100th Post

In October of 2012 it was announced that George Lucas had sold Lucasfilm to Disney. Shortly after that announcement, this blog was born.

Now it is December 2016, four years later, and 2 Disney Star Wars films have been released to the public. Oh, how far we've come.

In my 100^th blog post, I want to take a moment to reflect on all the ground I’ve covered so far in this blog. I have experimented with a lot of things that I'm proud of. I've tried Podcasting, Live-blogging, Video-blogging, and even some fan-fiction. I've had fun, but most importantly, I have brought together a community of people to discuss everything that is Star Wars.

Year 1: The Hidden History of Star Wars
In the first year of this blog, I focused on the “Hidden History” of Star Wars. All the little secrets behind the making of the films and the expanded universe.
