Jedi Knerds: Star Wars Fans beyond any hope

It is an age of mistrust and growing hatred against the Jedi Knights.
Just as Order 66 is given, the galaxy is torn between four massive factions:
The newly formed EMPIRE, complete with Clone Troopers and newly forged Storm Troopers....
The resistant REPUBLIC REMNANT, composed of those loyal to the old ways and democracy....
The angered SITH forces about the universe, united now to overthrow this so called "Sith Emperor"....
And the fleeing JEDI, their Order decimated, going into hiding or striking back....
It is an age of mistrust and growing hatred. Will you bring peace back to the galaxy,
Or destroy it all together? The choice is yours....

This is just a little advert for sparksided.  Please feel free to delete (if any mods are still here!) if this isn't appropriate.

My friend sapharin suggested that I take up posting to a spiritual community again, like I used to.  The theme - because of my views - is often centered around Star Wars and how to live well.  I thought that maybe people on the member list here might be interested especially since this community has gone so quiet.

So, that's all!  *waves*

I put a lot of thought into whether or not I would do a Reserve List for my print. After mulling it over and over, I decided it would be a good idea to do so.

What I am planning is the List will be for the first 100 prints. #1 thru 100 will be available IN THE ORDER the reserve was received. If you order first, you get #1 and so on and so forth.

I also decided that I will give reservists an incentive. The print will be $30, BUT if you are one of the reservists, you will pay $25. The rules are:

1. If you reserve a print (or prints), I will need you to have your name as appears on your ID because your confirmation email will include which print number you will receive.

Example: If you are John Smith and you happen to tell everyone in a forum you got #1 and Joe Blow wanted #1, I want to make sure John Smith picks it up, not Joe who seemed shifty from the beginning. I didn't like his eyes I tell ya!

2. If you are having someone pick a print up for you (NON-Attendees) PLEASE include the name of the person picking the print up for you in the email.

3. All reserved prints must be picked up at my Art Show table by the closing  of activities Friday, May 25. The exact time is unknown since the schedule has not yet been released. Any prints not picked up will be put back in stock and sold at the regular price on Saturday morning.

4. DO NOT SEND MONEY!!! This is VERY important. You (or your representative) will pay for the print(s) at the show.

To reserve a print (or prints) please email hodgesc4print@gmail.com

You should receive a confirmation email within 24 hours.

If you have any questions, email me at hodgesart@gmail.com . The Email is for the reserve only.

Hope to see ya there!

OH and a reminder that i will be at Artist Alley Table 102

Today is the 10th anniversary of me seeing Star Wars for the first time ever!
Little did I know, as I walked into the theater, how it would change my life. :)

A company has made Real Life Vaporators.

Its a little sketchy on the details, but this device seems to be able to make water out of thin air... in the desert. I wish there was a picture of it.

For those of you that are not members of my Yahoo Group... now would be a good time to join.

On Monday, I will be offering pre-orders for a Yahoo Group only sketchbook. It will not be offered at Cons or in my eBay store and only Group members will be able to get it.

The Sketchbook will include original sketches for "M", "The D'Vilknights" and some Star Wars concepts created during the past 3 years for the Hyperspace webstrip. There will also be a few doodles of the Buffy/BSG/Serenity/Comic sort.

The ordering will also only be available from Monday October 2 until Friday October 6 of this week. So if you are planning on joining, jump on it before 9am PST Monday October 2nd. The pre-order info will be sent out at 9:15am PST on the 2nd.

The sketchbook will not have a limit per person, but what is ordered between Monday and Friday is what is printed.

Hey Folks,

I've received a few emails from folks saying how they wish I had done this on Thursday and Friday because that's when they get paid.... so, because I'm a super cool dude (AGREE WITH ME!!!) I've decided that I will extend the offer from yesterday until Friday evening.

So now you have until 11:59pm, Friday September 22 to get in on the "Buy One, Get One free" webstrip deal, the "Sketchbook w/ Sketch on the back" deal and the "buy a print, get a sketch card" deal.

I want to warn you, there are only 4 Celebration III prints and 4 Female mandalorian prints left.

I will also extend the offer to the Karen Allen Print. Anyone who purchases a set of the "Raiders" by Cat Staggs and I will get a 8.5 x 11 head sketch of the character of their choice (drawn by me... not Cat, LOL).

If someone purchases the Elektra brown bag piece in the store, you'll also get a 8.5 x 11 head sketch of the character of your choice and if you buy the Gothmog (from Lord of the Rings) I will throw in a Sketch Card with a character of your choice.

If you buy a sketchbook, print, print set, the Elektra or Gothomg, PLEASE in the memo of the Paypal payment, let me know who you want sketched.

Basically, I'm cleaning house on art I have available and I'm wanting to make sure the people who want it can get it!

Ok, get a shoppin'!

hi, I'm new to this and all but I figured I could find people who share the same love for this as I. Many of you have been fans longer then I (for I was not born when A New Hope came out). While on my search for some fun and intoresting star wars pages I stumbled across www.supershadow.com. This person claims to have helped lucas with all of the movies and stories. I've reason some of the stuff that he claims to have known and I have noticed and maybe only I have noticed that this guy is full of crap. A lot of the stuff that people ask him, I knew the answers to and I'm sure many of you would know. What I'm asking is for some of you to check out this website and tell me if I am the only one that thinks he is a fraud.
