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?

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>

[Stephen]

<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>

[Stephen]

<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>

[Zeus]

<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.

[Stephen]

<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: 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>

[Zeus]

<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>
