If it is even going to be done. Which I think now, it isn't going to. Oh
well.
Sorta, but it's more of a weekly thing.
I'm just a unclear person. I get these thoughts at the spur of the moment
and since my memory fades, I have to get the message out.
Well, the opening music will only be used at the opening of the part of the
big story. Meaning that there would be a title theme music that is used for
tthe duration of that part of the big story. Like the use of a short
version of the "Imperial March" (which was used on the "Dark Forces" game
when the title of the game came up).
Star Wars Withdrawal Syndrome (SWWS) only hits those fans that need to see
Star Wars a lot. If they don't get there dose of Star Wars, they go into
a deep coma cause of the impending threat of that other sci-fi thing that
has stars too (and I don't mean "stars" as "famous actors", harsh aren't
I?).
Really? I never thought I could be!
You though it would never end, did you?
Maybe....hmmmmm?
That was too much on my part, wasn't it? Just way too much!!! 8>
That's if it is ever made.
No prob! I just have too much going through my head, that's all! Way too
much info that some can't stand hearing.
It's that time again.
That's all from me!!!
