Does anyone else feel that the next Star Trek will be the last with the current cast. 

I get a sense some of the actors may want to move on.

*crosses finger that this'll happen and lead to a reboot, a reboot that won't be Trek in name only this time around*

 But the cast is good.

 Really? I like Karl Urban (or what's his name) as McCoy, and Simon Pegg as Scotty, but the rest are IMHO horribly, HORRIBLY misscast.

 Really.

I read all three storyarcs of the Dawn of the Jedi series today.

To quote Mr. Burns: "I know what I hate. And I don't hate this."

Right up front, I'm gonna say that I don't like the majority of John Ostrander's Star Wars work; I don't like his characters, I don't like his adoration and use of prequelisms, and I especially do not like the Legacy series -- the worst thing to ever happen to the EU since the PT.

Now, that aside, I think he did a good job with this series; there were next to no prequelisms to be found, and at least a few of the villains had a modicrum of depth to them this time around.

Of course, there were still things I disliked. I didn't like that the proto-Jedi were called "Jed'aii" -- the precursors of the Jedi should have a completely different name from their successors, not merely an alternate spelling of the same name -- and I quickly grew sick and tired of the forcesabers; it wouldn't have been so bad if the weapons had been limited to Xesh and the other Force Hound characters, but everyone from the "Jed'aii" to the Rakata soon started swinging them around and the whole scenario became an excuse to shoehorn glowing energy swords into a timeframe where they shouldn't exist.

In the end, though, I liked this series enough to accept it as deuterocanonical within my own SW Universe. That's all that really matters, right? ;-)

I found a video on my phone this morning of me and my friends running circles around my house, it was took last night, I don't remember it.  All well and good, shit happens right?  The problem is, the camera moves so it's not just sat down somewhere and everybody that was at my house last night is in the video.  What really happened last night?  That's a question I don't want to answer.

I love the prequels because they’re wonderfully made, have gorgeous imagery and sound, great storyline and fascinating characters, deep and complicated. The prequels offer a widest range of feelings and thoughts to the viewer, make you cry and laugh from joy, open your eyes to things you could never imagine without them.

The prequels enrich the saga and the whole cinematography with new situations, possibilities, choices, new levels of wisdom that unites different lands and times, new multiple colors to the kaleidoscopic variety of life that is reflected in the saga, the variety that reaches harmony in the saga taken as a whole.

I love the prequels because they’re a part of the saga that changed my life for the better, that makes me feel like I have wings. The saga that would be lacking something essential without any of its episodes.

I have no words.

These two should suffice:
