Corran Force. One of the legends of the Brotherhood, both before and after the exodus, has stepped down due to his

RLC's - but no one can hold it against him. A child is far more imporant than playing 'jedi' online.

Though a lot of people mention about bitching at or about him, I never had real trouble with CoFo, and tried my

best not to cause it for him. I remember when I pushed for the Custom Lightsabers to be widely spread - I was told

I'd have to approve every single custom and then pass them to CoFo to throw on dossiers. Soon it got to a point

where they were coming in faster than either of us could keep up, so CoFo made me my own saber administration

section when I log in. It's still in place today, and every time I use it I think of how I used to send the notes

off to him to attach them.

Yeah - I'm rambling.

In short - Good luck CoFo, with your new appointment, your new son, and all that keeps you busy in the Real World.

Remember you always have a friend here in the Brotherhood, and we all look forward to hearing from you now and

then. Don't become a stranger.

• Site Reconstruction
  

Uploaded JO skins for General DJB/DJM/RG. You can use them in JA too but they have no extended sound support (ie:

taunts).

• Grant Of Arms Requests These are still on hold - as in don't request them. I'm still getting a few requests every couple

days.

• Custom Lightsabers
  

None submitted. None requested. None created this week.

Reporting your custom lightsaber ended Feb 12.

Readers of the Sith

StarWars.Com has a

great list of books - from novels to reference guides - that are coming out in celebration and support of the new

film. Be sure to check it out... You know you want the coloring book.

D-20 D-mentia

In the same vein as the HEROCLIX stuff I reported last week, Wizards of the Coast is hoppin on with their own

miniatures. [This new ROTS

miniatures pack](http://www.starwars.com/gaming/other/tcg/news20050208.html) is meant to help bring all your SWRPG sessions to a whole new level with Jedi, wookies and even

the infamous General Grevious.

Lightsaber with Bonus!

Looks like someone screwed up. Check out this article and

the accompanying photos about some Star Wars merchandise that's not supposed to be out til after ROTS hits.

Even 3P0 Would Freak!

Guess what boys and girls... Republic Commander has gone gold, which means the game is finished and went off to be

mass produced. The preorder has the

coolest bonus item ever: A stress ball in the shape of a Thermal Detonator. Preorder yours TODAY.

Ho boy, what a week. Work has been slow, and I just learned that our primary source of income is 'out of money'

which means work is about to get a whole lot slower. On average I complete about 7 contracts a day, and for the

past few weeks I've been barely doing 1 a day. Add on to it that I'm catching a cold and the work week gets a

whole lot worse.

The homefront kind of sucks. Let's just say I hate to paint - and by that I mean house paint. As an artist, my

perfectionist nature makes the task that much less enjoyable. I had a bit of a breakdown Wednesday because of it,

and things are just starting to get better.

Haven't played any BFV, but I have been vindicated. One of the guys who made the game unenjoyable to me was banned

from my favorite server... for CHEATING. I've always suspected it, but the admins had proof. I might fire it up

again by the end of the weekend.

I have been playing a lot of JA/JO and KOTOR2. For the JA/JO you'll probably find me in the comps every

Tuesday/Thursday and maybe on Saturday/Sunday. As far as KOTOR2 goes, well, it's cool so far.

The business thing is on hold - again - and just in planning stage. What a pain.
