A New Hope from a Post-Prequel 7-year Old

Posted by DevanJedi in Films/Prequels on June 11th, 2005

This story comes via Slashdot from the desk of Ghent on the new Star Wars blogs. Ghent’s 7-year old son had interesting observations regarding the original trilogy after having watched the prequels:

“Is Chewbacca the only Wookiee that survives the Clone Wars?” (with great concern)

Tie Fighter Case Mod + Table

Posted by DevanJedi in Collecting on June 4th, 2005

Dave Barry’s TIE Fighter PC mod + deskThrough this story at Slashdot, I found this fantastic winner of a sci-fi PC case-mod competition at ExtremeTech. In his (Dave Barry of NY) own words:
My case mod is a scale model of a Star Wars TIE Fighter, with a computer built right into the cockpit. And, it’s also a desk! The whole case is built from scratch. As a die-hard Star Wars fan, I knew my first mod would have to incorporate something from Star Wars, and I could think of nothing cooler than a TIE Fighter. I got the blueprints online and got to work.

On Aaron Allston

Posted by DevanJedi in Books on June 2nd, 2005

Recently a journalist named Jeff Salamon contacted me about to get a feel for what I though about Aaron Allston’s books; I never heard back from him but I recently googled him and found this article in the Austin American-Statesman newspaper. Nice to know he did get his piece out there. This is what I sent him earlier in May:
