Silver Linings and Moving Forward – Fangirls Find Their Voices

Over the last five days shock, anger, and disgust have been the predominant fandom emotions for many Expanded Universe fans, especially women. The silver lining is that airing the dirty laundry can become a positive point of change when it provides momentum for moving forward.

Missing the Point of Star Wars and Its Fandom

May 7, 2012May 19, 2012 Fangirl Business, Del Rey, EU, Fanboys, Fangirls, feminism, Star Wars

When narrow-minded fans become selfish, and only want Star Wars to be their Star Wars no matter what other fans like differently, they end up not only missing the point of how great it is to be a part of this amazing fandom, but also missing the point of the Star Wars saga itself.

June 7, 2011June 23, 2011 Fangirl Del Rey, EU, Fanboys, Fangirls, ForceCast, George Lucas, Luke Skywalker, Star Wars, The Clone Wars

So the month of May might just go down in my personal history books as a win. Shuttle launch, Star Wars Weekends, Celebration VI announcements, lots of great season-ending finales for my favorite television shows, Legacy: War #6… And that isn’t even the real highlights yet!

No Reboot Necessary: Learning to Love Your Franchise, Warts and All

May 13, 2011May 13, 2011 Fangirl Comics, continuity, EU, Fanboys, Fangirls, George Lucas, reboots, Star Wars, The Clone Wars

I firmly believe that eliminating the single continuity from Star Wars and the Expanded Universe would be a huge mistake – and a blow to the fandom from which the franchise might never recover.
