In your Star Wars ‘verse, Han shoots first. With these bookends, you can make sure that he always will. This is very awesome and I would love to have one of these, although it is a bit too rich for my blood. Of course, if you’re shelling out the wupi-wupi for the original versions on DVD to add to your collection of Special Edition DVDs, VHS and laserdiscs, you probably won’t mind the extra expense.

Ignore the Ewok ears, this is one intimidating presence on your computer desk. Too bad the USB plug doesn’t have the trademark scars, or reveal the face of Hayden Christiansen, looking conflicted. So, is $80 for one gig of this worth it? Sure, you can save your files in it and then re-enact scenes from ESB or ROTS while putting Vader’s mask back on, but don’t we all still do that with our imaginations anyway?

This one’s from Gizmodo in case you missed it recently. There’s actually quite a bit of wacky Star Wars related toys, gadgets, and merchandise out there. You may see a few more posts  highlighting some of those items here soon.

Note to Mimoco’s R&D department: if you can add breath mask sound effects and an occasional Imperial March, this thing will sell. Fast.

“Hey, wouldn’t it be cool if you had a community-driven site where folks could write about Star Wars.”

That’s always been the mission of Jedinet, so this latest development is just part of the natural evolution of a Star Wars based website. Again, it is regrettable that content on this site has been scarce as of late, and for various reasons my contribution has has been lax lately. But with a fresh start, I’m resolved to change that. I’d like to encourage everyone out there, the loyal readers of Jedinet, to register and contribute news and information. The internet is changing, and there’s still a lively community out there. Things are a lot more interactive now.

For the moment, if you have Star Wars related news or information and wish to see it posted here, you may contact me at my temporary address via fazimoto at gmail dot com. Otherwise you’re welcome to join and post away!

I was a long time fan of JediNet and frankly, after the prequels I didn’t venture out much online to any Star Wars news sites.  I didn’t want to be spoiled and my interest in finding out the latest on the movies was dwindling.  Simpy put, there wasn’t much that was bigger than Episode 3.  The series was finally coming to an end and I’d found other avenues of interest to keep me occupied in the aftermath:  the EU.

Like Club Jade, I’m not surprised JediNet has gone down the path of the blog.  I like the change although it’s always sad to see a little piece of fandom history losing a part of itself to accomodate modern practices

With the success of the StarWars.com blogs, I hope to see more people encouraged to continue to post their opinions and other fan interests to keep the fire burning.

It’s cool to see that JediNet is still here in some form. The ASP site was really dead anyhow. Long live the Bloggy JediNet! I think it’s a good idea to have the entire community be your staff. Good luck and I’ll be keeping an eye on this…
