Random Ramblings on our Favorite Subject!
Hello all! I have been very busy lately, and probably still will be, so you might not see too much of me. This is unfortunate. However, I will try s hard as I can to make it on enough to place comments on as many blogs as I can. As I have said before, if anyone wants to post a link to any blog they wrote/read, please do so, so that I can read it. In addition, you can feel free to contact me via email at omegasquad5@clonetrooper.com if interested. Now, onwards.

I will throw in some miscellaneous facts today about my Star Wars fandom. Enjoy!

I am a "knowledge" collector; I read more Star Wars stuff and own more books than I do other items. I own about 40 books, EU related, or novelizations.

My favorite Star Wars book is Labyrinth of Evil, favorite author, tie, James Luceno and Timothy Zahn, favorite series, The Thrawn Trilogy.

Favorite Movie characters:

Ep 1 Darth Maul
Ep 2 (tie) Jango Fett, Yoda
Ep 3 (tie) General Grievous, Obi Wan Kenobi
Ep 4 Han Solo
Ep 5 Darth Vader
Ep 6 (tie) Chewbacca, Boba Fett

Favorite All time movie character; Obi Wan Kenobi

Favorite EU Character Grand Admiral Thrawn

Favorite All Time Character (tie) Thrawn and Kenobi

Favorite odd Star Wars items

Star Wars ties (3)
Star Wars wrist rest for typing
Star Wars pez

I love all of the music from the movies, and have the Ep 3 and Ep 4 soundtracks

I don't really have a favorite line, but I do like "Apology accepted Captain Needa"

Favorite movie, ROTS

Hyperspace membership since October 2005

I love the Ep 1 pinball game, best arcade game of all time!

I have watched 2 or 3 CDs of Firefly, can't remember, but I enjoyed them a lot. I would recommend them to others even if you don't like much sci fi other than Star Wars, as is the case with me.

I own a good collection of Star Wars Disney pins from Star Tours WDW in Orlando. Hope to get more soon; I go there within the month.

I own the clonetrooper bobblehead in the picture.

I have to say this; Stooge's jokes are some of the funniest things I have ever read!

All bloggers on my blog roll please keep up the awesome writing! I love reading it! Also, if you were once on my blog roll, or never have been, this does not mean I do not dislike your blogs. I often change slots on my blog roll, so don't be angry with me if you were once there but aren't now. Please show me some of your favorites; I would love to read them!

In fact, I am offering a once in a lifetime opportunity. Show me your favorite blog, if you are not on my blog roll, I will decide which is my favorite, and i will put you on my blog roll in my last open slot. You can email me your choice, or put a link to it on this blog. Sound good?

Does anyone own the Shadows of the Empire CD? I listened to parts of it on I Tunes, and it seems very good, but I want to check first.

Also, can anyone confirm that Karen Traviss is writing more Republic Commando books?

You can tell me your favorites if you want, or just comment, or whatever. Hope you enjoyed. Again, I won't have much time to be blogging, but I do respond quickly to email if you want to contact me. Thanks!

God bless, MTFBWY!

Hey there cbern! You know for a fact, that I have missed your shiny, gorram, bounty hunter's presence around these parts.:D

Sounds like you have quite the collection! Awesome....As for me, still working on it;) I just smile at my pride and joy everyday; Anakin's FX lightsaber:)

Be good, keep in touch, and MTFBWY...always...~Angel~

What? No mention of football?? What up with that?

I commented to you elsewhere about this, but you really need to see all of Firefly.

Shiny.

Hi cbern! I don't really "know" you that well...so I can't honestly link my blog and say that it deserves to be on your blog roll. Despite all that, can I beg something of you?

I own a good collection of Star Wars Disney pins from Star Tours WDW in Orlando. Hope to get more soon; I go there within the month.
For the love of the Force, take me with you!!!!! (Sorry, it's colder than Hoth over here and will only get worse...)

Pretty please? :D

Oh, forgot to ask-

Future musician, eh? What do you play? What do you listen to? How many of JP's questions can you handle?

Though I am quite humble and don't like to draw attention to myself, it is still an absolute disgrace that I am not on your blog roll.
Who in their right mind would exclude such insightful, hard-hitting blogs such as my groundbreaking naughty midichlorian theory or my staggeringly beautiful power droid haikus?
This travesty must end here!
I would love to recommend somebody else, but quite frankly I am too upset.

;)

Check out The Tater Chronicles to see how I obviously qualify - or even better, just add green&whitejedi to your mix - all of his stuff makes me howl with laughter.

Thanks angel, i know i need to write more, just don't have the time

ami, yes i do need to see the other episodes, and how could i forget football? I'm not quite sure, but you know what I would say anyway

Jediprincess, love to take you with me, just a bit unlikely:D And you certainly could post your fav blog link, because then i could read more of your stuff

I play piano and alto sax. And organ. Very fun, all three of them

nob0, i will check out your stuff as soon as i can, thanks for the link and for greenandwhitejedi's also

Nice to see you there, cbern!! You really have been missed around here :)

It truly does sound like you have quite the collection there. As for me...I am building up my collection of books (novelizations, EU, and references); I have several figures, minature lightsabers, artwork, and my *prize*--Anakin's FX lightsaber :x .

I will keep my eyes out for new entries from you :)

Thanks PS77, I appreciate that. I will try to write more. I promise:)

So you have a FX Lightsaber too, maybe I should get one.

I play piano and alto sax. And organ.
I play piano too (jazz), but jazz voice is my major. I do tons of classical singing on the side, too (that's the money maker). And you don't meet an organist every day! That's awesome!!! Ever play a Hammond B3?

JP, no never have, I'm kind of new at it, but decent, i practice on an allen organ in my church

Yes, Stooge, the wrist rest is awesome! I got it like 10 years ago, I looked for it on ebay recently and couldn't find it. If you ever locate another, let me know! Mine is pretty old, but still great.

Does anyone own the Shadows of the Empire CD? I listened to parts of it on I Tunes, and it seems very good, but I want to check first.

Yes I do have the CD. I really like it. It has some of the qualities of William's stuff, but it is also very different. I bought the CD after I read the book and I think that the music fits the various scenes. I highly recommend it.:D

I haven't written a blog in a while, due to time, but I'm currently working on a few and I hope to post in the next week. I'll keep you updated.
