Here are some pictures of some Star Wars graffiti I see on my way to work. Just thought I would share.

Thoughts on Mortis
To Jimmy Mac and Jason,
Last year, at the Comic Con panel with Dave Filoni, Dave said that the Mortis themes would be explored more. One thing that I caught this season relates to your Season 4 wrap-up show. You were talking about the Rule of Two and the rise of more Sith in the galaxy, and I thought of something interesting.
In Season 3, during the episode "Altar of Mortis," the Father says: "As my Son has descended into the Dark Side, so have the Sith gained strength..." I know it's a bit of a long shot since the Son was killed, but if you think about it, the Sith have gained strength. Palpatine's plans are getting stronger, and on another obvious note, Darth Maul is back with Savage at his side.
All I can say is, their mascots better be the "Falcons."
Your pal,
DoctorW

Fan-Organized Church Service at C6
Hey guys,
I know that we are just now starting to get all of the details from Celebration 6 out there, but there is a neat opportunity I've been presented with that I am hoping you will help me promote. On the Sunday morning of Celebration, some friends of Geek Out Loud and myself will be hosting a Sunday morning worship service for those who are so inclined to attend. The service will be at The Rosen Plaza and start at 8:30 that morning and run until 9:30. That way, we will be done before the doors open at the convention center so people can leave and head straight there and be ready to go on in.
It is open to everyone and completely free to attend. There will be some coffee and pastries provided too.
Anywho, if you guys would be willing to start mentioning this in your Celebration coverage I would greatly appreciate it.
Can't wait to see you there, Steve Glosson

A Trooper Trek Update
Hey Jimmy Mac,
Trooper Trek and 501st Legion Trooper, Jacob French finished his trek across Australia yesterday and here are links to some videos you may not have seen yet.
Also, while he was in Melbourne a few weeks back and staying at my house, the documentary crew came out to interview me about him. As it was to be on camera, I of course wore my ForceCast t-shirt.
Cheers mate and may the Force be with you.

Star Wars Pub Crawl
We are hosting the first annual Star Wars pub crawl on May 4th in Fresno, CA. We could not think of a better way to celebrate the day that shows appreciation for the thing we all love and grew up with in our hearts. We are trying to get the word out there as much as possible and would love it if we could get a shout out on the show. Sorry there will be no Kitster due to the age limit on the event, LOL.
It is going to be in Fresno's Tower District on May 4th, starting at 7:30pm. Dressing up in costume is preferred but not mandatory. We can be contacted on Facebook (search for "Fresno Zombie Society") for more details.
This is going to be an amazing time with lots of fans having the time of their lives. Hope to see you all out there.
The force will be with you, always.
