LucasArts' Ward Talks Wii Lightsaber Game
How awesome would that be? Between this and Cooking Mama Cookoff, we may just have to get a Wii.

My Brush with Fame
Adam over at Galactic Hunter answered my question about the STUPID RUBBER LEGS on the recent wave of Astromech droids. Check it out. (It's about a third of the way down the page.)
Thanks, man. I'll start my complaining today! (Well, officially, at least... I have been complaining quietly for some time...)

Sounds of Star Wars
Somebody edited together the "top ten" sounds of Star Wars. I think the top of the list is pretty good, but I'm not so sure that Wat Tambor and Poggle the Lesser really deserve to be on it. IMO, any of these are cooler than those two entries:
- Jawas, specifically "Utinni!"
- Wookiees
- Blast Doors

Comic Pack R2
I recently picked up the "comic pack" version of R2-D2. These figures are included with a comic book (which I don't really care about), and are painted in the style of their comic book representations.
This is a good sculpt (based on the modern R4-G9 astromech sculpt), even those it still uses the stupid rubber legs.
The paint is, well, comic book-y. I don't really know why the comics don't use a closer representation of the regular R2 colors, or why the paint on this figure doesn't really even match what's in the comic. But oh well.
In the end, it's kind of a cool take on R2, and if you want you can pretend it's a completely different droid, like R0-D9 or something. But why won't they just make a regular R2 on this sculpt??? Please???

Fanboys
Like every other Star Wars fanboy, I am highly anticipating the release of Fanboys. Here is a trailer/sneak peak of the film that was shown at Celebration IV:
(I love that you can hear the cheers of the audience when the protagonists run over the Star Trek statue.)
And here is a trailer (?) for a documentary (?) about the making of Fanboys:
Looks like great fun. Also, hard to go wrong with Kristen Bell in the gold bikini.

So would (-o-o-) be a TIE Bomber?
As you might expect, I have been known to buy an action figure or two on eBay. I take my eBay reputation very seriously, so it pleased me when a recent seller gave me this feedback:
(-o-) Impressive........Most Impressive (-o-) A+ RECOMMENDED!!
Maybe I'm just out of step, but I think that was the first time I saw the "Advanced TIE Fighter" emoticon. (-o-)
