And speaking of nostalgia, I was thinking a lot about the identity of “Surfer Girl” from the blog Surfer Girl Reviews Star Wars yesterday. Kind of strange to put names to faces and spin-off blogs to Tumblr and Twitter accounts. Anyway, there was a TON of actual news today. You’d hardly think it was December.
