THE TRUTH SURFACES

Admittedly, I feel a bit uneasy about my push to refer to myself as Master Ranbl Migam. The main reason is that hitherto you have only known me as Mr. Star Wars. Obviously, this is an honorary title bestowed upon me by my acquaintances. Before I make the switch from one alias to another, though, I must be respectful of the fact that the fellow fanatics who frequent this site are genuine enough to use their real, civilian names. Andrew, Pam, Paul, Becky, Frank Milton and the others, thank you for your continued support and interest. We share a very special bond.

Sincerely,

Randall Bliss

THE JEDI MASTER

YOUR JEDI NAME

Recently, I was conversing with some friends. Our subject was what Star Wars name we would choose for ourselves. It caused me to remember receiving an e-mail from someone that contained a formula for finding your true Star Wars alias. I did a search online for "Star Wars name" and found one of the simpler variations of the formula. Here it is:

For your new Jedi first name:
1) Take the first 3 letters of your first name and add:
2) the first 2 letters of your last name.

For your new Jedi last name:
1) Take the first 2 letters of your mother's maiden name and add:
2) the first 3 letters of the city in which you were born.

Other versions allow you to also find your Star Wars honorific name and title.

I hope this information is an enlightenment to those of you who are unsure of your actual identity.

Yours truly,
Master Ranbl Migam
(I added "master" for effect.)

BREAKFAST WITH ARTOO-DETOO



My friend Andrew also shared some pictures of something that recently arrived in the mail. Through one of the many Star Wars tie-ins with breakfast cereal, he was able to send away for an R2-D2 bowl. When you place the dome down on the tray, it beeps just like R2. Andrew planned to eat a big R2-D2 bowl of Star Wars cereal soon after, for a breakfast experience that is truly out of this world. The first photo shows the bowl in its proper position on the sound tray. The second photo shows Andrew with the bowl on his head, which creates an uncanny resemblance to the famous R2 unit.

NEW FACES

I have had a blast getting to know three fellow fanatics this past week. Their names are Andrew, Pamela and Paul. They were kind enough to share with me a picture they had made of the "Return of the Jedi" poster, with their three faces replacing the originals. Paul posed as Luke, Andrew as Han, and Pamela as Leia. Interestingly, Paul and Pamela are siblings, which preserves the Luke-Leia relationship; Andrew and Pamela are married, which preserves the Han-Leia romantic aspect. Quite a good job!
