My company&#8217;s flagship newspaper, which oddly enough is available to everyone in my building for free, has probably not gone more than two days without a Star Wars story this past month. Now, they are up to two articles a day. Even the world of Nats blogs has been infiltrated, I could have sworn that <b>Niem Numb<\/b> was Nat of the Day recently.<\/p>\n<p>So, what is a guy to do? The good news\/bad news is that we will never have the kind of hype again, <b>George Lucas<\/b> he is done. Of course, I half expect that to be true, but his heirs will be quite happy to honor him after he dies by selling the rights. I think Episode II, I was very disciplined about going in cold, but this time &#8212; not so much. I heard that <b>Kevin Smith<\/b> saw it and said it was great and what we were hoping for in the last two. He confirmed that this was  not for kids, which is really promising. <\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, for those of us who need sort of fix, there exists a new blog that is very, very cool. I caught it on <a href=\"http:\/\/littlecaesarsdailyrandr.blogspot.com\/\"><b>Brenda Mayrack&#8217;s blog<\/b><\/a> and I have to say that it may be the best blog ever. It&#8217;s way better than Wonkette, Rodney Anonymous Tells You What to Think, Real Ultimate Power and maybe even Distinguished Senators. It is called <b>The Darth Side: Memoirs of a Monster<\/b>. Someone decided to blog Darth Vader&#8217;s thoughts. While is an unwieldly way to read it, I suggest that <a href=\"http:\/\/darthside.blogspot.com\/2005_04_01_darthside_archive.html\"><b>you go to the bottom of this page<\/b><\/a> and read in chronological order by scrolling up.
