celebration vi

I had a fantastic time at Celebration V, and eventually worked out a way to go again this year. Though they were held once every 3 years, I hear they're moving it to every two years, as it was this time around. Hopefully, it won't always be the week after GenCon. That said, it will probably be the week OF GenCon at some point.
Anyway, having nearly not fully rested up from GenCon the week before, not to mention the day job in between, I hopped an early Thursday flight, to arrive just before noon.
Or not. Star Wars Battleship isn't exactly a happening item these days*. Just couldn't pass up the title.
So, I'm busy this week with a short deadline freelance project, and, correspondingly, a bit short of time. Fortunately, there has been a ton of Star Wars news this week worthy of noting here, all ready to bail me out. In almost no particular order**:
