What's My Name?

So, I'm sure your aware by now of the screaming abortion of a soul crushing abomination that it Star Wars Kinect. The timing of it release was rather unfortunate for me. There I was, really getting back into Star Wars. I was actually enjoying the franchise properly for the first time in several years. And then I saw this.




Now, like most people upon witnessing such an atrocity I'm sure your initial reaction would be to ask WHY?!?!

Although this is also an acceptable answer.

What Else Would You Do For Fun?

You know what the single greatest hands down number one truly ultimate worlds best toy line of all time was?

Battle Beasts.

The Scenic Route

It's been a long, long time since I've actually done much painting, hasn't it? Such is life. Various distractions got in the way of me actually sitting down and getting any work done. Mostly distractions with Star Wars written on it seems, but not entirely.

Anyway, the point is that I actually managed to get a couple of projects finished up at the weekend.

The More Things Change

Ladies and gentlemen, today I am going to talk about Star Wars. This being the internet, I will of course be complaining.

However, just for a change I intend today to complain not about the many, many crimes against storytelling committed in the name of the franchise, but rather I'm going to talk about one of my favourite characters from the prequel trilogy.

And how UTTERLY POINTLESS they are.

One Of These Things

I'd like to talk to you today about one of my all time favourite shows. It's a science fiction tv show that started way back in the 60's when TV was still black and white, but is still going strong today.

The Quick And Easy Path

I've been gripped in a sudden and severe Star Wars mood of late. I think this is largely due to chatting with a friend of mine about the possibilities of playing a Star Wars Saga Edition game set in the Legacy era. The beauty of the Legacy being that no matter what your favourite bit of Star Wars is, this something suitable mixed up in there somewhere. So all this thinking about the possibilities of the Star Wars really put me in the mood.

I mean, you would, wouldn't you?

And so it was that I finally decided to do something I'd been putting off for many years.

I bought the prequel trilogy. After all, I've gotten quite a fair bit of post mileage writing about things that aren't very good before. At the very least I thought it would be good for a few invective laced rants about how George Lucas is actually the anti-christ or something. And thus it was that I settled down one night to watch the films.

ALL OF THEM.

Top X Things Missing From Star Wars Miniatures

Back in the day I really loved playing a bit of Star Wars Miniatures. it was a fast, fun and simple system that had plenty of depth and variety in the play. Plus, it was Star Wars. Everything's better with Lightsabers. Sadly due to various reasons I kind of drifted out of it and stopped collecting, although the line went on for quite a few sets after that before it finally got killed. In many ways it seemed reasonable that it ended when it did. After all, how many Darth Vaders does one man REALLY need?

However, having said that there's actually a metric shit-ton of stuff that they could have made but didn't. And since I've recently had my passion for Star Wars rekindled, (and thus my desire for collecting and playing SW Minis has ignited in a fairly severe way) I've been thinking about what I'd really like to see in the minis game but never will. Stuff like....

Goldilocks

It's no secret that I have developed a certain degree of affection for the Owlbear. However, I think that maybe I need to try to rein it in a little. The enthusiasm part that is. You can't put reins on an Owlbear, they just bite through them.

Anyway, the point is I went shopping.
