Some new minis news this past week:
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Essential Endnotes
Jason Fry's Star Wars Essential Guide to Warfare was recently released. I haven't made it out to the store to pick it up yet, but will in the near future. Jason is now posting endnotes for the volume, which for certain types of fans and professional freelancers, can be highly interesting and informative.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - April Fun
Another April, another bit of fun. I decided to join in rather later this year, on April 1. I might have done it sooner, but frankly, it sort of snuck up on me, and I didn't get a good idea until the day of. So, it's probably less polished than it might have been, but with limited time, I went with what worked.
Read MoreStar Wars Wendsday-ish - SWRPG Old School Renaissance!
Forgive the unusual timing, but this news couldn't quite wait until my regular Wednesday post. Star Wars roleplaying is about to enter the Old School Renaissance!
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Planet Comicon & Blockade Nebulon-B
KC's local major comic book convention was this past weekend. Planet Comicon is a growing show, and they've continued to get good Star Wars related guests over the years. I skipped last year, due to job hunting. I almost skipped this year due to other obligations, but my wife prodded me into going anyway.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Gemini Assault Lander
Way back in August 2011, I started to stat out Christopher West's Mass Transit III map starships and vehicles. Well, I finally got back to them tonight. Hopefully, the next won't take nearly as long to get to, but no promises. So, here's the Gemini-class Tandem Assault Lander, from the back of Mass Transit III. Enjoy.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Starwars.com Blog Closing
I got the official word of something I expected to happen long ago. The Starwars.com blogs are going away in 60 days. Starting in 2005, I posted regularly there in a blog called Delusions of Grandeur, as Silverforce.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Ralph McQuarrie
Last week marked the passing of Ralph McQuarrie, the visionary artist behind a huge percentage of the works that established the visual style of Star Wars. Given that I've looked at his work since the 70s, I wanted to share some thoughts.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Clone Wars and Sidecars
So, being tired from a lot of stuff happening lately, I took some time tonight to catch up on the Clone Wars episodes piling up on the DVR. Watching several at a time, especially those that are linked story arcs, actually makes it easier to follow along. This is especially true for story arcs resurface weeks after they left off.
So, you know, spoiler alert for those who haven't seen up to the most recent episodes (or some of the less recent episodes, like I said, they were stacked up and some were missed the first time they were broadcast).
Star Wars Wednesday - See ya CL...
It's been awhile since I posted anything directly gaming related that didn't include a link, so today, I'll switch things up a bit. Back to gaming talk....but you still get a link.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Episode I 3D
This past week saw the opening of Episode I: The Phantom Menace in 3D, so of course, I headed out to see it. Slight spoiler alert for comments on 3D.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - More Talnar's Rescue & Interview
Well, it's not even close to Wednesday this week, but chances are, if I change it to Star Wars Weekly, it will become soon become Star Wars Monthly.
So, I received word recently that the Threat Detected podcast has posted the last section of the interview they started with me regarding Talnar's Rescue and Saga Edition in general, last fall. You can find a list of links here. Thread Detected also posts a lot of Saga stats related to the games they are playing, so Saga players should keep them in mind when looking for new resources.
Star Wars Wednesday - Clone Wars aids
Another quick post this week, so here's some advice on keeping up with the ever more complex Clone Wars storylines.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Kenobi's Difficulties
SPOILER ALERT! This week's entry includes comments on last week's Clone Wars episode.

Star Wars news is everywhere recently.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - KOTOR is Back
The Old Republic is everywhere lately. In this case, is the Knights of the Old Republic making its return to comic book store shelves. This week marks the release of that to the Knights of the Old Republic: War, by John Jackson Miller.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - 2012 Outlook
Looking ahead for this year, I'm contemplating how best to use this weekly feature.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - 2011 End of the Year Grab Bag
With my blog at starwars.com, I often ended the year with a grab bag post of odds and ends. Here is this year's version....
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - The Old Republic...LAUNCH!
There's only one topic this week for all Star Wars gamers - the actual launch of The Old Republic MMO. The game is up and running...and you're probably already behind the level curve, trying to figure out the game. Unless you were in the beta, of course, which means you're probably slightly ahead, except where you hit the things that changed since beta...
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - The Old Republic Begins
Well, almost. While I my early play approval came through today for Bioware's highly anticipated Star Wars MMO The Old Republic, the fact that I didn't get around to preloading the game means its still downloading. At the rate its going, I may be lucky to play during the early play period. Really, the preorder thing would have worked better for me to just get the disks in the mail, load it up and then download the updates. By the time I get them, they'll be nearly useless, unless I have to reinstall some day (which is possible).
