This weekend was something of a tsunami of creativity for me. On Thursday my friend Andrew Gilbertson announced the release of Chapter 3 of his audio drama Star Wars: Marvels*. So I decided to listen to the first chapter and halfway through became inspired to start writing on something I’ve been wanting to write for a long time, an audio adaptation of Patricia A. Jackson’s short Star Wars story “Uhl Eharl Khoehng,” a story about the Brandl family who is caught up in the machinations of the Emperor’s Jedi Hunting group called the Inquisitors, and about a rebel captain Fable Astin who falls in love with Brandl’s son Jaalib, an accomplished actor. It is loosely based on one of Shakespeare’s plays (I forget exactly which) and it comes out as truly Shakespearian in nature, and it is that quality that has made it stick in the mind of many a Star Wars fan since its publication in the Star Wars Adventure Journals in the 90′s.

So I did.
