Lightsabre
News |
Our good friend Mark from Lightsabre has provided the
latest news about his site.
"This week we welcome to the site a first, someone who was interviewed for
our webmaster interviews section back in 2006 and who has now been 'promoted' to
star status as one of the authors of the Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, Bob
Vitas.
Bob has been a friend of the site for a number of years, and his work on
the CUSWE is legendary in Star Wars circles, and it's always great to hear from
him and have him on the site.
In other site news we add our Celebration Japan report (finally),
highlight Farsight Games new ODDS magazine, aimed at tabletop roleplayers, throw
up a new Setnin Select by our good pal Jason Brown (hope the operation goes well
mate, keep off that leg!) and continue to marvel at the brilliance of Bring Back
Star Wars - genius.
Next week our webmaster guest is Matt Glasgow of Star Wars New Zealand,
followed by our next Star guest...ahh, that would be telling."
Be sure to go have a look! |
