Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Jarael, Rohlan action figures announced at San Diego!

Update: You can order the Jarael and Rohlan figures here! At Comic-Con International: San Diego today, Hasbro did its Star Wars presentation, announcing the line for the rest of this year — with a few sneak previews from next year. The slideshow — which can be seen in its entirety on the official Star Wars site here — contained a surprise for me: early 2010 will see a Comic Pack …

The Man in the Moon

My thoughts on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #43, now online, gave me a chance to reflect on my own interest in space — and so it was ironic that the news of Walter Cronkite passed just as I was writing them. For you see, he’s the man in the moon. And I’m not speaking figuratively. Here’s how: I was far too young to pay much attention to …

Vindication, Sword of the Empire (for free!) and more!

It will take me some time to get caught up, but I will take a first stab here… • First, at some point in the last few weeks, Star Wars: Knights …

One (1) update, belated

Well, I sure as heck didn’t mean for it to be close to a month between posts here — but I’m working on several projects simultaneously, and it’s kept me busy enough that I haven’t had time to discuss those that I can talk about. And none at all to delve into the other bloggy things that bloggers do. So hang in there — and make sure to grab Star …
