An Ohio middle school Star Wars club got a little press from the Canfield Neighbors...
"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
Actually, the date was Jan. 14 and the location was teacher David Izzo?s technology room, where 20 middle school students gathered for the January meeting of Star Wars Club.
The club, started last December by middle school students Tyler Stratton and Jacob Tomory, gathers 20 to 40 members every other week to take part in a role-playing Star Wars game. Every person plays a character who gains a story and skills as the game progresses."
Sci-fi writer John Scalzi examines which characters he feels got better as the Star Wars saga progresses, as well as which caracters got worse.
