It’s that time of year again – when all us Westaholics join together to make a special birthday video for Shane.  The deadline for submissions is Sunday 5th June – anything submitted after that I can’t ensure will be added as I will begin editing the video the next day.  Submissions can be sent as early as today – the earlier the better!

All you have to do is create a simple art/take a picture with a short message wishing Shane a happy birthday and email it to webmaster.shanewestonline[@]gmail.com (just remove the brackets) and if you use a subject heading to let me know it’s for the birthday project so it doesn’t get missed out and even send me a tweet to let me know it’s sent I will reply to everyone once it is received so if you don’t get a reply let me know and I can check if it came through.

For ideas check out the last two years videos and don’t worry if you aren’t great at art – you can use apps on your phone or this site, PicMonkey for creating collages online would be very good as it offers a lot of tools for those who don’t have Photoshop.

So basically all you need to take part is:

A short birthday message – it is going into a video so it should be short and sweet! (I will be adding them all to an album later in the gallery too)

Your name – just your first.  And if you wish to, your twitter/social media handle as well.

Email to webmaster.shanewestonline[@]gmail.com (just remove the brackets) and send me a tweet too on @ShaneWestOnline and I can confirm if I have received it.

Have you seen the most recent poster for HERE ALONE?

There were rumors recently that Tom Hardy has a part in Star Wars: Episode VIII. We can confirm the authenticity of those rumors as they are in fact true. We were able to confirm the general contents of his sequence with a few of our sources as of late and piece the cameo together. So yes, Tom Hardy does have a small sequence in Star Wars: Episode VIII. Read on for the contents of the sequence. Please do not share these spoilers openly on social media or spoil anyone that doesn’t wish to be spoiled.

After investigating the scenario we have ascertained something like this goes down:

Tom Hardy plays a First Order Stormtrooper.

Said Stormtrooper glimpses FN-2187 on a secret mission but doesn’t realize it.

The “incognito” FN-2187 is surprised when the Stormtrooper walks up behind him and slaps him on the ass.

FN-2187 turns around and believes he’s dead. He’s surely going to be captured.

The Stormtrooper is elated to see his old friend from back during their First Order academy days.

The Stormtrooper congratulates FN-2187 on his promotion to Resistance infiltrator and spy.

FN-2187 is free to go about his business to his amazement.

Basically Finn is on a mission, a Stormtrooper recognizes him from training and then lets him go in a comedic misunderstanding. What is interesting about it is it reveals that most of the Stormtroopers that knew FN-2187 defected and became a Resistance Solider perished with the battle of the Starkiller in The Force Awakens. I speculate fearing descent amongst the troops, Supreme Leader Snoke and his Generals Kylo Ren and Hux felt it would be unwise to inform the rest of the First Order exactly what happened to one of their own. It probably doesn’t help that FN-2187 also put Captain Phasma in the trash compactor. It seems better to keep that on the down low.

The spirit of the cameo was very much in the same realm as the Daniel Craig cameo in The Force Awakens. We aren’t entirely sure if Hardy removes his helmet, but our bet is he does not.
