Thanks John – welcome! Love Star Wars: age 9 and Blue Milk Special. Funny how Star Trek came up in Rod’s blog discussion. Guess I’m going to see if Star Wars and Star Trek can play well together!
I would, but there’s that blogger commandment thing!
And yes, I may have found myself toy shopping again, right there next to the kid trying to figure out what he can get his mom to buy him!
Working on this Star Trek intro, I was like, they sure talk a lot more than the Star Wars guys. I think that’s to Star Wars’ credit.
If the Battle of Hoth had happened in Star Trek, the attacking fleet would have opened a channel first to talk. Even the Klingons would. Even the Borg would.
But not in Star Wars. Vader would preferred to have carpet bombed Echo Base from orbit. As it is, the walkers stroll into range and open fire. Death Star blows up Alderaan. Rebels blow up Death Star. Hoth attack. Endor attack. In none of those cases do the commanders start proceedings with a lengthy chat on their viewscreens.
But I prefer Star Trek to be talky. When Star Trek did the war thing in Deep Space Nine and Enterprise, when there was probably a lot less talking and more shooting, I didn’t watch it very much!
I am loving this so far! I still have all my old Star Wars toys, though they’re in storage now. As are all my Star Trek toys, my Batman and Justice League toys, my…you get the idea. I never stopped collecting though. My current toy obsession is the Clone Wars. Star Wars was my first love, and you never really get over that.
I remember as a wee lad setting up scenes from the movies and taking photos with a film camera, then using marker to draw in lasers and such. No Photoshop in those days! What you’re doing is what I always dreamed about doing, and I can’t wait to see what you dream up next!
Yes, all my stuff was in basement storage too, for about 20 years. I suddenly found myself with a lot of room in my house so I decided to bring them up and set up displays to fill shelf space. Then they just called to me!
Thanks, Becky – welcome! Yes, the Enterprise crew encountered the Star Wars folks, assumed they were all the same, and gave them a label, just like most of the other alien species they meet!
It appears to me that this web site doesnt load up on a Motorola Droid. Are other folks getting the exact same issue? I enjoy this blog and dont want to have to skip it whenever Im away from my computer.
Hmmm, that’s not good. There’s probably a setting I can adjust to make that happen. I’ll look it up. Anyone out there using WordPress who could help?
Thanks!

Gi Joe, He Man, Transformers, I can’t wait to see what is next?
If this series keeps up (and I hope it does) I see you raiding garage sales, and junk stores, for characters in the near future.
BTW please link to “Turning to the Dork Side”, Neil Baker’s page also rocks!

Oh, Turning to the Dork Side and Neil Baker are the same thing! Excellent stuff! Link is made – thanks!

This is some really great stuff. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Thank you!

Make that 30 years :/
I love that
This is fantastic, just came over from SWA9 and BMS. Loving the name “Kennerites” – hilarious! Looking forward to more!

Genius indeed.

I updated to the latest version – hopefully that will help?
Er, is this SPAM?
Uh oh, maybe…
