In Soviet Russia, obviously a golfer is not you.

I watched the anime. Thought it was good, but I wouldn’t watch it again.

Good night, OT.com. Good work. Sleep well. I’ll most likely ban you in the morning.

What is this, Soviet Russia?

What is this SAD thing you refer to?

True to my word, I’ve rewritten my prior entries. The heaviest revisions were to the second entry; the tension between characters had been made less verbal, and the son Dwayne has been jettisoned from the plot altogether.

I have to say I like what you have in mind for the characters. I particularly like your take on Qui-Gon as a gray Jedi/light Sith.

Not amusing enough.

Lol those posters all look the same.

They’re just calves, Frink.

Han the only one who shot – and he’s gloating over it.

Gooood.

Those kids obviously don’t adhere to “honour thy father and thy mother”. Not that that’s a commandment I’m perfectly in-line with. . . .

I’ve seen eleven of those films. The only one I’d rewatch is the first Captain America. The rest are just so interchangeable.

Yep, Georgie boy was definitely making things up as he went along. He never should’ve fired Gary Kurtz. ** Return of the Jedi was originally going to be about as dark as The Empire Strikes Back but George scrapped that idea much to my chagrin. Instead they went with the version of episode 6 that follows a lot of the same beats as episode 4 does. ** It’s also quite similar to episode 7. Too much repetition in this saga if ya ask me.

** If we’re going to bring up changing premises, it’s only fair to bring up the fact that the premise(s) of Empire Strikes Back/“Star Wars II” changed almost half-way into the writing process. As per the story treatment and first draft, ESB wasn’t going to leave so many loose ends as the film did. Han doesn’t get frozen in carbonite, and Luke successfully faces his “trial” - i.e. refuses to join Vader and the dark side - and is a Jedi Knight by the end of the story. Thus, the third film wouldn’t have needed to resolve what the second film left unresolved (and no need to stretch the OT’s story into nine episodes).

And Vader wasn’t going to be Luke’s daddy in the earlier draft of the script for The Empire Strikes Back either. It still stands that Return of the Jedi would’ve still been a whole lot better if Irvin Kershner filmed the original ideas for The Empire Strikes Back. But then again maybe the original Star Wars trilogy only should’ve been 2 films. Hell anymore I just mainly watch the original along with the new Rogue One nowadays. 😄

Where can I read this early TESB draft that you speak of?

Yeah, those dreams are double-edged swords. They make you feel great while you’re having them, but once they end, you feel worse than you did before they started.

LOL

I know.

I am in a stalled state of writing a fictional book that deals with Islam and a new faith dealing with branching off from Islam (somewhat like the Bahai or the Druze).

A new faith branching off an older establish faith. Hmm, that seems to remind me of something . . .

Yes. It reminds me of Dune, too.

Mentioning typos? That’s a paddlin’.

Maybe Rodians died out in between ROTJ & TFA.

Ooh, wouldn’t that be a splendid development?

Here’s a dream I had last night.

I paid a visit to my local library. While at the check-out counter, I saw that a new librarian had been brought on staff. She was five-to-ten years younger than I and rather short, only about five-feet tall. She wore her ash blond hair short and feathered, and her eyes were blue and watery. She wasn’t gorgeous, but she certainly was pretty. She was wearing a gray-and-cream striped T-shirt which really hugged her modest but perky chest.

We got to talking. That’s when she made it clear to me in no uncertain terms that if we weren’t in such a public place, she’d jump my bones right then and there. We then made arrangements to meet somewhere after she got off of work to fool around.

I got the sense this woman was going to be nothing but One Night at McCool’s-styled trouble.

Yes, I should become a hand model.
