Thanks! I'll give that a shot. :)

I'd say you show just read the entire series. There's a dip in quality after book 4, as discussed, but it's well worth it anyway because it's cool and crazy and a fun ride.

Besides, the backstory won't have nearly the same impact unless you've already been immerses into the universe from the three previous books.

It's been awhile since I read the books, but I thought that whenever Roland used his pistols it was a pretty big deal, like something that would only happen once or twice in each novel.

From the trailer I'm getting a Star Wars vibe where lightsabres battles were treated with reverence like a samurai duel in the OT, only to become a overused spastic glowstick fest in the prequels.

I'm hoping the actual movie will be more low-key than the trailers, but it probably won't not be an action summer blockbuster thing.

It's definitely not all 8 books in one 95min movie

It's probably just the same old executive meddling story that's ruined so many promising productions.
