Do you know your place in the galaxy?
Neil Baker, aka the StarWars.com blogger nob01, is putting together a fan documentary called A Place in the Galaxy on the Star Wars blogging community. He’s recently launched a site for the project, and will be at CIV with camera in hand. In his own words:
The theme for the film is how communities grow and nurture their family members.
A Place in the Galaxy is a documentary examining the phenomenon of Star Wars and the nature of the fan community that has built up around it. The film will partly focus on the blogging and fan site community, and will investigate the relationships between fans, their common dreams, their personal stories and how the Star Wars saga has impacted their lives.

CIV: Is Sansweet dropping hints?
About a three quarters through the latest Force-Cast, Steve Sansweet says “we’ve got a guy that we’re bringing in who is an expert on Indiana Jones – in fact he sort of is Indy himself, in a way,” Real archeologist-type or someone far more familiar to fans? We’ll just have to wait and see… However, he does promise that “this is very much a Star Wars convention,” so don’t fear an Indy takeover.
There are a couple less vague CIV scoops as well – skip forward to about halfway through the podcast to hear them.
