Top 10 Notable SW people of 2010

 UPDATE: I'm so sorry! I got this wrong. The Jedi Path reached #15 on Amazon.com, not #40.
Before it gets too late to do this.....
 
What is the name for SW actors/authors/producers? Celebrities? Not in order-these are just some SW "people" who deserve a shout out this year.


1.) Harrison Ford
Congratulations on his marriage to Calista Flockhart! It took place June 15th, in Santa Fe.
2.) Daniel Wallace
For writing one of the most wildly anticipated SW books of all time, The Jedi Path! It reached #15 on Amazon.
3.) Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff
Her much-anticipated novel, formerly-Holostar(I can't remember what the new name is. Shadow Play, Shadow Games, something about shadows?) is due Sept. 27th. She also wrote my favorite filk ever, Midichlorian Rhapsody, with her husband.
4.) Ashley Eckstein
By creating the clothing line Her Universe, she demonstrated that she loves working on The Clone Wars, Star Wars in general, and it's not just another job for her. 
5.) Natalie Portman
Back to the movie scene with Black Swan, engaged to choreographer Benjamen Millieped.
6.)Ben Burrt
For writing the fantastic book The Sounds of Star Wars. Sounds regaled us with lore, behind the scenes stories, pictures, and some pretty sweet sound effects.
7.) Christie Golden
Settling down in the SW author scene with her second SW novel, Allies. Her third and final FOTJ book, Ascension, is due August 16th. Lets hope we see more of her in Star Wars.
8.) Dave Filoni
For the first part of another wonderful season of The Clone Wars. Also, everyone who worked on this.
9.)Sean Williams
For Fatal Alliance, officially the oldest(chronologically) SW novel! Yay!
10.)Catherine Taber
Padme's been getting a lot more air time in TCW lately. Catherine's voice is just what I imagined her to be.

Any other suggestions?

three amazing--and relatively little known--psalms

So I'm reading Psalms in the Bible right now. Well, Psalms is one of the three places I read from. I'm reading the Bible all the way through and read two chapters from three places--the Old Testament, the middle of the Old Testament, and the New Testament--every day. I'm in Deuteronomy and Romans in the other sections, but in the middle I'm still right where I started from-Psalms. Cause Psalms is really really long. I was getting kind of tired of Psalms(which isn't really the right attitude to be reading the Bible in). But I realized there are some really breathtaking passages in Psalms, and I'm glad I read them. These are my three favorites: *Buck Forester on Flikr Psalm 65 This one is about God's spectacular creation. What mighty praise, O God,      belongs to you in Zion. We will fulfill our vows to you, 2       for you answer our prayers.      All of us must come to you. 3  Though we are overwhel...

Howl's Moving Castle book analysis

“I feel ill. I'm going to bed, where I may die.” ― Howl, upon having a cold. I've decided to call them "book analysis" because they're not really reviews that tell you how much I liked the book, rather,  me taking the book apart and looking at different aspects of it for my own entertainment. Read on. Also, read Howl's Moving Castle. This is the original cover of Howl's Moving Castle and I have got to say it is the UGLIEST thing I have ever seen. I like the new one much better. Ahem. First of all, I should point out that Howl's Moving Castle is a children's book. However, I like to hold all books I read to the same standard, after all, they're written by adults. I had biased expectations of Howl's Moving Castle from the start, because I kept hearing from several sources how amazing, how fantastic, how hilarious and how romantic the book was, and hearing the perfectly gorgeous soundtrack by Joe Hizazi(somethin...

Her Universe

  Before I start, let me just say this. I appreciate what Ashley Eckstein is doing. It's obvious she really cares about and is enthusiastic about her line, and she's using her position to make our days(and wardrobes, apparently) a little more cheerful. However, I don't think Her Universe is the huge movement she expects it to be. The website   talks about how female SW fans have a hard time finding merchandise designed "just for us" and the trials of having to wear either "very girly stuff" or "men's stuff in small sizes."   This post from Club Jade clearly favors and is enthusiastic of Her Universe. Vivenne's comment,(the 6th) says everything more eloquently than I ever could. "However, it’s NOT our turn. We’re NOT getting what they’ve got. I STILL don’t wear Star Wars franchise stuff because there is no way I can afford Her Universe. $30 for a TEE SHIRT? No. No no no. I’ll keep buying the $9.99 shirts for g...
