Random Normality of a Graphical Nature
Dispatches from the Holonet
Hey all Jezmon here. I’ve taken it upon myself to bring you Normalinauts a semi-regular update on the state of the Star Wars universe.
As you know, our faithful leader has an unending love for the “holy trilogy” (his son’s middle name is Skywalker for Force’s sake). He and I have shared this love together all through our formative years. Sadly, his literary tastes have taken him far from the galaxy far, far away, but that doesn’t mean someone can’t take it upon himself to keep you up to date.
So what can you expect from this column?
-
Regular reviews of whatever star wars related materials I’m currently reading(novels, comics)
-
Updates regarding new star wars products (toys, rpgs, video games, etc.)
-
Guides to get you up to speed so you can jump into or back into the universe.
Currently I am in the middle of the excellent Legacy of the Force series so my first column will get you up to speed on what’s happened in the timeline up the start of the series. Followed by a review of the first novel.
I’ll leave you with one of the best fake star wars products ever produced. Originally from Thinkgeek’s April fools day site, the tauntaun sleeping bag.
Now even though this is a fake product, I’m sure there are crafty star wars nerds somewhere trying to make real ones.

all right! i have not read anything related to that universe for such a long time. i am looking forward to what you have to say. i think i got a free e book download for star wars stuff from this site a while ago and i was just lost, so so very lost.
That’s actually the point of my next post is to get you up to speed so you could read that e-book. I’m reading that series right now and it’s really good.
Legacy of the Force is frikkin’ awesome, my husband and i loved it. and i hope the tauntaun sleeping bag gets made. i think a few of the april fools products have become reality, like the grow your own 1up mushroom, right?
Jezmon, I am now in possession of some of the newer SW RPG books. I’m looking at running a once a month game with my friends kids if you’re interested in playing or helping me run it.
@dayflow If someone doesn’t make that thing for actual purchase I’m sending the photos to my wife’s best friend who is like a 7th degree sewing machine blackbelt…since my son’s name is Lucas Daniel Skywalker Pyle, I must take a picture of him sleeping in it. Once I have procured said item, I can perhaps persuade the wife’s friend in making another.
Also, thanks for commenting…I believe this is your first on NR so…welcome!
Are you going to put rotting meat inside of it so you can use the line?
“I thought they smelled bad on the outside.”
Just a little update from the Thinkkgeeks:
ATTN Tauntaun Fanatics! Due to an overwhelming tsunami of requests from YOU THE PEOPLE, we have decided to TRY and bring this to life. We have no clue if the suits at Lucasfilms will grant little ThinkGeek a license, nor do we know how much it would ultimately retail for. But if you are interested in ever owning one of these, click the link below and we’ll try!
But I doubt Lucas will give the go ahead without a rather large fee.
I did put my name on the list to state an interest in the sleeping bag.
