Oh My Bob! I'm In Star Wars Insider!

It's true, I've finally made it in! This issues Rebel Rumblings, the "In Space, No One Can Hear You Lie" article. Yes! I'm famous!
And they had
BETTERbe nice to Obi-Wan.
EDIT: For those who would like to know what I said:
"First off, let me say, I love you guys! Every day when I get home I scour the mailbox for the Insider, regardless of how many days it's been since it last arrived. I must say you are in a league of your own with comprehensive Star Wars articles like the lightsaber technuiqes, and your ongoing vehicle section. (Editors Note: But enough ass-kissing, this it what I had to say in defesne of Obi-Wan
)
But seriously, you guys got to stop raggin' on poor Obi-Wan! One of these days he is going to show up at the office with a lightsaber and all, and that won't be pretty. If I do remember, he's a pretty vengeful guy. he even got back at Darth Vader for killing him by helping Luke blow up the Death Star. And finding Yoda, that was totally payback.
I would suggest maybe an Obi-Wan appreciation day, or at least an issue devoted to that fine show of skill, intellect, and cunning, Sir Obi-Wan Kenobi. it couldn't hurt could it? And you know what they say: "Vengeance is a dish best served cold." Well It's very cold in space (EN:cookie to who can get that reference)!" -End
As you can tell, Obi-Wan shouldn't have to take flak from these guys, so someone had to stick up for him.

Close only counts for horseshoes and hand grenades. Or so I'm told.

Horseshoes, hand grenades, and atom bombs or so I'm told.
But that is Khan from Star Trek
II: The Wrath of Khan.

Hell, the Insider should do a piece on ASVS and SD.Net. We're holding the damn fort against the Trekkies; we deserve recognition.

I don't think Lucas cares about these debates.
Anyways, congrats to DGG

They should, but of course they won't, for fear of pissing off Paramount. Damn corporate politics.

No, Insider should recognize the fact that we know more about SW than they ever will.
