Ahahaha that's funny…it seems everything connects back to Star Wars these days.  :) Maybe George Lucas is the God of fiction.

Whatever. You can hurt me. But you can't destroy me. Therefore I can torture you endlessly.  :P

What I was alluding to was that Rand's Character arc has taken through a lot of different personas including elements from Mua-dib, Arthur (though really Arthur is Hawkwing) and Belgarion.  At the end of KoD I think this composite arc was starting to imitate Covenant circa White Gold Wielder.  Except I think he may imitate Thom in his first trip.  Think Hurtloam, and the "fathering" of Elena. . .

I dunno I may agree on the respect that the characters in SW were alot more human and relatable then the LOTR characters.

Could that be due to the fact that only 2 of the 9 main characters are, in fact, human? 

Anyway, I like the title "The Gathering Storm".  It gives a sense that the big finish is finally coming. 
I wanted to write something profound here, but I couldn't think of anything.

No since other Non-human characters  I do find relatible, like Loial for instance.
