That Star Wars fic

[owl]

Some of you remember that I'm currently writing a Han/Leia fic set in the ESB/RotJ period. Very slowly.
At the minute my creativity seems to be low, so I've printed out the scripts of bits that I think are important and retelling them as prose in Leia's PoV. I think some of them have to be there to act as an anchor and bookmark for where the scenes are relative to canon. A couple of questions:

What is your tolerance to retold canon scenes? What proportion of rehashed to original could you stand?
What do you think Vader said to Leia after the door of the dining hall closed on Our Heroes in Cloud City?

My brain seems to have melted.

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to JKR and Harry Potter!!

I had no idea you were writing another SWs fic!! Is it on the boards?

As for your questions:

What is your tolerance to retold canon scenes? What proportion of rehashed to original could you stand?

Personally, I don't mind retold canon scenes at all. Mostly, I enjoy them, in particular when they are retold from the perspective of one character or another, and it's an important element that grounds a fic in canon (if that is the plan). And when it comes to H/L scenes from ESB - well, I love those, so no limit really. ;)

What do you think Vader said to Leia after the door of the dining hall closed on Our Heroes in Cloud City?

Well, I always thought Vader was a pretty pragmatic, doing-rather-than-talking kinda guy, who would only talk if it served a purpose (like convincing Luke that the Dark Side is the way forward) so I imagine he didn't say an awful lot to her. Maybe taunted her a little about meeting again finally, before giving orders to have them taken away to be tortured and stuff. Just my two cents...

No, it's not on the boards, because it's still on a pile of sheets of paper beneath my bed ;)
