First up, I’m sorry. I have been absent from the site for 3 years now and I’m sorry. Three years can cause a lot of site rot (and it has), so bear with the broken parts and rough edges as I get the web site on its feet again.

While you wait, most of the things on the web site should work. Click around. The image gallery is always fun; as are our old articles on the soon to be revived fan magazine Pod Race Arena. Check out some fine book reviews or maybe something else. In any case, enjoy yourself until we return to regularly scheduled broadcast—kw=prequels star wars—>

For the romantic book readers out there, here’s one for the record books. I’ll let the book speak for itself. It opens:

In my opinion, there are three truly great philosophers. Aristotle, Confucius, and Yoda. I didn’t know about Aristotle and Confucius until high school, but I grew up steeped in Yoda’s ideology.

StarWarsShop.com has a lot of merchandise from the Celebration; the afghan rug and the water bottle are classics! Check out more here. (more…)

Dan Madsen, former editor of the Insider has launched a web site to host a letter to thank George Lucas for sharing his saga with us. While I wouldn’t go as far as hosting a web site solely for that purpose, I do believe my web site itself is it’s own ‘thank you’ to the maker.

They have T-Shirts, posters, buttons and flyers to take to your Revenge lines.

A few things to enjoy while you are here:

Expect lots of cool updates next week!

Two weeks until the final film of the saga! I’ve missed out on a lot of the pre-movie hype this time (life intervened), but that has left me absolutely spoiler-free. I don’t know anything besides the names of the toys that came out last month. No planet names, no character names (besides Grievous) and not much else. All I know is this: Anakin will become Darth Vader!

Send me your Celebration III experiences, pictures and stuff! Also, anyone in the Boston area going to a midnight screening? Write me!
