We Don’t Care About The World Cup

Ghana beat the U.S. in a knockout match of the World Cup in South Africa today.  But we didn’t really talk about that match (despite my deep disappointment).  Instead, we talked about Star Wars (namely Celebration V) and every other topic under the sun.  Thanks to our participants from today, who included Jack Crabtree, Nick Sanchez, Paul DePaola, Ryan Zasso, and Sheldon Norton.  I joined the group late, so only partial audio will be available later.  If, that is, you have the tenacity to fast-forward through our random discussions to enjoy our profound Star Wars commentary.

Update: Audio has been posted!

What a Blast

Today’s discussion was fantastic.  We went for almost four hours and we covered everything from TCW and the EU to why Kyle Newman is just like Emperor Palpatine.  A great time was had by all!

Thanks to Stuart, Sheldon, Jack, Aaron, Chris, Michael, Paul, Flavien, and Mark for joining us.

We’re Back On

Apologies to all our participants for my absence last week.  We are back on and will be discussing the EU on Saturday, February 20, 2010 at 1:30pm ET.  Our primary topic will be the Mandalorians and their current status in the EU, vis-a-vis The Clone Wars.

We’re on Twitter

SWCLD Returns

We’re pleased to announce that the next SWCLD will take place on Saturday, February 6th, 2010, at 1:30pm ET.  Be there and join us for a discussion about the EU, specifically the Karentravissty, the quality control of Star Wars books, and anything else we can think of!

Yesterday’s Discussion Was Great!

Despite the technical difficulties, we enjoyed yesterday’s conversation.  We talked about a broad range of EU topics, including how to fix it, and how we got to where we are today.  Thanks to Jack (lost_mario_bro), Paul (Murray1134), Pedro (Jorbex), Sheldon, Stuart (shazbazzar), and DamoMandoa.

The discussion recording has also been posted.

Back in the Game

Sheldon, Stuart, and I (Eric) just wrapped up a planning meeting for the next SWCLD.  We will be announcing a date and time very soon.  It feels so good to be back in the game!

UPDATE: The discussion will take place at 1:00pm EDT on Saturday, September 19th, 2009.

Next SWCLD Scheduled for May 9th

It’s been a little while since our last Canon Discussion.  So Sheldon, Stuart, and I will be hosting the next discussion on Saturday, May 9th, at 1:30 PM EST.  Be there or be a shape with four sides of equal length.

Longest. SWCLD. Ever.

One week ago right now, I think we were still going at it with the Canon Discussion that started around 1:30pm EST.  Yep, that’s how much we had to say.  Granted, most of it was off-topic, and granted, people started dropping off throughout the conversation, but we still had a great time.  I’d like to thank RZion, Shazbazzar, Sheldon, Mandy, the Jawas, LMB, and Murray for a fun, action-packed, and insightful SWCLD.  The discussion MP3 is posted on the Recordings page.

Ooops, my bad!

I was out shopping for cars when yesterday’s Canon Discussion started.  And when it kept going.  And going.  They were still going at close to 3:30pm when I got home and realized that I’d missed it.  I quickly joined in on Skype and we almost immediately started going off topic.  I started recording when I jumped on, so the majority of the content is lost forever.  The recording of what I caught before we wrapped up is posted on the Discussion Recordings page.  We hope to do another Canon Discussion next month.
