And so it's Friday

There's more about John Williams's score for ROTS on the official site today. As it turns out, a certain old school SW piece will be in the movie ;).

The official site also mentioned some new merch, including a dinnerware set and all of the boardgames. SW Risk is based on the Clone Wars, pitting the Republic against the Separatists.

I saw a leaked pic from The Duel, which is really a bigger shot of Anakin choking Obi-Wan from the trailer, only from a different angle and with more in the picture. You know you have been in fandom too long when you see one guy on top of another guy trying to kill him and the first thought that pops in your head is, "Here comes the slash!" When I first saw TPM, that was the first thing that came to mind when a dying Qui-Gon reached up to wipe away Obi-Wan's tears. "Oh no!" I thought as I could hear the clacking of a million computer keyboards. My friends all thought the same thing.

I may have more than a month to finish my Saga Journal paper but I have a review due on Feb. 15. Oh well! I've also started cranking out a new editorial.

Oops, forgot...

Saga Journal has updated for the month of February!

Check out a new essay by a_p: Triumph Over Technology, which is about the struggle in Star Wars with technology. And there's an essay Angels and Demons: Love and the Hero in Episodes I and II and Spider Man 1 and 2 by sjepstein. Plus there's a review of the 1999 t.v. special The Mythology of Star Wars by ladyaeryn.
