Where Have All the Bloggers Gone?

The time has come to make the $15 decision: do I want to renew my Hyperspace or not?

Judging by the state of the blogs, the answer is "no".

There was a time when these blogs were hopping. Several entries a day, and clever entries they were. But now things are just not the same. Too many bloggers have "gone to black" or missing entirely.

Darthgenious7, Lord_Noctifer, darthlando22, 21212121212, Oboe-Wan, JediMasterPickles, darthgenious7, Rive Caedo, jediprincess77, janlomona, Rogueish, Michelle1968, Viridian Saber, anakinside1, Kenobi-fan, Granny-Wan, Lady Shada, Marvolo7, jkelly, YoshiYoda, DarthVicomte, warthog jedi, Evil Darth Bear, Sarlaac-Pitt, jk thunder, Darth Rex0... just to name a few!

Interest in Star Wars hasn't waned; I think folks are just tired of this blogging site. It hasn't been updated, the Featured Blog of the Day is simply the same two dozen or so blogs being rotated, some of which are not active and haven't had entries in years.

The same with the Most Popular feature. Sure, you can tell me the computer does it, but I won't believe you. I had an entry there once that dropped 1100 places overnight. Don't try to tell me that 1100 blogs, some of which were 3-4 years old, got clicked on in an 8-hour period. I'm not that gullible.

In spite of the politics, religion, and censorship, it's been a fun time. But unless I miss the other content on the site I won't be paying the $15. I'll still be around to comment.

And if I think of anything to blog about, I'll be back.

Until then, may the Force be with us all.

BFD FRIDAY! A New Take on that Dang Gungan

So, our friend Esria has come up with a new take on a classic....


...and History was Made


I dug up another oldie, a picture from an old friend:





Happy BFD!

BFD - A Classic Piece from a Friend

Here's a contribution from our very own Galactic Babe!



I saw Giddy kissing Obi-Wan
In the Jedi Temple late one night......
They didn't seem to care
If I had a peek at their affair
They thought that I was tucked up in my chambers unaware.

Then I saw Giddy tickle Obi-Wan
Underneath his beard of sandy blond.........
Oh what a laugh it would have been
If Yoda had only seen
Giddy kissing Obi-Wan one night!!

BFD Day 3: Do You Hear what Luke Hears?

Said the desert wind to the Farmer Boy
"Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, Farmer Boy?
Do you see what I see?
A star, a Death Star, shining in the night
With a laser that's big, green and bright?
With a laser that's big, green and bright!

Said the Farm Boy to the little droid?,
"Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky, little Droid,
Do you hear what I hear?
Hyperdrives, and turbolasers in the air
Does Darth Vader have any hair?
Does Darth Vader have any hair?

Said the little Droid to the Jedi Master.
"Do you know what I know?
Waiting in your hut, Jedi Master.
Do you know what I know?
A Princess needs you and your magic skills
Before the Rebellion the Empire kills.
Before the Rebellion the Empire kills.

Said the Jedi Master to Dark Sith Lord
"Listen to what I say!
Kill me and I'll hurt you even more
Listen to what I say!
A child, your child, is shining with the Force
He will be a great Jedi of course!
He will be the greatest Jedi of course!

ALL I WANT FOR BFD IS OBI-WAN

(All I Want for Xmas is You)

Take back the blasters and holograms.
Sonic grenades on a string.
If I meditated all night long,
I would ask the Force for just one thing...

I don't need speeder rides in the night.
Don't need the sky of blue.
Take back the brandy, fizzies and wine,
'Cause all I want for BFD is you!

I don't need clone troopers,
They don't matter to me!
All that I want, can't be found
Underneath my BFD tree!

You are the Jedi atop my list.
You are my Force Mate, it's true
Oh, Master Kenobi, give me what I need,
'Cause all I want for BFD is you!

I don't need hyperdrive rings,
Laser bolts and flashing strobes.
All that I want, can only be found
Underneath those Jedi robes!

You are the Jedi atop my list
You are my Force Mate, it's true!
Please Master Obi-Wan, give me what I need,
'Cause all I want for BFD is you!

AND... it's not over yet! Here's a poem from the lovely Esria!

It Wouldn't be BFD Without Songs!

Get that lightsaber ready, Obi-Wan!

(Let it Snow)

Well, Order 66 is frightful,
But the Jedi are so delightful.
So before they turn us into bones,
Kill the clones, kill the clones, kill the clones!

It doesn't show signs of stopping,
I brought grenades for dropping.
We could even throw some stones!
Kill the clones, kill the clones, kill the clones!

I don't want to kiss "good night"
You know I hate going out in the war!
But if you really hold me tight,
I'll stick around for some more!

I know your kisses always thrill us,
But those clones are trying to kill us.
So unless you want to turn into bones,
Kill the clones, kill the clones, kill the clones!


For much better BFD Songs than this one, click HERE and HERE. (Thanks, Esria!)

BFD IS HERE! Celebrate With Us!

BFD is here!
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all
That we geeks call
Our favorite time of year!


Yes, once again it's time for Balanced Force Day!

Usually it's Jedi Princess 77 who starts us off, but she's busier than a tauntaun at the North Pole this year, so she's given me permission to start the festivities!

There are no rules, just HAVE FUN!

Song parodies, jokes, blogs about your favorite characters, anything goes!


HAVE FUN!

Let Me Be the First to Say It!

Orlando sucks.

Florida in August sucks. It's hot and humid. Yes, I've heard of AC, but it doesn't help when you step outside your hotel and get hit with a blast of sauna air.

Orlando is next to Disney World, which means it's a tourist town and that makes hotels and restaurants expensive.

And the Boba Fett logo is the EPIC FAIL of all EPIC FAILS! If I do go, I won't have to worry about the celebration store, I wouldn't buy anything with that on it!

For crying out loud, it's the 30th Anniversary of Empire Strikes Back, why isn't Yoda on the logo! Or Vader!

Geez, thanks a lot, LFL...

EDIT: This post maxed out on comments, first and last time that ever happened to me. So, I'm posting all the comments from this and the follow up blog entry here!
