The Senate Update: Small and Furry

Article by Bria

"Size matters not", according to one pointy-eared tree stump who nonetheless failed to kick Palpatine's behind in battle. In some situations, this is doubtlessly more true than others, for example in George Lucas' case - the small guys are the ones who play a big role. Artoo, Yoda, Jawas, even Luke Skywalker... and the ever-controversial Ewoks, of course.

Whether you like them or not, whether you think they're cute and cool or pesky and annoying, we don't care. Only a few days ago (at the time of writing this, I'm not in charge of the publishing date) we, that is the Senate, unveiled the new affiliation for the CCC! Thanks to the combined efforts of Hobbie and Soka (and I'm willing to bet Iain had a hand in it somehow) we can now all be Ewoks.

Before you go off and do that, though, bear with me for a moment longer. We still don't have a new DSC, because with CT's resignation, there's no one left to control these senatorial wars debates. See last month's issue for a prime example. As you can imagine, this means that it takes a looong time before anything is ever decided. The debate about the Ewok affiliation was about all we could fit into one month.

I'll leave you with a quote from one of my lecturers: "I always get nervous when people start getting dressed."

And in that vein, from all of us here in the Senate building, have a nice day and a happy Easter! And remember, if you over-indulge on chocolate, Violet is here to dish out more some advice on how to deal with it!

Clear skies!
