Keeping up with the Joneses

Life is too short to keep up with all of blogs.starwars.com, but here are few recent gems from the VIP section:

Tasty Taste’s (Leland Chee) Death Star timeline

Dan Wallace on whether Star Wars is science fiction or space fantasy and an unofficial list of Grand Admirals.

Halagard (Abel G. Pena) has a lengthy discourse on Mace Windu and the Jedi Order.

Ghent (Paul Ens) on how Leia remembers Padme.

And last but certainly not least, JessaJediB (Mary Franklin) on Leia and Bail in the Radio Drama.

And comments are now enabled! I’m not sure if you have to be a Hypespace member to comment as you do to have a blog, but a starwars.com account is required. You can check up on all the lastest VIP postings here.

Jedi Rocks

Star Wars characters from the ROTS video game will rock out to Franz Ferdinand’s ‘Take Me Out’ on MTV2’s Video Mods tomorrow. The video features Anakin on vocals, Obi-Wan on guitar, Mace Windu on bass, Yoda on drums, and is sure to be a favorite of drunken JadeCon audiences come August.

Today on starwars.com…

DK Books is doing Star Wars: The Ultimate Visual Guide. Looks like it’ll be pretty extensive. I doubt there will be as much as the Sansweet encyclopedia, but who really needs to know all that much about the second guy on the right in Jabba’s palace anyway?

But what every kid (and more than a few grown-ups) will want for Christmas is the Ultimate Build Your Own Lightsaber Kit. Preorder now and save yourself from the Tickle-Me-Elmoesque feeding frenzy.

And finally, for Hyperspace members, the Set Diaries are returning. Now that the movie is out, Pablo can let loose with all the really spoilery stuff. Today, it’s the cruel fate of Shaak Ti.

Good sci-fi is hard to find

The next season of Battlestar Galactica is coming up next month… The Sci-Fi Channel released a second short preview of the new episodes. For more eye candy, check out the S2 promo pictures.

Extremely focused fans can keep an eye on Unofficial BSG blog and bsg_news for more details, including (links to) spoilers.

And have we mentioned that the Sci-Fi Channel is going to be rerunning Firefly on Fridays? In the proper order? If you haven’t bought or Netflixed the DVDs yet, I (and several other CJers) highly recommend you tune in.
