Put on the hardhats people…
Okay, who wants to build stuff? Whether it is swords, guns, buildings, starfighters, capital class starships like Star Destroyers or space stations like the Death Star… Um, wait a sec… No, I don’t think I want to build a Death Star. People tend to blow them up before they can really be used. And it [...]
Good Sith and Evil Jedi? Wha…?
Jedi and Sith. Light and darkness. Good and evil. Simple, right? Bioware seems to be hell bent on making what we thought was simple complicated. The whole good/bad thing gets kind of fuzzy, like Dr. Peter Venkman from Ghostbusters put it. Those of us who grew up with the original Star Wars trilogy know about [...]

Star Wars in Second Life
A lot of people may be unaware that the virtual world of Second Life has a community of Star Wars roleplayers. The video below shows one such community. The Dantooine Jedi Enclave is an impressive piece of work, particularly as it was created from scratch, like anything in Second Life. Have a look for yourself: [...]
