This week, Holostar co-author Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff continues her Force-centered entries to A Padawan's Journal with entry #20. Click here to read "Dark and Light—the Great Debate." Excerpt below...


"Another bit of theorizing about the nature of the Force that causes occasional ripples in same, is the debate about whether there really is a “dark side” and a “light side” or whether the darkness lies within a particular Force adept. Some fans see the Force as coming in two distinct flavors—deep, dark chocolate and gleaming vanilla—and the suggestion that it’s neutral or entirely benign and that the wielder (read: filter) is the source of any coloration is just short of blasphemy. There is no debate. Period. End of story."


A Padawan's Journal will continue soon with thoughts on just what a "holostar" actually is.

The book with such a title is scheduled to hit bookshelves in early 2011.
