For me, I wish I could say that. I hate ST:TMP. I am a fan of the even numbered ST movies. The odd numbered ones were just that... odd.

Call me skeptic, but I seriously doubt that a Star Wars mini-series will EVER happen. As much as we would like to see it.

Wrath of Khan is my favorite of the TOS-cast movies.
First Contact is THE best of the TNG-cast movies.

Star Trek: Generations was the best of the odd number ones.

Anyways, I'd love to see a SW TV show, even if it is just a miniseries. The hard part, though, would be in maintaining integrity. Would Hayden continue as Darth Vader? He's going to take the helmet off every now and then, like in ESB, and to have anyone else under there wouldn't seem quite right.

I agree ST2:WOK was awesome & Generations is prob my second fav of the ST movies

The odd/even numbered theory has been slapped around for ages. I break 'em down as follows:
ST:TMP--greatly improved in the director's edition, but still cursed by the bigger=better mentality
ST2:TWOK--the best ST movie ever. Period.
ST3:TSFS--the best odd-numbered movie, but not as good as any of the even-numbered movies
ST4:TVH--the most populist of the series, and also the funniest. The ST movie to show to your friends who claim to hate ST
ST5:TFF--the WORST ST movie, bar none; Shatner should NEVER be allowed to direct again. EVER!
ST6:TUC--the movie that should have ended the original ST franchise, and for all intents and purposes did. A fine piece of work
ST:G--not bad--for a TV movie; as a feature, it's lacking, but still not as bad as ST5
ST:FC--the best of the NextGen films; Frakes proves his ability as a feature director, which leads to another theory: the 2nd-officer-as-director theory.
ST:I--Frakes falls prey to the odd-numbered curse, but still turns in a passable entry. Better than Generations, but not by much.
ST:N--must confess, haven't seen it.

Now, back on topic. The only way I really see a SW series working is if it's done for one of the premium cable outlets; not because of content, but because of how commercials tend to destroy the rhythm of the SW oeuvre.

Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

I can agree with your theory in its entirety. Even down to not having seen Nemesis.

It can't hurt. At least then you would have fuel in your anti ST tirades. Most people say they hate something without having actually seen it. You will at least be able to say you've seen it.

I've seen at least 3 old ST movies, few parts of both old and Generations TV series, possibly even one Babylon 5 part, but I'm still anti-ST

May the Force make you live long and prosperous
I saw the original theatrical release of the Old Trilogy on the big screen and I'm proud of it...
How did I accomplish that (considering my age) is my secret...

RRS!!!!!!!!!

babylon 5 is NOT ST, nor is it affiliated, nor does it resemble or anything!

ive some movies, and there was even a time when i watched ST: NG the series, and tried to watch DS9, but still, something was missing for me to like it.

Do give it a shot, motti, but start in nice and easy with ST IV; it's probably the most accessible to non-fans.

Yep, as in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home or the Journey Home or whatever the hell it's called. There's a list above here somewhere.

MY TWO CENTS:


THIS COULD BE A COOL SERIES. I'M STILL BETTING ON THE SITH ERA LIVE ACTION SHOW TO BE THE ONE THAT MAKES IT UNTO THE SMALL SCREEN IF EITHER DO MAKE IT THERE. REMEMBER, THIS IS ALL JUST RUMOR AT THIS POINT.
