A final word before
revenge…
mark newbold would like to say a few words…
No, don’t worry, we’re not going anywhere, not after the
five month break we took re-loading and re-designing the site. What I mean to say is, just a final word
before Lightsabre takes a well-earned rest for a few days. I thought I would take this chance to
explain why, what’s happening, when we’re back and also to thank a bunch of
people for their help.
First off, the reason for the break. It’s due to me, Mark (Jan
Lomona and the Sirens of Amagad) Newbold and Paul (Frayed
at the Edge) Squire flying off
to Las Vegas on Thursday morning for ten days, a trip to the States we’ve done
every three years since 1996. We
saw Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones at the MGM
Grand Showcase, and now we’re going for the hatrick, so if any of our Vegas readers
are there at midnight you may just end up being in a photo that’s displayed
on this site. As for the rest of the
guys, Louis (The
De'Athe Cargo) Turfrey is taking the day off work, as is Jonathan (Death
of Yona) Hicks, and Jasons two week
relocation to the cinema starts that day too.
I think that alone shows this sites dedication to the cause – none of us are
at work!
When we return from Vegas we will hit the ground running
with our Jeremy Bulloch and Daniel Logan interviews, a new story circa
Revenge of the Sith and more new Setnin Selects, something we have been
running in these parts since 2001. Our
intention is to keep the site fresh with star interviews, new images and stories.
Our site reload is almost complete, we have a number of stories waiting to hit the
site and some new ideas brewing. Rest
assured, Lightsabre doesn’t plan on getting stale
any time soon.
Finally, since we came back in March we’ve done so with
the help of a number of folks who have either graced us with interviews,
given valuable advice or their time to the site. I’d like to take the opportunity to
say cheers to those people :-
