A Couple of Things I am Stoked For!

I have been a huge fan of Star Wars since I was a wee lad. I remember going to my grand-parents house on the weekends and watching Episode 4 with my Grandpa. Well in the last 10 years we have been given so much Star Wars content that it has been hard to really be excited about anything new. Well last September we were given the best Star Wars video game to date. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed let us play from the Sith perspective, something I was very excited about. Well here we go again. Just watch.


And we also got the first animated series based on Star Wars characters in a long time. Does anyone else remember the cartoon "Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C3-P0"? Didn't think so. The Clone Wars series spawned a very surprising feature-film spin off. Well season 2 is just around the corner and here is the official trailer. Enjoy!



Well I'm sure there will be plenty more Star Wars stuff by the time Comic-Con is over. Until then May The Force Be With You.

Texas In July Involved in Fatal Accident in Tour Van.

I told you guys in the last post about the band Texas in July. Well I found out that they were involved in a fatal head on collision on July 10th while on tour in Missouri. This is what the band had to say about it via there myspace.com blog:

"On Friday July 10th, Texas In July and An Early Ending were involved
in major accident while traveling to perform in Springfield, MO.
The van containing both bands and their tour manager was struck head
on by a driver traveling the opposite direction who, allegedly,
suffered a fatal heart attack, causing her vehicle to cross to the on coming
lane of traffic and initiated the accident.
All the passengers suffered differing levels of injury, some minor but
manageable, others were airlifted to a hospital 55 miles away.
Miraculously, the only fatality in the accident was the driver of the
vehicle that hit them head on. However, three members of An Early
Ending and the tour manager for both bands remain hospitalized.
While full recoveries are expected, the physical and emotional trauma
experienced by all involved is extensive, and we ask for your thoughts
and prayers for all involved and their families in this difficult
time.
"

Here is a news report on the accident.
