That's my King you see before you

Viggo Mortensen is just too cool for words.

Uhm... I'd better change topic before I go all mushy here. :D

"Star Wars: Clone Wars" creator Genndy Tartakovsky was recently interviewed about the micro series and I found this interesting:

Q: There are a lot of characters in the next batch of episodes that will be new to the casual Star Wars fan -- like Barriss Offee and Luminara Unduli. Why did you choose to bring them into the story at this point?

A: We briefly saw these characters in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones and thought they were really cool. So we decided to build a couple of episodes around them.

We always loved the idea of where the crystals that power the lightsabers come from. And of course, during war, someone would always sabotage the supplies, so that's where this story comes from. The Seperatists want to destroy the Jedi crystals so that the Jedi would not have powers. So that's where that story originates -- so we can see the Jedi Caverns on Ilum.

It's part of the classic Star Wars lore that we all kind of knew about. It was a mystery that we wanted to explore. All these stories have originated from things we've always wondered about. Everything flowed really easily. We didn't have to do much research. It was embedded in us.

Oh boy... when are they showing that here?!?!?!?!

I will take a page out of old Mad-Eye Moody's book to formulate this month's motto. Cautious Belief. Coupled with Constant Vigilance, it's guaranteed to keep me sane. I hope.

Zero quoted: "Everyone wants to be found." This reminded me of an essay from "All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten" by one of my favorite authors, Robert Fulghum. He said that there are some people who are ultimate hide-and-seek experts, they never get found at all. Some are too stubborn, they wouldn't even come out of hiding even if the game has already ended. Looking back, I noticed that there were times I hid too well, kept so silent, nobody even noticed I was there. But the prospect of hiding and eventually being left alone is just too sad to imagine. So while the Universe is being kind to me these days, I think I can safely try holding out for more? I want to get found.
