A Year in MINIons- MINIon #1904

Those people who know me, know how I really like Science Fiction, it has been my preferred way to escape the real world since I was a kid.  I remember watching old serials with Buster Crabbe, and the classic B-movies of the 50’s.  I watch Star Trek, even have scars from watching a Labor Day Weekend Marathon having moved a TV outside so I could get some sun (2nd degree sunburn). Then came Star Wars… Like most kids in the late 70’s that shaped my life, until George Lucas ruined it for me.  I had my view of the world, I had nostalgia for Star Wars, Empire, and Jedi.  Then George Lucas decided to “thrill us again” with the prequels- shedding light on how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader… those films don’t exist for me, after waiting in line for the first showings of each film I decided that I liked what I saw as a kid.  I know some people liked those films, and I’m fine with that.  I’m entitled to my opinion, just as they are entitled to theirs.  I had walked away from Star Wars and had embraced the Roddenberry side of the Force.  So when I was asked to create a “Padawan Jedi” MINIon I had to smile and bite my tongue. 🙂
