... My new place is already being dubbed the 'Old Folks Home' by Danikan and myself! ... So the jedi temple has already been built!

 

On an Adelaide dance music message board, someone only 5 years younger than me just called me an old fart. Pfft!

 

... *realises how old he is*

 

*wonders how old he is*

 

That old man's just a crazy old wizard

 

A real Star Wars character has his own blog! Amazing stuff, the highs and the lows. A really great read, so emotional:

Wow! That was a side of him I'd never really appreciated before.

This blog is also a good read - The Darth Side: Memoirs of a Monster. You can get the complete journal as a PDF here.


An excerpt:

Lunch with Fett.

The noose tightens.

Boba Fett is one of the few people with whom I will share a
meal. He was horribly disfigured by acid years ago, and I feel we
hold a bond in common in that respect. He has never so much as
winced at the ghastly noises that come through my ventilator while
I chew, because he is a gentleman.

He is also a bounty hunter, which is why I have invited him
over to chat.

?They won?t leave this sector,? he assured me as he sprinkled
hot sauce on his vegetables. ?That freighter can?t be jacked out of a
prang this time -- Captain Solo will limp someplace safe to lick his
wounds.?

?And you know where that will be?? I asked, drawing in some
meat through a straw.

Fett gave me a level look. ?That?s my hard yakka, Lord
Vader.?

?The contract is yours. You know the other bounty hunters
will find nothing.?

He nodded slowly, returning his attention to the meal. ?They?ll
swim for Bespin, my Lord, to have a smoko with a gas-cocky
called Calrissian. He and Solo go back yonks.?

Calrissian! I knew the Force did not orbit him for no reason.

To Fett I said, ?Excellent, Boba. You will be rewarded
handsomely. By the way, your scars are looking quite good.?

?I?ve been using a new cream,? he told me.

I did my famous corpse of Mace Windu imitation, which made
Fett snort wine through his nose. ?This party?s over,? I quipped,
and Fett howled. Long ago Windu was First Speaker of the Jedi
High Council, a fierce warrior who slew Boba?s father and tried to
kill my master. In vain, of course. These days the Emperor uses
Windu?s purple light-sabre to trim his hedges.

 

That is good. It takes awile to read though.

i got Jedi Master. YAY.
Did you know that site has proven over 1,000,000 Jedi to date.

 

I've been told by my Master that I simply must post these photos to share with you so here they are....

First, last weekend some of the members of my costuming group were hired to participate in a show at a wrestling match so here we are with the wrestler. One of my friends and I are making our appearance at the top of the entrance ramp during the show. I'm the one with the blue lightsaber at the top of the ramp.

Last night a local TV station hired us to appear on their show in costume so here are a couple of photos taken there. The first one is of the group with the show's host. The other is before the show.

Wow! Nice pictures GJSF. Aayla Secura looks mighty impressive. That's a rather tall Princess at the back as well

 

LOL the middle and back rows are standing on some stairs.

 

Wow!! Great photos Goddess!! Did anyone else notice Tina Turner in the background of this pic??

 

LOL. That's pretty funny. I think Guri musta put it there. Am i correct?

 

No, the photo was taken in the wardrobe room of a local TV station and they were doing a retro 80's segment on the same show we appeared on so there were lots of 80's look-a-likes. I was thinking Addie would have been in her element there! It was fun to see "Tina" and "Jane Fonda" and all the other look-a-likes.

 

Oh wow, those are awesome photos!!!

 

great photos there......it would be nice to be able to do something like that here in Australia

but..as some of us know from past experience, the only reason that Australian TV will have you on their show is to point, laugh and say "look at the freaks"

having had this conversation with members of Melbourne's starwalking, and their experiences on Bert Newton's show among many others, I will never appear on a tv show again.

I still don't think Today Tonight did us justice either....at least Kathryn has a 'decent' journalism job with channel ten now!!!




EDIT: Skipp- you're not an old fart, I'm not an old fart, and I'm gonna be 40 in a couple of months time!!! Never, ever act your age - not that I need to tell you this, I think you know that already. Anyone calling you an old fart is but a young fool who will be acting older than their real age by the time they're 30!!!

 

Has anyone read DroidMaker at all?

For anyone with an interest in the history of CG and Lucas it looks like an interesting read.

 

The book will be interesting.

The costumes looked great, but WHY did Vader have to mug Gene Simmons for his boots ??

 

cool video clip, it's streaming video so those on dialup might struggle with this
battlefront
