The Importance of Being Idle

Always A Pleasure To Meet A Jedi

War! The Republic is crumbling under attacks by the rutheless Sith Lord, Count Dooku. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere.

In a stunning move, the fiendish droid leader General Grievous, has swept into the Republic capital and kidnapped Chancellor Palpatine, leader of the Galactic Senate.

As the Seperatist Droid Army attempts to flee the beseiged capital with their valuable hostage, two Jedi Knights lead a desperate mission to free the captive Chancellor....


Actually I haven't done anything even remotely like that today, well except playing the Episode III game (which is both not good because it is too short and easy, and also excellent because of it's Star Wars-ness and because you get to be a kick-ass Jedi). In just a few short days though, I'll be seeing that title crawl for myself. It will be both a happy day and a sad day. Happy day cos it will be a New Star Wars Day, of which there have been precious few, and sad because it will be The Last New Star Wars Day. The story will be complete, and the thing that's been in the back of my head for the past thirty years looking forward to the next Star Wars movie will suddenly have nothing to do. As seeing Star Wars for the first time is one of my strongest and clearest childhood memories, not having new Star Wars to think about will be a strange and frightening experience.
So yeah, Stu got back from his trip yesterday, and he popped in here on his way home. He'd got me Star Wars presents, naturally; some cool Star Wars LEGO. He also gave me his pass to the movie screening, which was extra cool. Actually I think it was Bree's pass, cos Stu kept his, but I don't really care whose it was, its still neat.
Y'see how all I've written about is Star Wars? This whole week is probably gonna be like that, so either prepare yourself for it, or just tune it all out...
