JS>an interesting note: Ewen MacGregor's uncle played Wedge in the original JS>trilogy! it's a small world..... Hm, seems Lucas is going for more well-known people this time. Hope it works. Honestly though, it doesn't matter who they get, I don't think the new movies will be all they are cracked up to be. I'll also bet that they will not do to well at the box office. Sure, they'll be number one for their week and stuff, but make a lot of money? Probably not. Sure, Star Wars stuff is still "everywhere" but it is apparent it is dying down now.

It's going to be released in the fall sometime, I think september 1st, but you know how these release dates are. They set a date then push it back, then set another date, then push it back again. It will be released all on one CD and it isn't really like any real-time strategy game we've played before. There is more strategy involved in this game than in C&C and Warcraft. You have to build refineries and ship yards on planets around the galaxy and send your fleets to engage the enemy. I think one of the coolest parts of the game is that the rebel base is randomly hidden on a planet at the beginning of the game and it is mobile. So if an imperial attack is imminent, then you can uproot and find a new base of operations... ...

Independance Day: 1 hr. good film, rest > was all filler. big difference. Bull crap. That's the whole reason that Star Wars SSSUUUCCCKKKSSS!!! For crying out loud, they don't even have inertial dampners! When they go to light speed, they would turn into chunky salsa on the wall behind them. A second, Star Wars stories suck because the writers were so uncreative in the third movie that they had to use the same plot as the first movie. Talk about lame. My dear child, you need a serious touch of reality, try UPN on Sunday nights at 7, (Star Trek Voyager) where you can get some quality, scientifcally based, plot. Oh ya' you can also watch a show that actually has a plot. Live Long and Prosper (I don't how long you can prosper though watching Star Wars.)
