Here’s a little random insider-baseball behind-the-scenes from Club Jade: All the rumor graphics I have (thus far) created for Episode VII and the spin-offs. More are sure to come!
These probably won’t blow up in your stomach.
They’re on Etsy.
Holy shit, Jaders. Did we find spacepops?
(Spoiler: If they are, they will.)
We’re (slowly) getting back to business as usual as Stoogey reviews the Onderon arc - aka the last four episodes - of The Clone Wars! And also get a look at tomorrow’s new episode.
As we can expect yet another round of fandom upheaval and craziness and nigh-inevitable finger pointing, I’m finally bringing this post to Tumblr…
The greatest people you will ever meet, and the worst: A call for civility in Star Wars fandom
Star Wars is a gigantic franchise, with many different facets. You don’t have to love every single piece of it to be a fan, and I think it’s unrealistic to expect everyone to do that. (More power to you if you can, but it doesn’t necessarily work that way for all of us.) If you love something about Star Wars, you are a fan. Star Wars is just too big and too varied and not everyone is going to love everything. You might even despise parts of it. Hey, it happens. What’s really important is how you express it, and how you treat others.
This post is probably one of the things I’m most proud of writing in my whole fandom/blogging career. (Can I call it a career?!?) I can honestly say that I don’t believe there’s any wrong way to be a fan, except by being an ass about it. I can’t claim to be a saint myself, and I have a real lack of patience for dealing with the assholes, but I do honestly believe everything I wrote in this. Let’s start out this Episode 7 thing by trying to be better people, not better fans.

I sucked at taking pictures this year at Origins. Sorry!
1. Tim Zahn read three chapters of Scoundrels for one of his seminars. It sounds GREAT, and completely accessible to anyone who’s fallen behind on the EU.
2. A Club Jade party really isn’t a Club Jade party until Obi-wan gets naked. And yes, we were watching ANH. The suite’s TV was… not hooked up for HD, apparently. (Note for next year: Bring more movies.) His loincloth is leopard print duct tape, which is now, apparently, part of my suite kit. Maybe next year we’ll have a chorus line.
3. I’m not a dice person, but these dice were AMAZING. Laser-etched metal. The regular ones were pretty nice, too, they just don’t don’t have the same level of detail. If I had any use for dice I’d have bought some.
