The Lonesome Death of Joe Alderaan
There was nothing particularly strange about this Thursday morning as Joe Alderaan, a chartered accountant from Newark, downed the last of his coffee and headed out the door to work. At least, not until he got outside, and found a giant mettalic orb filling the sky. Ironically the last thing that went through his mind was
“That’s no moon…that’s a space station”
He was obliterated instantly.
Many miles away, Obi-Wan felt a disturbance in the force, as if one, non descript voice cried out…and was suddenly silenced.
The Empire continues to deny the incident, saying that “the Galactic Empire doesn’t make mistakes.” Further questions from the press were halted when the Galactic Press Corp all began to choke simultaneously.

An after dinner aperitif

I recently spent a weekend at the West Edmonton Mall, home of various lemurs, waterslides, and aging amusement park rides. While each of those things is worthy of much attention, the thing that was consistently evident was this: Men’s fashion is in a dire state of affairs. I’m talking worse than the 70’s. Worse than [...]
There was a huge announcement last week that caused ripples of excitement, terror, joy and disdain throughout the Geek Community. Ridley Scott would be making another film in the Blade Runner universe. No word on whether it's a a prequel, a sequel, or otherwise with Harrison Ford's participation being called very unlikely. When we heard the news, we figured it definitely called for a round table...

Funny!!!
I love the fact that they killed a guy named Alderaan instead of the planet… But then I got to thinking… Was that BEFORE or AFTER the planet Alderaan’s demise?
One would think that if Star Wars happened a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, then this Joe Alderaan, a chartered accountant from Newark, must have been from the planet Newark back in the past….
Unless we’re thinking like Monty Python, then all that time line garbage goes out the trash chute. I mean, if you saw the search for the Holy Grail, then this totally makes sense.
