We did our annual Holiday Special in front of a LIVE audience! It was very much like a radio show from 1920’s, as all parts were performed on stage. It took place, Thursday December 12th, at the Albuquerque Press Club. The show was to benefit The Roadrunner Food Bank of New Mexico.

The show was sponsored by Local-iQ and Rebel Donut.

Darth Maul Returns From the Dead!

Oh, Darth Maul. Poor guy couldn’t even make it past one movie while Jar Jar got to be in three. However, even though his time with us was brief, Maul has over time become considered one of the coolest characters in the Star Wars universe. This makes it all the more tragic that he had to meet his end so soon. But fear not! For finally, after over a decade, Darth Maul will be making his triumphant return…kind of. You see, he won’t be the same Darth Maul we’ve seen before, but rather an animated version of the Sith apprentice in an upcoming arc on Star Wars: The Clone Wars. While it may not be as cool as seeing him in a new Star Wars movie (when are we getting one of those by the way?), this trailer showcasing his return actually looks really sweet. It will certainly make fans happy, even though no real explanation has yet been given as to how exactly he is still alive after his…you know…being cut in half and falling down a giant pit and all. Oh well, whatever harm has been done in the way of story continuity will surely be more than made up for with the exciting return of one of the most loved villains in the whole franchise.
