Sth Bend, IN SW Blog

what's a book?

 

I liked the t-shirt, but no time for t-shirts right now. Okay I can't believe I dropped the Jar Jar bomb on the board and am able to continue posting. So here is #9

The Royal Starship, this ship is by far the best in TPM in my opinion of course. They (meaning ILM) used the sounds of a B-52 bomber for the back ground noise this baby made while entering orbit around Courscant. This is one big Daddy type ship. It is like a Caddy with Spinners, lol, man is it late.

Okay I will keep em coming but a little disappointed no banter about Jar Jar.

 

uh.....Jar Jar, is like the , Tar baby

anyway, in other blogging news,

got my Star Wars fix in Indy Yesterday with fellow fans and friends.

and today, am back at work, surfing the various Star Wars boards, saying HI

 

#8...the Droidekas, awesome machine and nearly unstoppable in a close battle with shields. 3 of them were able to hold off a Jedi Master and his Padawan learner means these babies can rock and roll.

more later this week

 

okay....#7 Gungan army going on to the battle field. I am talking about the scene were they come out of the fog and the Gungans are blowing horns in the background, I am talking the scene were we all got a glimpse in movie previews prior to release. I love that scene and always get pumped when that scene arrives.

 

attended a fun Sci-Fi concert in Indianapolis,

http://www.indianapolissymphony.org/season/production.aspx?performanceid=566&src=t

It was actually a better concert than the one I saw
in Chicago with the CSO, but then the CSO had John Williams,

however, INDY was great!

Next Indiana visit, is to IU, in Bloomington for
the Little 500

Ed

oh, they played a lot of Star Wars Music, had the 501st in attendance,
and a great display of Star Wars stuff from collectors and others.

yeah, there was some Star Wrek stuff there as well,
....but it was fun to meet Walter Koenig (Chekov) from Star Trek.

 

That sounds like it was awesome. I wish I had know about it before; I would have tried to attend. Is this an annual event?

Hey Music Trooper, isn't the little 500 a bike race, I believe my neighbor has raced in that???

#6 HOw cool was the grappling hooks in the Naboo security guns. I could use that in my real life. Elevator out and boom whip out my gun and scale the building. Good Stuff

 

The ISO event of a SCI-FI concert, seemed like a special event
to me and not an annual one. It was kinda pricy with tickets starting
at around $45.00

I would suggest using their web site (see my post above)
to look at their season at a glance. And now that
we have this lovely BLOG, I will try to post info on any such
event in the future.

ref, Little 500,
Yes, this is bascially a bicycle race, ref film BREAKING AWAY,
but it is also kinda a week long series of events,
but the main focus is the

04-21-06 women's race
and
04-22-06 men's race


here is a link, hopefully to the I.U. calander of events.

#5....Aurra Sing...pretty cool bounty hunter, never quite hit the fame of Bobba Fett, but some great reads in the expanded universe.

 

#4 The Republic Senate....you got wookies, neimodians, ET, it just doesn't get any better than that.

 

I think I missed the ET in the audience.

Makes me hungry for Reese's Pieces though.


JMD

 

Look back at the Senate chambers, you can see 3 representatives from the home planet of ET.

#3 Double Edge Light Saber, how awesome was that. I hadn't been that stoked since seeing the original light sabers when I was 6 years old.

 

Today's Star Wars thoughts,

Oh where, Oh where,
can WOBDZ be

Oh where, Oh where,
can she be.

with her "threads" cut short,
or her posts, "so long?"

Oh where, Oh where
can she be.....

Ed

ps, just seems like a long time since the last post, hope all is well

 

Nice blog Ed,

#2 on the list of 10 best from the Phantom Menace......the Pod Race...I love to have that baby on the Home Theatre System at Home

 

Just seen The BenchWarmers yesterday with X and WOX, plenty of SW references in the movie.

 

no way?

That looks like a funny.

 

#1 Darth Maul....need I say more

well for more blogging news I will get back to regular blogs in the next couple of days

 

ref,

#1 Darth Maul....need I say more


.....especially as backed up by....Duel of the Fates, by John Williams

 

in my best Eric Cartman voice...Kick A$$

 

yes, as BDZ said, we saw Benchwarmers, and now I know that we will never have a gated driveway, because BDZ would insist on the Darth Vader intercom.

(Sidenote: Thanks for the little ditty a few posts back, MusicTrooper. Kids have kept me very very busy lately, but thanks for thinking of me)

 

aaaahhhhhhh, those precious younglings

 

Not much time for the SW universe today but I am looking foward to watching episode 3 this week or weekend. Hard to believe it has been 7 years since Phantom Menace and all the hype that surrounded it.

I still think it would be great to see someone take the torch from Lucas and work on a Prequel to the Prequel. Lucas is the king but every king's time comes to an end eventually.

 

Spoken like a true revolutionary.

All hail Lord Vader.

While having the kids at a sitter yesterday, I did a lot of laundry which entailed many of Aiden's STAR WARS shirts
