All I need to know in life I learned from Star Wars

I wish it were true, but although I love the movies I am not so die hard a fan that I know all the ships and pilots by name. I can't look at the latest Lego kit and know that the planet represented is Endor not Tatoine. I don't remember which episode the Vadar cut off Luke's hand in. 

But despite all of this I still enjoy the game X-Wing put out by Fantasy Flight. I play Rebel: typically with Luke right in the middle of everything with R2 to keep him alive. And now the new wave has hit, I bought the ships and have barely taken them out of the package.

Our favorite game shop, Dice Bag, got us hooked on it and when we heard about their grand re-opening X-Wing tournament we made arrangements. I didn't actually play in the tournament, I had been away at work and decided to spend some time with my kids but we all drove down so my hubby could play. 

It was interesting to see the various builds people were using and shocking to hear someone say they had striped and painted theirs so they would be more acurate to the movies. I personally like them the way they come. Here are a few pictures from the day: one of the store owners had just got back from GenCon and had the new ships for us to see as well.

If you haven't tried it you should.
