I don't know but SW right now has a vibracy i've never seen before. It's the fan activities. While the corporate SW side of things is catering towards a wide audience to gather cash, that's what they do, the fans are actively setting up a fan distributed tv network, in a sense, here at the OT.com. There are fan films which are often very exciting and move into topics and ideas which LFL will not touch. LFL will hopefully eventually see what's been done here and set up an in-demand tv channel of somekind, at which point the fan community will move onto something else. It's speculation but those Lucas family toys, i would guess weren't Lucas's idea. Sure he authorized them, but that package sounds like a marketing idea. Lucas has usually kept his family life out of the public eye. There are glimpses of some ingenuity in the SW universe coming from the corporate side, some of the figures have been spectacular, finding them is unfortunately very time consuming. There we're some interseting comics, but they've just about burned out their talent base. SW will lull for a year or two until the tv shows, but that's find, you can't have the amount of material produced this year happen every year. Very few can take that much stuff.

On the Trek side of things... http://www.hollywood.com/news/detail/id/3472202
"‘Star Trek’ Captains to Team Up?
The trio will reportedly star in the unnamed film that will be set in the 'mirror universe,' which was featured in both the Next Generation and Enterprise TV series.
An insider tells movie gossip website CanMag.com, "Apparently Shatner was in talks to do a guest role on Enterprise, but it didn't work out. The ideas for the episode will now be incorporated into a movie."

...for me ST should remain dead... alternative realities are a sign of no ideas. My Three Captains sounds horrendous.
