side of the Force" , and "Magic of the Force" are among my favorites and do a great job of bringing magic into the SW universe in such a way that it has a real impact rather than more often than not being little more than farting into the wind. |
![]() ![]() ![]() You made a bit of a mistake in this where you had Sirius declaring himself admiral because of capturing more ships and then LATER have Harry stating that he would now want to be a commodore. FYI, admiral is a higher rank than commodore. A commodore is basically a fleet/battle-group captain. So you are in essence having Harry saying that Sirius will now want to be a lower rank with the additional warship being added. |
![]() ![]() ![]() im tired of clicking the "Read more here" and not sending me to another site. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Why didn't harry use magic in his battle against the droids bombards and other spells would have been more useful than whatever he did that get him injured |
![]() ![]() ![]() You know Voldemort and most the adult magicals can cast non verbally Voldemort even can do Wandlass magic also why did you replace Harry's wand why didn't harry go after the deathly hallows I mean a cloak that can hide you from pretty much everything and a stone that could summon the spirit of the dead and the most powerful wand ever ,also how did Susan dies your conclusion of the plot of Harry potter isn't really satisfing and was short I mean you could have pushed the star wars plot to give them more time training their magic because while Remus and Sirius both brilliant and accomplished wizards they aren't experts also you do realize that they could reattach Luna's hand usi |
![]() ![]() ![]() Very super |
