Links

Hey, every blog has these posts, so why not this?  Yep, it's the traditional posting of a ton of other links that the writer wished he had written about, but either forgot/didn't want to actually do work!  Woo hoo!

Techland, Time's "Geek" News Web Site, has had a couple of decent articles over the past few months.
If you ever wanted to know what Star Wars comics you should read, this article has some intriguing possibilities, including more Knights of the Old Republic, a possible Episode 7 and of course, Boba Fett.  And Wookies?  Yeah, totally copyright infringement.  Nice Lucas.  Real Nice.

Comic Book Resources is by far the best news site for main stream comic book news and opinions (meaning DC, Marvel, and occasionally Image/Dark Horse).  Luckily for us, Star Wars had a long comic book run in the early 1980's done by Marvel (who used to essentially stay alive due to their licensing deals during this period).  This means it goes under the purview of the excellent Comic Book Legends, which should be required weekly reading for people.  Anyways....

Not shockingly, like any time period, editors are always changing stuff last second.  That includes one editor's view that warfare is the only acceptable path in Star Wars.  Pacifism?  Bah, that's for Star Trek fans!  See's Lando's changed reaction here...and some random batman trivia.  Double Win!

Speaking of win, as kids, I think we can all agree that the holograms in Star Wars were nifty.  Now of course they seem so dated....specially since they now exist and are used rather extensively in the military.  As we all know, if the military is using it, you know the rest of the word is going to be abusing the technology in five years.  I just hope that it does fall to the dark side of Apple....

A new IPHONE Game is coming out, a sort of free First Person Shooter, called Star Wars Imperial Academy which apparently puts into the Expended Universe the notion that storm troopers kill each other to gain money and promotions.  Which is odd, because you would think this would improve their abilities, but if we are to believe the Movies, this does the opposite.  Does this mean that civilians are actually lv. 20 until they join a military organization?  Hmm.....

Topless Robot, a solid geek news/opinion site, has a review on the new Clone Wars season 3 opening movie/episodes, and it's apparently quite good.  However it does introduce the fact that Darth Maul has a brother named Savage.  I''m not sure wither to shrug and go Why not? Or to just shake my head and sigh...

Lastly, a generic list of the best Star Wars Games that does not have Rogue Squadron.  Also, seeing how I've played a total of 2 games on this list,  I suppose that means the force is not strong with me.  Damn!
