Star Wars News:

*Megacon was a GREAT convention this year. The Rebel Legion and 501st were a MAJOR attraction and Peter Mayhew and Dave Prowse were great. For pics visit the Orlando Fanforce site.

*We got a bunch of Star Wars Weekends News this weekend! According to Doug Murray, Temuera Morrison and Leanna Walsman will most likely NOT attend Star Wars Weekends this year, although negotiations are taking place to get Peter Mayhew and Dave Prowse to attend. Jerry Jones (501st) is running SWW this year and he mentions that the 501st (and possibly Rebel Legion) will be major attractions this year. They will MAYBE appear in the SWW parade, but Disney wishes to have a special 501st weekend the first weekend in June (either March 30-June 1 or June 6 -June 8). Also, it seems that costuming making clubs have inspired Disney to invest in new costumes for their characters.

Fandom:

*Well Ive redecorated my room and have come up with millions of bedroom decorating tips! Keep an eye out for those!

*MEGACON REVIEW: The convention was a blast! The 501st and Rebel Legions had their booth and brought multiple Star Wars articles to decorate! I must say the Empire police tape draped around their table was my favorite! Peter and Dave were the same as usual, and great! I have never seen so many costumed Star Wars fans in a sci-fi geared convention, and I must say that the Legions have started a new era of Star Wars fandom!

*This this week's bedroom decorating tip: Running out of space for your action figures? Buy a strong slinky (preferably metal), hang it from your ceiling, and hang you action figures upon it.

Six Degrees of Star Wars:

*Tie Pilots to Jabba the Hutt

Tie Pilots > Darth Vader > Luke Skywalker > Jabba the Hutt

Tie Pilots follow Darth Vader's command, Darth Vader is Luke's father, Luke "negotiates" with Jabba the Hutt for Han Solo's life.
