Sorry… Slight weapons malfunction


Wisdom of the Jedi (and our News of the Jedi service) have been offline for a little while. But now, uh, everything’s under control. Situation normal.

Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh… everything’s perfectly all right now. We’re fine. We’re all fine here now, thank you.

How are you?

We apologize for any inconvenience and hope to be here for you for a long time to come. Thank you for visiting WisdomoftheJedi.com!
