: That longform vision alone is exciting. But what’s more, they’re going to
: weave this story through cartoons and books and comics, making every piece
: of side story count. Star Wars has too long been a central series of
: movies surrounded by absolutely disposable books, comics and games. No
: more. You won’t have to know that stuff to follow the main story, but if
: you do know that stuff you’re going to be rewarded. As a nerd I like
: knowing that stuff, and I like knowing it counts.
: I can't even imagine that Halo is even really the first big franchise to do
: such a thing.
I have a feeling that Halo, like Star Wars, is doing all of this too late. The people who care have moved on :-(
