I'm guessing the Tolkien books are in the library, although there may not be enough copies for everyone. I have digital copies on my computer - the trilogy and also The Hobbit - if anyone would like to read them on their tablet. Just let me know.

I was also thinking we should screen the movies, if we have them, even though there might be inaccuracies (if we're visiting the book world). Because it might be hard for new readers to get through 3-4 books in the two days before we hit the port.

A good point, I suppose. If I understand you correctly, then, we're not likely to cause a cultural incident if we learn said culture through one source only if this version of the world coincides with the ones typically found in fiction.

I think what I'm saying is, any source of information about this world has equal chances of being accurate, and all of them will probably be accurate to at least a certain degree. So I'd recommend trying whatever kind of source you think you could personally get the most information from -- whether you're better with books or movies or just want to get a few notes from someone who's read and seen them.

But no matter how much information we have there's always a chance of a cultural incident. Fictional sources on any world will only give you so much.

That's the truth. We could go to my world and I could tell everyone everything I know about it and we'd still have a problem. We just have too many different kinds of people, someone somewhere is going to have trouble fitting in.

It only takes one. Even a trained diplomat can inadvertently start a war.

Sounds like something you've had experience with. More than me, anyway.

Jedi are often called upon to handle diplomatic negotiations.

My apologies. I've failed to properly introduce myself. Qui-Gon Jinn.

A pleasure, Mr. Winchester. I take it this world we're visiting is an old friend of yours.

In a manner of speaking. I read the books about it when I was a kid, and I've reread them multiple times since then, and also saw the movies. The books are some of my favorites.

They're really good. I feel like they could charm a Jedi, too.

Then I suppose I should give them a once-over.

As I said, you're welcome to have one of my digital copies. They're easy to share.
