Title: Big Changes Coming To JediDefender
Post by: Chris on May 14, 2009, 02:45 PM
Be on the lookout for some big news this weekend at JD.

Post by: Scott on May 14, 2009, 03:29 PM
Is it the relaunch of Lobot's Duplex?

I am intrigued.

I'll rephrase and say big positive changes are coming this weekend.

Then you're not merging with RebelScum.com either?

I'm going to guess a name change to JarJarDefender.com to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of TPM!

Am I right?   ???

that domain name is available, for now.

I heard that a Mr. Johnathan C. Lately bought the site (which is unfortunate since now he will have to do the wishlists here too) and that the site is now the exclusive place to get AT-TE replacement legs.

How positive is this change?

Change '08 type change? Or more like Change '09 type change?

Perhaps Chewie will finally post a new chapter in the Ryklof Enloe series.

I don't know why we're waiting until this weekend to formally announce that I'm taking over as administrator.

I think the rumor has leaked out to enough people that we can do away with the suspense.

Is it too early to formally submit my letter of resignation?   :-X

Wonder what it (they) could be?  Rewards program, new look and feel, site merge, new staff, something else?  Guess we'll have to wait for the weekend.

Oh my God.

(By the way, I'm still working on the first chapter, but I'm more-or-less in a holding pattern of sorts while I wait for Photoshop to catch up to the dreams and visions I have planned for the series.)

Why not just make the best of with what you have now, create a complete classic adored by fans all over the world, and then you can just tweak it to death as the technology becomes available?

I could do that, you're right, but this one's special.  I don't want to unleash it onto the internet until it's absolutely perfect, perhaps the best photonovel the world has ever seen.  You know, kind of like Chinese Democracy.  This is basically the Chinese Democracy of photonovels.  Will it be worth the wait?  Absolutely it will be worth the wait.  And as soon as there's a version of Photoshop that can accurately render realistic-looking raw sewage, you'll see it.  I ask that everyone just be patient.
