What is the Point of the Sith?
What is the point of the Sith? They don’t seem to have a goal they’re reaching towards, except for opposing the Jedi. Meaning they seem to be one-dimensional villains that only exist for the purpose of story. They act as a counterpart to the Jedi. In fact, their credo exactly mirrors all their traits. No empathy, just ambition and power and victory. But to what end? What do they want? Keep in mind, Sith is not the Galactic Empire.
How Much World-Building Is Too Much?
Originally published 7/3/2024 on ericjuneaubooks.com This Tumblr post asks an interesting question that I’ve always wondered about — how much world-building is too much? World-building is a big part of fantasy. The idea of an alternate Earth is fascinating. The problem is that, if Earth did evolve differently, that world would be so alien it would be incomprehensible. There is a line where the world goes beyond one’s grasp. Now some people like that sort of thing.
Some Thoughts on Trigger Warnings
Eric Juneau · Follow 5 min read · -- Originally published 11/23/2023 on ericjuneaubooks.com I’ve never experienced enough trauma to need a trigger warning. To be like, I was just reading this book and all of a sudden the main character got sexually assaulted or had an eating disorder and I suddenly recalled some bad memories.

I mean, they didn’t even do a good job filing off the serial numbers. They shamelessly refer to nothing but twentieth-century Earth pop culture like nothing in the past four hundred years made a difference. None of the characters act like they come from a military or a utopia.
Who Puts the Gun Down First?
Eric Juneau · Follow 7 min read · -- Originally published 12/10/2020 on ericjuneaubooks.com So in the wake of the election, there is this zeitgeist happening. Now that (hopefully) politics are returning to usual, how do we mend the divide that’s cleaved the country the past four years? The election wasn’t close, but it wasn’t a landslide either. Trump and the GOP still gained a resounding collection of votes. They gained a few seats in the house and didn’t lose the Senate majority.
Can You Separate Art From the Artist?
Eric Juneau · Follow 4 min read · -- Originally published 03/22/2023 on ericjuneaubooks.com It’s a question I’ve tried to answer before, both directly and peripherally. And the answer seems to change as I learn more about life. Right now, my answer is “no”. And here’s why. Take this thought exercise. There are two paintings in a gallery, both are for sale. They both look exactly the same, down to the brushstroke. Same image, same colors, same frame. You can’t tell the two apart.
