went to the novi comic con today - disappointed in lack of star wars photos - they had tons of action figures, cards, etc. but i was looking for photos however i did meet an amazing star wars artist - he drew "darth vader's remorse" the image of vader thinking of padme (the image of her in her coffin ) he is holding is head and grieving - it's quite moving... i bought 3 of his RotS posters (he was one of the guest artists at C3) and his sketch book. this guy understandsstar wars - you can see it in his art. he is joe corroney and his site/email is his name.com

Anything to report? Well, this is me, dropping by, 'cause I've actually been in the area this week. w00t for fall break. I'm almost finished with my Visas Marr costume from Knights of the Old Republic II, and I'll be sure to post pictures of it once I have some.

Also, I've been ridiculously active in fanfic. I've taken on a huge project, that being writing a novelization of KOTOR, but from a slightly different perspective and a few paths the game won't let you take. Happy fun times there, to be sure. Seven chapters and counting, at any rate.

This has been me saying 'what's up.'

said it before and i'll say it again - if you want to build a fan force, you must participate in the meetings....gives us a connection, a foundation. without that we are anonymous posters amongst the thousands on theforce. this is our speciality - grand rapids but we need to make that focus our reality.

so...c'mon down....i've made the last two.

Well, not very. Its hard to get people to come to the meetings. I don't want to scare you away because of this. I just wanted you to know. The battle has been going on for sometime to get people to come to the meetings. We do participate in charity events that TX0338 posts I must not forget about that. Those are very important and fun to do. Three of us went to Detroit to participate in the Timothy Zahn booksigning.

I live in Mt. Pleasant and work in Lansing so your group is the nearest one I'm aware of. There are a lot of SW fans in the area but no club. I didn't make to the Zahn book signing but thought Outbound Flight was his best work yet.

I tried to get some discussion going but didn't get much reaction, so I went on to other discussion threads.

Hey guy's, Sorry I've been soo quiet lately, I've been super busy. I finished "outbound flight" and "swarm queen", I think I've finally fallen behind on my reading! Outbound was pretty good, but I think he left it a little to open for some sequels.

"Outbound Flight" was a great read, but he did leave it open for a sequel. For instance, what happens to Obi-Wan and Anakin?
