It also made me feel quite old. I realized I’d been connected for 10 whole years!
Another link of interest is Darth Vader’s blog. I forget how I stumbled across it, but the blog is hilarious. It starts just before the events of The Empire Strikes Back, and is now a ways into it.

On a related note, my Episode III tickets have been purchased and are being held in a secure location. Hope it doesn’t suck. Much ire has been poured upon Lucas already, but if there’s one thing I know, it’s this: If III rocks, I can forgive the craptastic toy-advertisements that were Episodes I and II.

No prizes for guessing when it happened.
