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?

    Er, I loved the list... but you know that Black Swan's not the greatest of movies, right? *shudder*

    Definitely liked the list, though! Ben Burtt! *thumbs up*

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 overwhelmed by our sins,      you forgive them a

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

Ciel Phantomhive vs. Artemis Fowl

  Don't laugh. XD The similarities between the two characters are so distinct and obvious that comparison is inevitable for anyone who's read/watched both series. I seriously thought when I first noticed Black Butler(more popularly referred to as Kuroshitsuji) that it was literally an anime adaption of Artemis Fowl.  Other people have read Artemis Fowl and thought "CIEL HAS A CLONE??!?" So I thought I'd outline some of the differences and analyze who would win. XD Similarities: Appearance:  This is the first similarity, and one of the most major, because if they didn't look so darn alike I don't think the comparison would have been as striking. The above picture of Artemis is a fanart, because there aren't really any good pictures of Artemis, and the manga style makes it more obvious. They are both from the British Isles and have black hair and blue eyes. Both of them lose/change/switch an eye resulting in two different colors.
