Target WEAK in the Force!

OK, I went to Target, and found them to be very weak in the force. None of the employees even knew about the online ads and there was very little Star Wars stuff, and what there was (2 items) were few in number and spread out. I did pick up 2 big bags of M&M’s and a box of Pop Tarts: First Pop Tarts I’ve purchased in YEARS… good marketing works, I guess!The small print is quite funny on most of them: TO DOOKU: Watch where you’re pointin’ that things! TO TROOPER: A little round for a Stormtrooper, aren’t you?MORE EXCITING NEWS: I will be going to the MIDNIGHT TOYS R US OPENING in Vernon Hills on Friday, April 1st! I did this for Episode I and it was a TON of FUN! Not sure if this one will be the same, but at the first one (they didn’t do this for Episode II) I got there at 10 p.m. and 15th in line. By midnight there were HUNDREDS of people in line, ALL MEN (except for 2 brave women). I was only going to buy a few items, but when the doors opened I almost got stampeeded! I tried…

Weak Minded I must be!

OK, I’ll admit it…. I cried.

IT’S HERE! The next star wars trailer is now here. My favorite scenes are always the ships and space battles. It is hard to watch the young Anakin turning… But I’m glad there will be a lot of saber battling… that is always cool! I’ll admit though, I got a little choked up when Obi-Wan says, “But you were the chosen one.” It is definitely a tragic story,and this chapter will be the darkest. Still hard to believe that cute little kid could become Darth Vader! DOWNLOAD QUICKTIME: STAR WARS III trailer. DOWNLOAD AVI: STAR WARS III trailer. They are both BIG, so be patient!

It’s Official – I’m a nerd.

OK, it’s official. I did it. I can no longer claim NOT to be a Star Wars nerd. Getting on the news in jedi outfit didn’t count, having a literal Star Wars museum in my basement didn’t count, going to the premeir of EP2 didn’t count…. but registering for Celebration III made it official. I am proud not to be a ‘trekkie’ but I am a big fan of Star Wars. To me Star Trek and Star Wars are very different, I mean, everyone knows that Star Trek is make believe! I’ve never been to one of these sci-fi events before, but I decided to attend this last one, since this will be the last SW Convention, at least the last one that really matters. Star Wars was the first movie I ever saw when I was seven years old – I’ll never forget that opening scene – it blew me away! I’d never even seen a movie, and what a movie to be my first. So in many ways, this final SW installment is the conclusion of a life-long story I’ve been following. Come Jesus, Come, but after May 19th, please! It’s only 78 days away! Actually, the real…
