By showmescifi Posted in scifi Tagged: disney, science fiction, scifi, star tours, Star Wars Star Tours is a classic Disney motion simulator ride… But that’s just the prob isn’t it? It’s classic – it’s old and dated even more so than the Star Trek Experience was in Las Vegas. After a magnificent run, Star T...

By showmescifi Posted in scifi Tagged: clone wars, science fiction, scifi, Star Wars Don’t know about you but we miss Clone Wars and can’t wait for season two to start.

By showmescifi Posted in scifi Tagged: Christine Golden, fate of the jedi, Omen, outcast, Sci Fi, science fiction, scifi, Star Wars, starwars We mostly liked the first book in the Fate of the Jedi series: Outcast.  It starts off an interesting new Star Wars series.. The only problem is that this series is al...

By showmescifi Posted in scifi Tagged: science fiction, scifi, Star Wars, The Old Republic This is perhaps the most awesome game trailer ever made. The animation is frakking fantastic!

By showmescifi Posted in scifi Tagged: comic books, Dark Horse, science fiction, scifi, Star Wars, star wars legacy One of the best parts about Star Wars Legacy is the complexity of the larger Star Wars universe. But sometimes it gets a little too complex. In this issue we get a one off story updating us on th...

By showmescifi Star Wars Clone Wars Wild Space by Karen Miller is a great book. It fits into the new Star Wars Clone Wars canon with the animated series (complete with Ashoka). It fits in between Clone Wars Episode 6 and 7 where R2 is lost. This book is about the Dark Side.

By showmescifi As a loyal Dark Horse reader - i would have read all the titles anyways. I’m not sure that it pulled in new readers - but it was neat to have some small link spanning all the Star Wars titles. In the end though, Vector fell apart and the AWESOMENESS of Legacy just blew it out of the water. Posted in sci...

By showmescifi What a great kriffing issue. The double cross (or maybe triple cross?) is in with the Muir Talisman and its human host vs Cade Skywalker vs. Darth Krayt vs. The Imperial Knights. and what about Darth Talon (aka the Sith Hottie?) SHE’S BAAACK and she still has the hots for Cade (where was Delilah B...

The first Knights of the Old Republic Trade paperback for only $7.58 There are also whole sets of Star Wars Tales and Star Wars Clone Wars and Star Wars Empire graphic novels at 60 percent off too.

By showmescifi Overall though a great book - I just wish the end would have been thought out a bit better instead of being total nonsense.

By showmescifi UPDATE OCT 24, 2008 *** AMAZON has refunded me the $0.60 and I even got the book - only two days after it hit the stands.

By showmescifi If Dark Horse is ever to attemp such a multi-timeline story again i hope they just do a time travel - force flow walking thing. The linear timeline here just sucks.

By showmescifi I bought the Dark Horse graphic novel version of Star Wars the Force Unleashed the week before the game came out, i started to read it before playing the game and then stopped. Also the ‘Secret Apprentice’ is referred to as ‘Starkiller’ the whole time too.

By showmescifi Star Wars The Clone Wars movie was ‘ok’..but remember it really was just the pilot for the bigger series..the one that will start on Cartoon Network starting on October 3rd. The first trailers are now up for the regular series and it ...

By showmescifi As opposed to the New Jedi Order - Legacy of the Force is taking twists that are not trite, they’re actually really well conceived. It’sa shame that Karen Travis is such a poor writer…but Troy Denning really is a star.
