It’s a small booklet for my son, PJ, featuring the Star Wars Alphabet. Each letter represents a character from the Star Wars Universe. It’s pretty awesome. The book was written by Brandon Peat and drawn by Peat’s wife. Check out Brandon Peat’s site to find out how to obtain these.
Here are a few of the letters.
Here is the letter A, which is for Ackbar.
B is for Bossk
Check out Peat’s website to see more of the letters. I may post up some more of them next week.
And thanks Fitz, for the great gift. PJ will love it.
Still waiting for the f**king Teen Wolf cartoon on DVD

So, I’ve talked many times on this blog about my love for the cartoon adventures of Teen Wolf and my desire for a North American release of the complete series (It was already released in Australia). Well, I was writing my On the Shelves column this week for Strange Kid’s Club and two very obscure cartoons popped up as having complete season sets being released. The two cartoon series are Captain Power (1987) and Skeleton Warriors (1994).
Don’t get me wrong, both of these series are pretty good. Skeleton Warriors is actually a pretty awesome concept, but the cartoon itself is, like I said, rather obscure. What’s next? Mummies Alive? King Arthur and the Knights of Justice? Oh yeah, BOTH of those cartoons already have DVD releases (here and here). What the hell is the hold up for the release of Teen Wolf cartoon episodes? They wouldn’t have to do much more than remaster the Australian set into NTSC format. I don’t really care about extras. Why hasn’t this been done? As I’ve seen the parade of odd 80s-90s cartoons get their releases on DVD I become more and more baffled. The Herculoids get a complete series release? The f**king Herculoids? Frankenstein Jr? Moby Dick and the Mighty Mightor?! Seriously? The Teen Wolf cartoon was based on a popular movie. There’s a fairly decent TV show on MTV right this very f**king moment also based on said movie. How much more current or relevant can you get?!
At this point, I have to assume there’s a rights issue. Maybe the fact that MTV is airing the TV show is also causing the rights to the cartoon to be up in the air or on hold. But that’s not my problem. I want the show. I’m tired of watching shi**y, grainy episodes on YouTube like I used to watch porn movies on old pay cable stations. I want these bitches on DVD and I want them NOW.
I mean, The Mighty Hercules was released on DVD. THE MIGHTY GODDAM HERCULES.
Hollywood, your ancestors are WEEPING!
Nerd Lunch Episode 14: The Star Wars Holiday Special
Posted in Boba Fett, Christmas, holiday, movies, pop culture, Star Wars, Thanksgiving with tags movies, Nerd Lunch Podcast, podcasts, pop culture, Star Wars, TV shows on December 6, 2011 by Paxton
Welcome to Episode 14 of the Nerd Lunch Podcast. This week, the podcast is hosted by yours truly and I abuse the powers granted to me by hosting to choose the topic. It is the holiday season so I wanted to do a drilldown on the Star Wars Holiday Special. I also used my hosting power to select our special guest. This week we are joined by long time friend of mine and winner of the Access Hollywood Ultimate Star Wars Fan, Jason Collier.
So amongst grumbling from the Trekkies in the podcast, we all prepared to watch one of the most bootlegged and maligned TV shows of all time.
Come listen to the Nerd Lunch crew run the “nerd marathon” and watch the special and marvel at the cardboard sets, Bea Arthur as a bartender and Chewie’s dad watching Star Wars porn. It’s A-MAZING.
Download this episode from iTunes or listen to it on Feedburner. And yes, we are still on the Zune Marketplace. But maybe not after this episode.
FYI, this is my 500th published post on the blog. Yipeee!
