Star Wars Insider #135 splashes the cover with some iconic characters as it kicks off a look back at 30 years of videogames. From Atari to The Old Republic, there’s quite a  collection of highlights.

Star Wars author Karen Miller revealed on her blog that she’s returning to Star Wars with a short story for Star Wars Insider magazine.

So,  a reasonably quiet weekend, with some research and some getting ready to put together a short story for Star Wars Insider magazine. I guess I can gloat a bit and share that I got to read the new Aaron Allston extravaganza as preliminary research … bwahahahaha! *g* Allston fans are going to have such a blast with this one, I’m sure.

Thanks to Club Jade for the heads up.
