I do miss some of the hype. Emphasis on some, though. I mean, I didn't stand in line for ages or see any of them opening night. I do remember the trailers and, particularly, that one poster of the young Anakin with the Vader shadow. But, truth be told, I don't really miss them at all. I rarely, if ever, watch the prequels any more (even ROTS); I thought they all kinda stunk. I think Phantom Menace was my favourite if only because I could distance it from what I considered Star Wars, because the only names that rang a bell were Obi Wan and Yoda.

I'm not hyped for the TV show. I sorta have to go with CO on this one in saying that it probably won't happen. I don't care what McCallum says. Pre-production is but the first step, not a sure thing. And really, it's just using the SW name to sell more toys. Good to know I'll never run short of SW action figures to add to my collection.
