Hi fellow WC lovers. I just subscribed to this forum hoping to find WC experts or gurus that could help me with a question.
I have visited the WC world in the past now and then but recently it came to me if anyone could be able to browse the whole WC universe from the beginning to the end. First there are the games, and then there is the 1999 movie and the cartoon series, and some novels.
Let's say that I am a "prequel-first" person. Whenever I dive in the Star Wars universe, I always watch the new movies first and then the originals. In every fiction I choose to do the same: first determine the supposed date of each media and then follow it, and no, I don't care about spoilers or resulting retcons and inconsistencies
So I wonder if something like this is possible for the WC saga. Sure we have the games from 1 to 5 and then there is Privateer some decades after the saga, but what about fiction before and between each part?
I understand the WCA cartoon series (Blair's academy years) comes first, followed by the live action movie (Blair comes to Tiger's Claw). Then, do we proceed to the 1st game? Or is there some prequel novel happening just before it? Do we follow the games from 1 to 5, or are there any intermediate novels?
And of course the games allow you different courses of action, but has there been determined an optimal or canonical one? Did Blair succeed in all his missions, or not? Is any novel referring to events resulting from a failed game mission?
I hope this is not too confusing or demanding and you can understand the worries of a fellow fan. I also hope there is an answer to all this
