Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
In January TFN’s Jedi Council Literature board counted down their 100 favorite works; Now their buddies over in the EU Community have tackled the Top 100 Expanded Universe characters.
Once again, I’ve copied the top 20 below the cut. Some of their choices might surprise you… Or maybe not, depending how much you read TFN. Continue reading “The Jedi Council’s top 100 EU characters”

io9 discovers Supershadow, the internet’s most laughable Star Wars site. (Unless you happen to be certain type of Wookieepedian, in which case he is the fannish equivalent of Osama bin Laden. They get so adorably worked up over the little nutter.)
If the antics of Mickey and friends are a little too out there for you, io9 has also charted the prevalence of the Hero’s Journey in science fiction.
Okay, so it’s transparent concrete, not transparent steel. Still, progress.
Something else I learned today while searching Wookieepedia: Vader’s armor is made of Durasteel. (Perhaps that’s why the Energizer bunny was taunting him: corporate rivalry.)
A delusional sockpuppet thinks he’s Palpatine. He wants you to send him questions. Okay!
The votes are in, and the Wookieepedians have chosen… Jaina Solo is Miss Star Wars 2007, and Ben Skywalker is Mister Star Wars 2007. Runners up include Mara Jade Skywalker, Darth Vader, Jarael (From the KOTOR comics,) Darth Revan, Leia Organa Solo, Kyle Katarn, the Jedi Exile and Mace Windu.
Congrats to all the, umm, contestants.
