Club Penguin Thoughts

Beach Backlash

Tensions have been high in the last few months in the Club Penguin Community. After three Disney parties in four months, players have been a bit perturbed. And, while all of these parties have been well-received on the whole, with each new one, the annoyance seems to grow.

And now, after some rumors (which were correct), we know there will be a fourth Disney party - a summer music party to tie-in with the new DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) Teen Beach Movie. Understandably, due to previous events of this nature, the response isn't all positive. You could say this is the boiling point (although some called the Star Wars controversy that).

But, this time, things feel different...

The Celebration Item

The Club Penguin Team was at the official Star Wars celebration in Germany over the weekend. Through their Twitter account, they shared screenshots and info with those (including me :( ) who could not attend. Through this, we found out you could meet, chat with, and take pictures with the Team, enter a game contest for a membership prize, get a free two sided poster, play CP, and get an exclusive free item. What exclusive free item, you ask? Well, Club Penguin didn't tell us. And, since it seemed no one in the Club Penguin Twitter Community was able to attend the event, we couldn't ask a participant.

So, it's a cold case, you say? Well, it could be. But, could a single bread crumb answer our question?

The 2013 Star Wars Dissection (1/3) Pre-Party

There have been plenty of Star Wars references to pick out on Club Penguin from the time the party was announced to before the festivities began. This is where I'll try to sort through them all.

The Canon Conundrum

Ever since the first Marvel Takeover was announced in 2012, I have tried to figure out how other worlds fit into Club Penguin canon. In this post, I will try and figure that out for all previous takeovers and face how Star Wars fits in - which may be the hardest one of them all to explain.
