Canon, or Expanded Universe?  If just canon, then fall of the Old Republic = First Apocalypse.  Second Apocalypse ends with destruction of Emperor Palpatine and second death star.  PLEASE don't let there be any ewok analogues in TUC...
No whistling on the slog!

EU, while we can still talk about it without Disney shutting us the fuck down ;).

solo and HE have some great thoughts about TSA/Star Wars parallels and I was thinking of them while I made the thread. solo's suggested that Bakker would be about Wookies over Ewoks though :P.

ACT VI: Return of the Cishaurim

Lol, I just mentioned Star Wars in the James S A Corey thread ;D

This is what legitimately gave me the inspiring twinge :P.

Last night someone I was talking to described the force as plot in it's purest, most direct form.

Why is that? Something to do with it being a somewhat direct connection to the Author's purpose?

I would have thought Shae/Emperor and Aurang/Darth as the set of decrepit lord and evil agent in the world.

No-God = Death Star?
