Here are some more information for Obi Silver:
Princess Leia Organa, who made appearances in A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Star Wars Holidays Special, and in Revenge of the Sith was able to do it and so can you.
Adopted into the Alderaan royal family, Princess Leia was born as a twin to Luke Skywalker and daughter of Anakin Skywalker. Obi Wan-Knobi saw to it that she be removed from her biological parents so that she would stay out of the Dark Side. As she grew, she entered politics and found herself in a number of dangerous situations. While she grew up as a lady in a life of privilege, she quickly learned the perils of her universe. With intelligence, sensibility, and a care for others she persevered many hardships and maintained her royal status.
So how can you take lead of your Universe in the style of Princess Leia? Start with her powerful hairstyle. Curled braids which wrap around the sides of the ears brought Princess Leia the strength she needed to defeat the darkest of villains. You need to purchase a Princess Leia wig, With this wig you will have the power to work in conjunction with whatever force may come your way.
For clothing you will want to dress like Leia. She wore a white, robe-like material with a high neck and flowing sleeves. You can use a plain white gown, bath robe, or even white bed sheet to achieve this look. To match Leia's hood use a bathrobe with a hood or pin a white pillowcase to the back of your gown. If you cant find a hood, simply fold a pillowcase or plane white fabric in a triangle shape. Then pin the two ends to the back of the shoulders and your hooded gown should be complete. Your costume should be fastened with a belt that is tied around the waste. The belt can be white with silver pieces but can be made out of any material as long as you attach some silver accessories to it. Find a pair of bulky boots for shoes and make sure to carry a black toy gun to act as your stormtrooper blaster.
Once you have all these pieces in order you are ready to conquer the universe!
The best way to find quality a Princess Leia Wig is to do a Google Search. You can also find fantastic Costume Wigs the same way.
Learn Japanese Katana Sword Terms (part 2)
In the previous article “Learn Japanese Katana Sword Terms (Part 1)”, we covered the sword glossary of the Katana’s blade section. In this second article, we will continue with Japanese terms used for the Katana’s hilt section. The hilt section starts from the cross-guard and ends at the pommel.
Tsuba is the cross-guard made of steel, copper, silver or some other durable metal and it serves to prevent the wielder’s hands from sliding to the blade during a thrusting strike. It is also designed to protect the hands from an enemy’s sword. A Tsuba usually has fine meticulous design and in ancient days the Samurai craft their family crest on to the Tsuba. These days the Tsuba is a favourite collector’s item. There are still some Tsuba used as family heirlooms passed down from one generation to another.
Tsuka (which sounds almost like Tsuba) is the handle of the sword, commonly made of wood and wrapped in ray skin. Tsuka is where the wielder’s hands grip the sword.
Kashira is the pommel at the end of the hilt.
Saya is the scabbard or sheath usually made of wood to protect the blade. If you’re an anime fan, you certainly know that Saya was the heroine character in Blood+ and she wields a unique sword with a groove that requires her blood to kill demons. Quite a character name for a sword-fighting anime which makes it easier to remember too.
Sageo is the cord used to secure the sword to the obi (belt).
Kurikata is the knob on the scabbard through which the Sageo (cord) is passed through.
Kojiri is the ornament at the closed-end of the scabbard. Technically it is the butt-cap of the scabbard. Ko- means small while jiri- implies tip.
Koiguchi is the opened-end of the scabbard where the sword is sheathed and unsheathed from.
So there you have it, a short marathon on the Japanese Katana terminology. All the above are just some of the basics introduced to the general audience. There’s still a lot more terms that we haven’t touched on such as the Nakago (sword tangs), Nakago-jiri (tang tip), various blade shapes, etc. So keep posted for future updates on some of these advanced terms.

Force Unleashed 2 Preorder Bonus Features "Maulkiller"
For pure fan service, it's hard to top the GameStop preorder bonus for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II . The "Maulkiller" skin combines Darth Maul and the lead character Starkiller. The so-called story behind the skin involves cloning gone horribly wrong and eventual insanity, but none of that is likely to show up in the game itself for obvious reasons. The bonus also includes a silver ...
