<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Dead Like Me is gone, not picked up for another season. Also, Kevin Smith is heavily rumoured to be working on a Star Wars TV series, with Hamill coming back as Skywalker on a "pop up here and there" basis. Any thoughts on either?</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Lucas already ruined Star Wars, why not let someone else take a crack at it?</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>blah blah blah</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>I won't believe in that rumor until I see it. Even if Kevin Smith has had his fingers into comic book movies, I still won't believe it.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>My sentiments exactly</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Look, I've rewatched Episodes I & II, and they're thiiiis close to being freaking cartoons. Lucas already screwed it up as far as I'm concerned. If he wants to let another director have a got at, then let's go nuts.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>History will not care less what the masses think of the new Star Wars films (and I'd hazard a guess that most find the original three films superior). If you'd like to make a wager as to which trilogy garners the greatest critical acclaim ten years from now, I'm more than willing.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Lump Return of the Jedi and its miserable ewoks in with the newer films. The majesty of the Star Wars phenomena will always be rooted in the first two movies.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Yes yes we know, would you like to beat the dead horse any further? It's unborn children are gonna be feeling the hits.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>If you don't want to talk about it, then why bother replying to me?</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Cause the horse has been killed, hung, shot, and stabbed, poisoned, run over by a car, and blown up with a nuklear weapon. Yet you felt the need to graze it again, that's why I chimed in. Give it a rest.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Zeus asked for thoughts on the matter. That was mine.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>While RotJ was slightly lower than the first two OT films, I don't agree with this retoactive all out bashing it's getting these days. I've seen it again on the DVDs and it's actually really good, Ewok marketing aside. It shouldn't be lumped with the new films, IMO.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>Well Zeus *did* ask everyone for their opinion...</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>The beginning of RotJ nullifies any Ewoks that were in there. I would argue that it was the best of the 3.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Heh...lumped in with poor Dead Like Me.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>The beginning is pretty good, but the last act is basically a dissipated rehash of the first movie with some extra stuff that doesn't add much. I understand why Harrison wanted Lucas to kill off Solo, because he (Solo) isn't given anything new to do.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>On the cancellation of Dead Like Me and the possibility of a Star Wars TV series, not on the merits of the new trilogy vs the old one</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I didn't care for Dead Like Me. A hardy-har premise (the dead experience existential angst just like we do) and quirky, neurotic characters only take you so far.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah, that's what I thought. They were fun for the first year, but did the same thing for the second, then jumped the shark at about ep 8, so I didn't care</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>And my thoughts on a new Star Wars tv series are linked to my perception of the new trilogy. If I liked the new trilogy, I wouldn't want to see a tv show. Or should I just read "Any thoughts on either?" to mean "Any thoughts on either that I'll agree with?"</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>You mentioned Kevin Smith directing a new series and ask "any thoughts on this?", possibly the most open ended question ever invented and then you complain when someone gives an opinion on him directing the series. Did I miss something?</div>

Did I miss something? Someone help me out here...</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>The last act had a lot going for it including: 1) best space battle in movie history (no other film has come close) and 2) the Vader realizing Luke has a sister moment. Those two things soothe the wounds the Ewoks inflicted on us and the new movies don't have anything anywhere approaching this...</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>See, I prefer the uninterrupted flow and the editing of the final Death Star sequence in the original, whereas Jedi abandons the "less is more" ethos and tries to juggle three separate story threads. Didn't work for me.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>I don't like the interacting storyline thing either. But that said, the space battle was badass and the Luke/Vader storyline was compelling...</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>What the hell are you talking about? All I said was "they cancelled Dead Like Me and there might be a SW TV series. Does anyone have any thoughts on either of these?". Then, you talked about the old vs new trilogy and I said "I simply asked about the other stuff". Now somehow I'm a bad guy?</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I just wanted to direct the conversation back to the cancellation of Dead Like Me and the new SW TV series rather than go through a huge discussion about the new vs old trilogy, that's all</div>

<div style='font: 10pt georgia; text-align: left; '>I actually really liked Dead Like Me. :(</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I liked the first season, but it got stale in the second and jumped the shark about 7 eps into the second (re: guy in bar with Daisy). It just never recovered</div>
