The Padawan Pause: November 2012
http://padawanpause.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 13, 2012. Starting with a whimper, not with a bang. Since the announcement that Disney was going to buy Lucasfilm, Ltd., and all of the Star Wars. Movies, characters and other assorted ephemera contained within, I've been pretty upbeat about the future of the franchise. Here, at last, was the possibility of new (and canonical) Star Wars. Fan in me who went dormant between films need never die — starting now, there will always be a Star Wars. As long as there's an audience. But I'm famil...

The Padawan Pause: April 2014
http://padawanpause.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 29, 2014. An unexpected turn of events. I had intended this post to be about the unexpected resurgence of my interest in Star Wars. It was supposed to be about how the simple announcement about the EU being jettisoned had rekindled my enthusiasm for the Saga. I was even going to talk about how I, after a long-time and publically-documented indifference to the EU, was considering reading some of the "new canon" books, and was even eager to do so. I'm very happy about the new names that I do.

The Padawan Pause: July 2013
http://padawanpause.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 28, 2013. A matter of time. This will be an uncharacteristically brief post, and composed on my iPad at that. I have noticed that all of spring, and mot of summer have fallen away without me adding to this blog. And while I have a fair amount to discuss and report, I have little time at present.

The Padawan Pause: April 2012
http://padawanpause.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 15, 2012. Me and my House. If there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Okay, it's a stretch, but it's one of my favorite verses, so I went with it. Shoot me. Game and tinkering around on the newly-opened Pottermore. Site It is about the latter that I wish to opine. There's been a lot of griping — a bit of it even from me — about the inordinate amount of time it's taken for Pottermore. I had always sort of liked Gryffindor, but was often embarrassed to say so&#...

The Padawan Pause: February 2013
http://padawanpause.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 28, 2013. I never thought it would come to this; I may be going into Facebook withdrawal. It's only been 24 hours since I made my decision to abstain from Facebook, and here I am, actually wishing I could go check my news feed. I'm actually missing be able to check on people. Hearing about how (INSERT POLITICIAN HERE) is the anti-Christ? Am I tempted to break my Lenten resolution? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Stumbling my way between assorted fandoms since 1962.

The Padawan Pause: January 2014
http://padawanpause.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 12, 2014. Old habits die hard, new habits die easily. Please note that I do not call them "resolutions,' even though that is what they are. Perhaps it is because I associate New Year's resolutions" with words like "abandoned" or "failed.". So my goal for this year is to , no pun intended,. Helping me will be some nice little high-tech tools, I do not run, but I have a Nike app that tracks my indoor and outdoor walks, even though it insists on calling them 'runs.' It's been a vaulable ...

The Padawan Pause: January 2013
http://padawanpause.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 27, 2013. A director with flare. A couple of nights ago, the final piece of the puzzle for new Star Wars. Movies, apart from the casting of actors (or, hopefully, the re-. Casting of actors), was announced. J.J. Abrams, Hollywood golden boy de jour. Was confirmed as the new director for Episode VII by Lucasfilm. Abrams is a favorite of many of my co-workers, particularly for his involvement on Lost. The only of his movies I'm familiar with is, of course, Star Trek. World ever 15 seconds.

http://padawanpause.blogspot.com/2011/06/saga-creed-i-on-eu.html
Sunday, June 5, 2011. Saga Creed I: On the E.U. This will be a. Fairly long screed on my Official Position. On the Star Wars. Expanded Universe. Ahem, and here goes:. I pretty much hate it. Okay, obviously I won't be able to leave it at that. For those of you who don't know, the Expanded Universe, or E.U., are any stories or characters outside of the realm of the six Star Wars. Films These six are called canon. And I both love them and hate them. Mostly hate. Mind you, I've been reading Star Wars. 8212; ...
