11ThirtyEight

Screen Shot 2013-03-06 at 12.41.20 AM

11ThirtyEight is a brainchild of mine that I’ve been wanting to do for a while. In terms of Star Wars news/fansites, I always found them to be a bit lackluster. There are sites that either have good content and poor design or good design but poor content. 11ThirtyEight is my ambition to combine the two and make information accessible to all no matter what device the reader is using.

It’s a one-man shop at this point which means that posts are sparse between my points of work but I love Star Wars and will hopefully continue to grow this as time goes on.

It’s not a trap: Disney buys Lucasfilm/Lucasarts

On the day of the announcement that Disney bought Lucasfilm (and Lucasarts by extension) from George Lucas for $4 billion in cash and stock, my first reaction was, “Damn. He’s even richer than before!” Then I immediately panicked about the future of the franchise, that it would be Disneyfied, so on and so fourth. I’m a lifelong Star Wars fan and I’ll proudly admit it. I have all of the DVDs released, the Blu-ray set, the soundtrack to accompany the movies, The Clone Wars seasons 1-4 and a few mini action figures from that series. Also, I have a fair number of the Expanded Universe books and even a few of the radio novelizations. Yes, call me lame, I know. I’ll treasure it dearly.

I’m sure from this, you can see why I was concerned when I came across the story. Once the panic set in, I had visions of Jar Jar dancing around network, holding hands with ewoks while singing “It’s A Small World After All.” That’s what nightmares are made of. Then I came down from my surprise and started to think about this rationally and came away pleasantly surprised.
