I Sense A Great Disturbance in the Blogosphere...

by Joe Katzman at May 15, 2005 4:28 AM

Will Collier of Vodkapundit steered me to a new blog, and I must say, it could become even better than Saddam Hussein's. Where else can you find such memorable posts as:

Darth Sidious: People Person
Blasted Contractors!
The Tao Of Sith ("Wait a moment. Do you even know the difference between the light side and dark side of the Force?...." Obi-Wan replies in the comments section)
Ewok Cook-Out. See also the comments section, in which Captain Arroway of the Star Destroyer Incinerator questions the Galactic Empire's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.
Keep On Darthin' In The Free World
Chistmas on Hoth
And Me, With A Pain In All The Diodes Down My Left Side (bonus points if you get the non-Star Wars reference)

Yes, Darth Vader has a blog. Will is right - it's very, very good, alternating between hilarious and philosophically interesting. Too bad my fellow Canadian Matthew Frederick Davis Hemming wasn't writing, oh, the last 3 movie scripts or so.

The perfect way to waste a dreary Sunday afternoon.

Heh, another celebrity blogger.

Damn, that guy's funny. Compelling, too.

Too bad my fellow Canadian Matthew Frederick Davis Hemming wasn't writing, oh, the last 3 movie scripts or so.

Only the last three...?

Seriously, the guy is far, far better than anything that has appeared in a George Lucas script ever, including the first (real) Star Wars. The talent is in the blogosphere, the money is in Hollywood. Something wrong with that.

I'll say this, too. Some of his commenters are almost as gifted as he is.

My favorite Star Wars movie is the one about the two guys who worked in a convenience store, who argued that the destruction of the second Death Star was morally justified in spite of the many civilian contracters who were killed.

That movie was better than all the rest of them, and it cost less than George Lucas' catering bill.

That would be Marvin the Robot from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Glen, you mean 'Clerks'?

#9 from Robin Burk at 6:46 pm on May 16, 2005

Nah. The BEST fan film is Jar Jar's Walking Papers.

#10 from Matthew Frederick Davis Hemming at 2:57 pm on May 17, 2005

Go figure.

I always figured the best Star Wars movie ever was Kurosawa's "The Hidden Fortress."

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.

Finally, note that a constant onslaught of Trackback spams from auto-generated blogspot blogs has forced Winds to ban the blogspot.com domain from use in comments or trackbacks. If you host on blogspot, consider moving; otherwise, the complaints need to be directed at Google not us.
