Man it's been forever since I posted.

I wanna say, i love the new lightsaber in concept, not cause of the three blade thing, but cause it looks, different. it doesn't just seem like a fancier version of the telescoping one i can buy at wal mart, but an actual blade of Plasma.  One thing i don't get, and this is probably because 15 years of reading star wars books and comics and whatnot ruined me. is why people are confused by the fact storm troopers and an empire still exists. Yes, i know yay emperor is dead and all, but seriously? The empire was more than just a guy afterall.

I do like i won't know whats going on anymore, really in any of the series. As much as i lamented the death of the old EU because we were finally getting a series about the next generation of characters, i wasn't particularly worried anybody important would die because either it was set in the past and we knew the outcome, or Legacy told us X survived long enough to have a baby and X had yet to have said baby.

idk, i just like the better lightsaber graphic.

http://starwars.com/news/the-legendary- … -page.html and http://starwars.com/news/disney-publish … -line.html So this is a thing that is happening. 

I don't know how to feel about this because the EU (new jedi order and thrawn) is what helped me become the star wars fan i am today, yet i hate the direction the EU as a whole has gone in (especially post RotJ stuff), but... so much work has been put into these stories and even if they were reluctant to finally just kill the original heroes

(if being perfectly ok killing off the people meant to be replacing them)
it was still going somewhere.

This was to be expected but... still.

I don't so much hate it as "... oh look, they used that sound" and then i go on.

I probably don't watch as many movies as some of you is why I haven't moved to it being actually annoying,

I listen to a podcast called "Science... sort of" when they update, which is not always a set time.
Just because I am a science person and I liked their Jurassic park commentary. 

and also polycast, a Civilization (the game) related podcast every so often.

besides that, I've just never been able to find one I listen to with great regularity, or kept listening to.

Just beat Assassin's Creed 3. I have no idea what happened because I tuned out every time the story started, but sneaking around and killing people is still fun..

you didn't miss too terribly much. It tries to do to much with one game though.

Mikal plays a combination of Minecraft, Civilization v and Europa Universalis III.

When you have no job and nothing better do do over winter break, you learn to love what games you have.

Hi, I'm Sean! Or jakezing/Jake, or Mikal/Mikalos/Mikalosa, really it depends on what website I'm on and none of those names mean absolutely anything, the first being the name i typed for Gamefaqs back in 2005 and Mikalos just being the string of letters i typed for my username change in 2009.

I'm 19, A history Major (yay waste of time!) and Found Down in Front through the Tvtropes Article on "Alternate DVD Commentary" about... 2 months ago. My worst insjury was... not a clue, i don't really get any injuries.

... My interest in films is academic and enjoyment, and has been somewhat influenced after spending 3 years listening to The -former- Tipping Forties, a Lets Play/film group from Arizona on the Something Awful LP subforum.  My Favorite movie i usually give is New Hope because of it and star wars general influence on me and my creativity style. (And because i;m lazy and have never really thought about "whats my favorite movie")
