Star Wars Sunday Comic 013 - Leia


Welcome to the rebellion.

Our beloved rebel general seems to be distracted from her strategic planning lately. We hope she gets it together before the Death Star gets within firing range.

This smuggled Sunday Comic from the Imperial News may shed some light on the issue. Enjoy this week's Leia.



With thanks and apologies to Cathy creator, Cathy Guisewite.

Enjoy more Cathy here.  Learn more about Cathy Gusiewite here.

The Comics Curmudgeon sums up the comics you hate to read, so you won't have to read them at all. But the funny process will more likely make you read them anyway!

Serial Disappointment

Welcome to the rebellion.

Geek Quote of the Week!


From The Big Bang Theory, Season Two, Episode 25. Sheldon isn't pleased to find Leonard watching the animated Clone Wars TV series.


" I want to watch the Clone Wars movie before I see the Clone Wars series. I prefer to be disappointed in the order George Lucas intended."



Booyah! In one, pithy line a generation of discontent is encapsulated!

Okay. End of rant.

Now it's time we all admit it.


It's all worth it.


All the lame acting, dull direction, wooden characters being moved like checkers across a board instead of growing and interacting is worth it for the magic those first movies have filled ourt lives with. And even his disappointing follow-up films have things for us to take away and cherish (and they're more precious for all the near misses those films contain.)

We have been able to play in his world for a generation. And today the next generation is even more excited about George's world than we may have been!

Sure, we whine and complain but we keep coming back. Why would we do that unless it's all worth it? I'd hate to live in a world where I didn't have star Wars growing up.

George must be doing something right.

Now if only he'd let me in on the script meetings. God, I know I could save him so many problems.

Oops, I'm back to ranting.
