January 2nd, 2014465HAPPY 2014! A new year is upon us. A clean slate. Make your resolutions yet? Me neither. To be perfectly honest, I gave up on doing that a few years ago. But that's neither here nor there. Thinking about New Year's resolutions, however, got me thinking about what resolutions some of our favorite characters might make. Read on to...
December 17th, 2013256 Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn aboard Nute Gunray’s ship... Obi-Wan: I have a bad feeling about this. Qui-Gon: I don’t sense anything. Obi-Wan: It’s not about the mission, Master, it’s something ... elsewhere ... elusive ... Qui-Gon: ... Keep your concentration here and now where it belongs. Obi-Wan: Master Yoda...

November 15th, 20131062 Quite a while ago in a galaxy not all that far from me... I was invited to meet an individual for lunch one chilly, Sunday afternoon during the holiday season.

October 1st, 2013059Hello there! Right about now I feel like Ben Kenobi when he came upon R2D2 (and Luke Skywalker, of course, but it was R2 to whom Ben was speaking) in one of the canyons of the Jundland Wastes. It was the Force ... or Destiny ... Happenchance ... or just good ol’ plain Luck. However you choose to look at it, separate beings were...
