Hello All,

I have to apologize again for being away from my blog for so long.  Life around the “Skirata” (well, my real one) house has been “busy” and stressful of late - very stressful. :-( Yes, I’m just about finished with reading Order 66 and I’m starting to organize my thoughts for the review.

I have also proceeded further in The Force Unleashed game for the Wii and thought I would post my impressions here to hold you all over until the Order 66 review is done. I thought it would be fair to expand my thoughts from the podcast since I have proceeded further into the game. It should be posted soon so keep a look out for it.

Speaking of the TFU, anyone watching Smallville this season? Is it just me but when you see Sam Witwer on screen, don’t you want say “Yes, my Master.” Or how about any other memorable line from the TFU. Then there are these questions that come up: Could a Sith Lord take down the Man of Steal??? Could a Lightsaber damage or dent Superman??? Is Lois a better actress then Juno?? Would the Apprentice hit on Lois or Cloe if he had chance?? Would Clark hit on Aayla Secura or  Juno and if he does hit on Juno, is she wearing the high collar of low cut tight tank top?

Lastly, is it me or is it hard to take Sam’s character seriously when all you remember him for (at least now) as the Apprentice for Darth Vader. Don’t you think it would be cool if Nathalie Cox where to do a cameo just for fun!! She could just walk by him, give him a “look” and quote “…… this is my only appearance on this show, so I’ll never need to live this down,” then she just grabs hold of him and plants a big wet one on the lips. Then Superman proceeds to kick his assets.

Boy I could really use a Mandallian Narcolethe drink about now. I’m so glad I don’t partake in this stuff :-( Bummer!!!

Until next time, this is your Uncle Kal signing off.

…… your Uncle Kal does have a lot more to say but not just on the Comic Con. Keep on the look out for a Compare / Contrast review of Star Wars Complete Edition Lego VS. Indiana Jones Lego games. That should hopefully post soon???? Trust me, I am working on it. :-)

And, if by someway I get me hands on it (oooo I sounded like a pirate there for a second :-) ) , the Batman Lego VS. Star Wars Complete Edition Lego review.

This is your Uncle Kal, signing off. Goodnight Everyone :-)

…. or in other words, how much money will I NOT spend on Star Wars stuff this year??? Remember folks - I really do squeak when I walk, esp. this year :-p

Hi Again, it’s your Uncle Kal and I’m making a quick blog entry.

Wednesday night of this week, one of the biggest conventions in all of the lane of comics kicks off, the San Diego Comic-Con. Now, why am I writing about this now??? Well, I will be going to this bastion of noise and stuff on Sunday with a camera.  I will try, to the best of my ability, to report on what I see down there concerning Star Wars. Please understand, I go for only one day, Sunday. I leave my house around 7 am and drive the 2 hours to get there by 9 and I normally leave around 2/3pm when you really can’t move anymore.

I will hit the Star Wars booths first, Hasbro - Lucas Arts - Gentle Giant and the like. But, this will be my daughters first trip down so I will try to cover the show to the best of my ability. Hopefully, I will have some great stories this year like I have had from years past.

Wish me luck that I survive again in one piece.

This is you Uncle Kal signing off …….. Good Day eh :-)
