Another week, another Star Wars announcement! Plus new info from the past, and FFG announces their GenCon events.

I seem to have fouled up my graphics portfolio on the site, so those links will not work until further notice. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Star Wars Wednesday - Sandcrawler Buildings
Ok, so it's not really Wednesday anywhere at this point, but yesterday was one of those rapid one-day, flight filled trips to a job site that consumed the day, and I didn't even technically return on Wednesday thanks to delays. Anyway, this week is such a strange collisions of my interests, that I couldn't not say something....there has been another sandcrawler building sighting.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - SWXP
This past weekend, I had a great time at Fantasy Flight Games' Star Wars Game Experience. Hosted at their own Event Center, SWXP featured all three of FFG's Star Wars Games: Star Wars: The Card Game, X-Wing Miniatures and Edge of the Empire RPG. Of course, this was held appropriately on May 4th, or May the 4th be with You. Note to those on mobile, this post will have more images than a normal week.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - May the 4th and More
Saturday is May the 4th, and if you haven't run across a ton of May the 4th be with You references, you probably haven't been anywhere near a Star Wars site for the past week or so. There appears to be a lot going on, and seems like there might be some surprises in store...but who knows for sure. Anyway, last week was pretty light in the blog, so I thought I'd make for it this week with a wide range of stuff...

Exceptionally short on time this week...but had just enough time to watch this excellent bit of animation:
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Ups and Downs
This week reflects a lot of Star Wars news of late: information on new movies - yay! More Lucasfilm layoffs - boo! I'm so busy, it's hard to keep up! Ugh! OK, that last one is just me, with a work trip and the usual other stuff taking up time this particular week. Other stuff like retyping this post after it went poof after...never mind. OK, probably not just me. So, on with the Star Wars ups and downs.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Planet Comicon
This past weekend was Planet Comicon weekend here in Kansas City. The convention has been around for many years, and I've posted about previous experiences before. This year, it moved to the most prestigious venue in KC, the downtown Bartle Hall convention center. It easily lived up to the new venue, in guests and overall attendance. And, it included several Star Wars guests...as well as other big media guests.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - LucasArts Shutdown
Sad Star Wars news today. LucasArts is officially closed, all current projects cancelled. Disney says they'll be licensing Star Wars and other IPs out to other game studios. No matter what you may think of LucasArts efforts over the years, they'll always be one of the iconic video game companies in history, thanks to fun and sometimes groundbreaking games.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Saving and Playing
This past week saw more details on the Clone Wars cancellation and rumors as to what might come next. I also ran across a few things I'd forgotten about online....

Another busy time, so, Ready! Set! Go!.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Endings, Obligations & Cons
It has been quite a week for Star Wars. Judging by the surge on this site on Monday, it appears more than a few readers checked in to see if I had anything to say about the cancellation of The Clone Wars. On top of that, there are some other announcements to discuss...
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Mysteries Solved
So, the past week or two have had a few Star Wars mysteries solved. Granted, three weren't ones I was aware of, and the one I wondered about actually wasn't totally solved, just given a different direction...
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Winter Amusement
As predicted, the last week has indeed resembled Hoth around here, with two major winter storms in 7 days dumping about 16 total inches in my driveway...and around town. That would be 8-9" the first round, 5+" yesterday and about 1-2" this morning. The last major storm I had a bit of fun with some Star Wars Minis in the backyard a bit over two years ago. You can see it here. Frankly, I'm not sure what it says about the state of things, when I could've used that exact same post, word for word today and it would be just as relevant...well, except for that Sam Witwer comment....but if it had been a few weeks ago... Anyway, I won't leave it at that. Here's an array of recent Star Wars things to keep the snowbound amused.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday-Mailbag-Obligation & XP
According to the forecast, the weather should turn extremely Hoth-like around here in the next 12-24 hours. So obviously, that means its time to answer a couple of reader questions about Edge of the Empire RPG Beta. The Obligation and related XP discussion from a few weeks ago prompted a few questions. One answer you can find in the comments section, the others I'll take on here. Remember, my answers are not official, and I don't intend to do this more than occasionally.

Some business travel did in Star Wars Wednesday this week. Fortunately, Wired is there to take up the slack.

It has been another amazing week for Star Wars, and with today's announcement, things aren't slowing down anytime soon in a galaxy far, far away.

Picking up where I left off last week on Obligation in Edge of the Empire RPG....
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Edge on Obligation
As I mentioned last week, I was a guest once again on this week's Order 66 podcast, specifically to talk about the Obligation mechanic in the Edge of the Empire RPG Beta. I helped develop the mechanic and wrote the GM advice in EotE. I had a few thoughts after the show I wanted to follow up on.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Update from the Edge 01
There were several updates from Fantasy Flight Games this past week or so regarding the Star Wars game line. I liked the blog title enough that I might reuse it from time to time (though putting a number in the title almost guarantees I'll drop it before using it a second time. Planning, right?). On top of that, I'll be making another Order 66 podcast appearance on Sunday evening, 8:30pm, justin.tv.
