I just watched a new trailer for SWTOR and it looks the best yet
Malgas is so deceptive!

I just finished watching The Force was Rudely Awoken for the umpteenth time.....And the more I watch the Mouse Wars Trilogy, the more I am certain of several things: 1) I enjoy the movies on their own for what they are....But this "trilogy" is NOT nor will it ever be part of what I consider the "Skywalker Saga" (That was Eps 1 to 6. The Phantom Menace (as awful as that was) through to Return of the Jedi). This new Disney Trilogy is just that. A new trilogy with new characters having new adventures. Sure some OG characters are thrown in for cameo appearances and nostalgia but they have little if anything to do with this new trilogy and cast of characters. 2) JJ Abrams is an unoriginal hack and Ruin Rian? JOhnson is a self-obsessed Nerf Hearder who doesn't give bantha fodder about what fans wanted to see or what was already established in canon and lore. He was going to do his damnedest to shove his middle finger in the faces of fans and only make the movie that he wanted to see. 3) Given that there were two different Directors each with his own narrow mind who both wanted to say "Screw You!" to each other.....First Number 7 was JJ's baby, then Rian came along and essentially said "I don't care about what you've done and the plot points you've opened up....I don't even care what fans want to see, and I certainly don't give two Death Sticks about what is already established. I'm going to subvert and twist and ignore everything you think should happen and do what I WANT. Just because I can. " And then Abrams came back for #9 to try and right the ship that he'd started to create once again imposing his view of things and even seeming to over-write what Johnson did....And all-in-all, if taken as a whole....This so-called Trilogy is just one huge convoluted mess. There is no cohesian. And especially in 9, the dialogue is grating. It gets on my nerves, especially with the bitching and whinning and nattering that goes back and forth between Finn and Poe. Personally, I think those successive scenes where the two of them just bickered back and forth about nothing important really dragged the movie down even more than it was heading already. The more I watch especially #9....the more I don't like it and the more I realize what a horrible movie it was. Just bad. In my mind the beating heart of the STAR WARS franchise that I have since I was 2 years old....Is far and away the Original Trilogy. The Prequils told an interesting story about the Clone Wars and Anakin's fall (which was aluded to in ANH with what was always a growing air of mystery and wonder for me) and then there was the amazing Clone Wars series....So the Prequels helped flesh out a story about the Skywalker family. But the OT will always be what I think of when I think of "STAR WARS". On a totally different note....I have thus far enjoyed such Disney additions as Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett. Personally I am very much looking forward to the series on Ahsoka and even Patty Jenkins ROGUE SQUADRON movie if that is ever brought back.

Personally I am very much looking forward to the series on Ahsoka and even Patty Jenkins ROGUE SQUADRON movie if that is ever brought back. Just thinking about Disney Wars makes me want to reread the Heir to the Empire trilogy... Now.....The Empire Trilogy or even The Jedi Academy Trilogy.......Heck ANY of the old EU books would make amazing movie material! I had all of the original books from The Truce at Bakura through to the Corellian Trilogy (cinluding the entire series of nine original X-Wing novels that were shoe-horned between). I read each of them many times over the years.....for over a decade they were the only books I would read, and in its very original first rough draft outline....my stories called THe Zoland Chronicles were loosely based on the missing pieces and glimpses of Mara Jades backstory. Then the more I read the Empire Trilogy....the more I realized that to do this would be to be copying Zahn's work and I didn't want to simply rehash what he had done especially since I enjoyed it so throughly. So I scrapped everything I had (some 80 pages of 11.5 x 14 Legal paper handwritten back to front) and started completely fresh creeating my own characters, plot, timeline, setting.....Even going as far as setting it in a new galaxy beyond Willd Space. Everything to make sure these stories were completely of my own creation. In the years since I began that work in September of 1996 when I first entered Grade 9, I have gone on to change, deepen and expand the story even more. It is now my own six story Saga, one that I happily continue to work on to this very day. It is a labour of passion, I look forward each weekend to spending time with the characters I have created.....Though often I imagine the day when I make the final key stroke and can call this journey complete. I guarentee that I will on that day because I have spent the better part of my life writing these stories and being with these characters. The day that I make the final keystroke....will be the day that these adventures will be over. It is a dream of mine (literally...I have had dreams about this) to see my stories made into feature length movies witht he same visual style and quality of TOR Cinematics. But back to reality.....It is enough for me that they come to life in my imagination.

what would the Jedi (or Sith) say about Peanut Butter/Chocolate Chip combined? (like chocolate chips in a peanut butter cookie)? Because that's what we had in the house last week, just finished them this weekend past. Would I be considered a "Gray Jedi" ?
