Truly Wonderful, the Mind of a Child Is...

Yet Another Random Blog...

Hello everyone!!

For my birthday, as I mentioned in my previous blog, I recieved some gift certificates to Chapters. I went the other day, wanting to get something I wouldn't normally buy. And since the Essential Guides are so expensive, I figured I'd let someone else pay for it! (Wow... that sounded better in my mind.)

I ended up buying (after much deliberation) the NEG to Alien Species. I was looking through it that night, and I noticed something that I found really really funny (keep in mind that I find really random things funny...).

For each species, there's a "notable appearance" note, where they say in what book, film, game, etc. the species mainly appeared. In the "Yoda's Species" section, for the n.a., it said:

Episode VI: The Empire Strikes Back.

I find it funny that the writers and editors would make a mistake this big!! And yes, I realise that they're bound to miss things (I do have to edit my school yearbook - I know how difficult it is...) but Ep.V and Ep.VI are pretty big things in the SW universe, and I never would have dreamed that they'd mix them up!

Has anyone else noticed this? I just thought it was funny, and I wanted to share it.

BTW, I also bought a Battlestar Galactica book, "The Cylons' Secret". Have any of my fellow BSG fans read it? If so, is it any good?

-----

Well, it's officially 25 days until Celebration IV!! Who's excited? (That was the stupidest thing I've ever asked...) I'm hoping to go to the CF show... that would be sooo awesome!! I'll have to get tickets soon! And I just read that there's going to be laser tag at CIV. I have to say that that is one of the coolest things I've ever heard! Someone's a genius! Whoever thought that up really knows what people want! I will deffinitely be going to that!

May the Force be With You, Happy 30th Anniversary, and See You at CIV in 25 days!

I find it odd that we get so much enjoyement from other people's mistakes! But I just can't help it! It's great!

Good luck at laser tag!
Thank you very much! I'm looking forward to it!

I'm a fairly new BSG fan, and I haven't read that book. I'm trying to get through the new series.
It's great to hear that BSG is getting new fans. It's so hard to resist, isn't it?!

Hey, that's what second editions are for!
Exactly!

Thanks again everybody!
