Dearly Beloved....

....you are gathered here to celebrate the times and lives affected by Star Wars...

....it is almost a year since I hung up my bowcaster and had my last forlorn walk around my riverside home and said good-bye to StarWars Galaxies (SWG).

It ended a two year romp in the universe of Star Wars - the universe that has made a large part of my life; the films all came out during my formative years and I grew up with a figure of be-mudded Luke in one hand and a battered Darth Vader in the other (obviously making the obligatorily 'whoshing' sounds).

When I heard that a game was coming along that allowed me to 'live' in a Star Wars world - I thought there could be no better game concept and for a while there wasn't.

I met friends and enemies, explored all the familiar worlds and scenes of the films. I battled StormTroppers, met Luke and Leia, worked for 'Jabba the Hut' and became an exotic Dancer!

Saddly for many reasons I said goodbye to SWG and my life has been a shade more dull.

Fortunately, I still had all the films on DVD and I had the various LucasArts Star Wars games to play! AND I had my collection of Star Wars Lego!!!

But now in a new home, my Star Wars Lego is now under threat (cos I aint got no room to display them all) and with the anniversary of leaving SWG it has made ebaying (gulp) some of my sets that much easier to bear (I'm sure psychotherapists will read alot into this!).

So before I wonder off I will leave you with this - check out ebay if you want some Star Wars goodies!
And here is me in the SWG with some of my online (but also real-life) friends!


....LiS wanders off thinking of earning lots and about SWG2
