Vin Diesel has half-orc written all over him: literally!

Y'know, most guys just have their wife's name put on their arms.......

Cool beans. Thank you veddy much.  HARP looks very interesting and I had been wanting to check it out.

My email address should be listed with my TWG info, but I will contact Spriggan directly.

Thanxx again.

The only one I am waiting for is the Farscape special.  I hope it makes SciFi reconsider their decision to put the lid on Farscape.

I think Clive Owen has been officially tapped as the new Bond.  I can't confirm this, though, but I am relatively certain.

Actually there are two flavors of Clone Wars figures.  You have the cartoony ones that are based on the well, cartoon.  But you also have all the same characters done in the normal realistic style.  The cartoon ones are pretty bad, but the realistic ones incude some of the best sculpts yet.

The blue, bald alien with the two lightsabers is indeed female.  Her name is Asaj Ventriss.  I think she should be Sith because she is way more scary than Christopher Lee.  Plus, she hangs out with a 2000 year old bounty hunter.  How cool is that?

I don't think Anakin will kill Padme.  Lucas would never allow that to happen; it would be too irredeemable to allow Anakin to murder his one true love and then become one with the Force in RotJ.  

Of course, Anakin just might fall under the mistaken impression that his actions led to Padme's death, when in fact she is still very much alive but spirited away by Obi Wan to have her kids safely away from Anakin.

I always thought that Palpatine told Luke to strike him down to see if he could goad the young Jedi into turning to the Dark Side by lashing out in anger.  Palpatine, if he is 1/10th the Sith he thought he was, would have been able to stop Luke's attack in a hearbeat if he'd have tried it.

As for my predictions: the new movie is less than 10 months away.  Remember what I wrote when you go watch it.

Palpatine does indeed become emporer, but the guy hiding under the robes of Darth Sidious is not Palpatine, but perhaps a tool used by the soon-to-be emporer.

Remember, we never actually see Darth Sidious doing any force-related stuff.

Remember back in the very early days of D20 there was a trilogy of modules called "Witchfire" that was set in a dark fantasy steampunkish type of world with industrial robots powered by magic, huge pistols, etc?  And then a year or so later they came out with the Monsternomicon (still the best danged monster book ever put out).  THEN they came out with the miniatures game War Machine which is currently one of the top selling games on the market.  

Well, Iron Kingdoms is the long-awaited-for campaign book for that world.  

Buy it.

Read it.

Be happy.

Dang, I remember most of the arcade games I played as a tyke.  I loved Wizard of Wor and Joust.  Gauntlet was awesome, as was Golden Axe and Space Harrier.  And how could you not love Donkey Kong.

As far as the mighty Atari 2600 went, my cousin and I used to play Raiders of the Lost Ark for hours on end.  Adventure, Defender, Yars Revenge, Pitfall and (of course) Space Invaders were also favorites.

And I think I might be the only person in the world who actually owned the Atari version of Popeye.

Just picked up my copy of the long-awaited Iron Kingdoms campaign book.  It was well worth the wait.  I think it will blow the doors off of Eberron.  Has anybody else seen it yet?

So what do you all think will happen in episode III?  I have a few predictions:

Darth Sideous and Palpatine will be revealed to be two entirely different people.

Mace Windu will turn traitor and kill many Jedi.

Anakin will think that Obi-Wan is somehow responsible for Padme turning against him, and that will trigger the big fight between them.

Jar Jar will die a very shocking death.

Boba Fett will have his revenge on Mace Windu

Anakin will build the Vader armor by referencing the design of cyborg General Grevious.

Chewbacca will make an appearance.

R2 and 3PO will be mind-wiped.

Any other ideas?

Actually, there is a lot of merit to that approach......

If you want a very brief, thumbnail idea, go to the International Movie Data Base and look up Watchmen.  It is really hard to understand the entire appeal of Watchmen from just a couple of sentances, though.  I really suggest you go down to any comic book store and ask for the Watchman trade paperback.  It is a sure thing that they will have it.  It is very much worth the price to read it.

Basically, Watchmen is what superhero comics SHOULD be.
