I can't believe I'm posting this picture on the Internet. But this is what I'll be wearing on Friday. Sunday too if the wig isn't too unbearable.

I'll be with my parents. They'll be channeling Yoda and Chewie.

I want to know where Darth Maul went? And we last saw Ahsoka team up with Ventress, what happened with that duo.

Darth Maul got a 4 issue limited series comic book titled Son of Dathomir. I own it but have not read yet. The guys at my local comic book store said it was really good and most issues sold out quickly. Assajj Ventress with Quinlan Vos are getting a novel in July titled Dark Disciple. I know they collected the 4 Darth Maul issues into a trade paperback. I think I saw it once at Hollywood Studio's Writer's Stop. I wish they would make direct to home video movies of these stories but for now I do plan on purchasing anything Clone Wars related especially Disney Infinity 3.0.

Wait Darth Maul is from Dathomir?!?! I stopped the EU about the time Jacen turned dark. I am so out of the loop for anything after that. Do you have any recommendations of good stuff I might have missed? Sorry, that is probably a very long answer hahaha.

Probably the height of the EU for me was the Xwing series, especially Aaron Allston. I always thought the EU was really low on humor, so I loved Allston's writing.

I wish I could pull off a costume. I just carry a plastic Lightsaber...

Hhahahaha, funny.

Here are a couple of photos from last year's galactic breakfast and a magic shot

I think Maul's background is in The Phantom Menace novelization. Either there or Darth Plagueis. I know I read it recently.

Anyone happen to remember the release schedule for the plush ewoks? I can't remember if Wicket is available yet.

Ah yes, but it's plural, lol. You now have the purple push button too.

I never got into the EU. I always wanted to get into Shadows of the Empire since I own the Nintendo 64 game. I picked up the Darth Maul comics since they announced that they were based on unproduced scripts of the Clone Wars. So far, I have only read A New Dawn and the new Star Wars Comic books by Marvel Comics (Star Wars, Princess Leia, Kanan and Darth Vader) I have liked them all. I also picked up Tarkin, Ezra's Gamble and Servants of the Empire: Edge of the Galaxy but I am to lazy to start those. I do like this idea of everything new as canon. It does make it easier for a slacker like me to get into non movie / tv show media.

I need technical help. Can someone give me a step by step or point me to a link on how to compress pictures so they don't exceed the size. My photobucket account is pretty full. And when I try to download pictures from my phone or camera, I keep getting an error that it's too large.

I have so many Plastic Lightsabers, General Grievous is jealous.

I use Flickr, I think they now offer a terabyte free of photo storage and you can download your uploaded photos in a variety of sizes. I used to also use a free program called Faststone Photo Resizer to batch shrink photos.

6 days until we get on a plane bound for 2 weekends of SWW (not to mention that the splurge of staying at BC because of their awesome pool) and as soon as he finished getting dressed, my 7 year old and I are heading off to the doctor to make sure he didn't fracture his arm yesterday being stupid.

Wish us luck.

OH MY GAWDS... I hope he's ok!

As for those lightsabers that they cant give out extra of, the jawas had them available for trade at the end of breakfast. I was able to trade 2 pins for 2 light sabers, which worked out nicely since I was able to give light sabers to the 2 kiddos that I didnt take with me.

I hope they have some when we are there. Then I wouldn't have to give mine to ds. I know DH wouldn't want to. Lol
