Are you just mad about the lack of writing ability in the recent Star Wars movies, or Lucas's supposed digs at Bush? I saw the movie yesterday and honestly, it wasn't there. Not to any half-witted student of history who sees the stories more related to the fall of the Roman Republic than anything else.

Movie was much better than the previous two, and the first five minutes had the most gorgeous space battle. They almost managed not to have up-down orientation.

just out and out mad at Lucas' lack of common sense when it comes to producing a consistent story. As an 'original' fan, I am all too aware of how he has decided to thumb his nose at the lot of us who actually appreciated what he did in SW and ESB. I personally never thought the script for SW:ANH was all that bad, but I also tend to think it was the talent of the actors he hired that made the whole thing what it was, and I always feel that a really good actor will make whatever lousy line he is given sound genuine if his talent and skill are up to par. But Lucas decided we fans needed to be taught a lesson.

As for the political stuff, the way my brain and feelings have been going lately, Id be happy to forsake looking for political boogeymen in everything I see. It has worn me out for the time being. I am sure later on there will be something that will get my political juices going, but for now, I am trying to regain my Writer's Muse. So whatever political stuff is in the last SW...meh!...big deal. He writes like a fifth grader with a crush and shows off like a teenage boy with a new car. Boring.

How are you and Rosie doing? Hope all is well your way!
