I brought a vintage lightsaber (just the handle, not the blade) and the Star Wars Quiz Wiz to the 12:01AM TPM showing I attended.

Its not 'public' yet, but I've been constructing a custom lightsaber for the 12:01AM RotS I'll be at in about 15 days, 9 hours and 15 minutes.

That's not JUST a cheeseburger.

THAT is the Hardees Monster Thickburger.

two 1/3-pound slabs of Angus beef
four strips of bacon
three slices of American cheese
some mayonnaise

all on a buttered, toasted, sesame seed bun.

Cost: $5.49, sandwich only

Other:
1420 calories
107 grams of fat

And I survived one of them.

How does it take Nineteen years to build the first Death Star, but 4 years to build the second one, which was bigger and more powerful.

Its just Lucas screwing up the EU, that's all. I'll bet its not even being built over Despayre now.

Sessler does have the most plausible explanation though.

Considering that JEJ was brought in to do the Darth Vader lines in EP3, that is absolutely rediculous.

I watched some of Earth: Final Conflict in Sci-Fi channel repeats. It wasn't too bad, but there are other shows I would have rather watched.

That's kinda how I feel about other Sci-Fi shows that have been on TV lately, like Earth 2, Seven Days and Andromeda.

Most of them are too young to even remember Apollo from Battlestar Galactica. Sad.

Depends on which Apollo. You'll still here the 'name' used on the new series.

Sci-Fi channel runs daily marathons of shows from 8-4 every day...Battlestar Galactica (original) was on yesterday.

Since you bring up a TV show though, how about some underrated TV shows?
How about Sci-Fi channel originals First Wave and The Invisible Man?

I didn't even notice the URL for this article. I read the article seperate from finding it here. GL also confirmed the TV show stuff. In fact, I'm most suprised by him saying there are 2 shows planned.

That's kinda cool. I should take my daughter on that before it changes.

IS NOTHING SACRED!!

Its been 15 years since I went on that ride, but as I remember, you get shot at by TIE Fighters. Maybe he'll make the Star Tours ship shoot first.

Like Ric, I'm no specialist...in fact I'm probably the last person you'd want to hear from. Try being a 24 year old SW geek who's never had a girlfriend and is still living in his parent's attic.
However, strange as it may seem, I was and still am in a similar situation. Girl I knew since 8th grade. I could never bring myself to say anything. Graduation came, and I didn't say anything. Saw her a couple times in college...still couldn't bring myself to do anything.
To this day, I still think about what I want to tell her, but I still don't know if I can break my silence. I wish to badly that I could see her before the 10 year reunion for HS graduation, assuming there even is one, but at the rate I'm going, I don't see that happening.

Best Case Scenario: She does like you, and you need to just say something, no matter how awkward it may come out. If it helps, mentally rehearse it. Have everything you're going to say worked out long before you pick the moment to say anything.
If you know of some common ground where you can start your conversation at, that may also help you feel more comfortable.

Worst Case Scenario: She feels sorry for you (for some reason) and she's only being nice because of it. There's practically no chance of this, but one never knows.

...If Enterprise had shown that Mirror Universe episode a few weeks earlier, I'll bet the show wouldn't have been cancelled.
For one thing, it had an all new opening that was much better than the original.

I don't know how well it was received when it came out. I enjoy the movie myself, though don't watch the DVD version...its so easy to see the 'anti-grav' wires in the beginning.

I consider ST3 to be the best of the odd-numbered. I think the reason it was as good as it was is because it carried the storyline from ST2 and was cotinued by ST4.

If I had to rate the Star Trek movies, they'd be in this order:
2, First Contact, 4, 3, 6, Generations, Insurrection, Nemesis, 1

As for my own thoughts on the subject:
- You have to give some points to Stargate. The movie was kind of predictable, but look at the show that it spawned.

- Its kind of a kiddie Sci-Fi, but I enjoyed Flight of the Navigator enough to buy it on DVD.

Unfortunately, I cannot remember the titles...wait, I got one.

The third is about space war.

True, but not everyone has the time or patience to do something like that.
Besides, I don't know if I could bring myself to deface a Star Wars toy by doing that. I killed my fair share of Star Wars toys, but only when I was really young.
(I had one of the original AT-AT model kits that my parents put together for me...All that is left is half of a Snowspeeder sitting somewhere in out basement. I wanted to play with it and it didn't last very long.)

I wish to retract my previous statement.
I just bought my ticket via fandango.com while sitting here at work. I just need to take my credit card to the theater to get the actual ticket for 12:01AM.

2 out of 3 movies at 12:01AM, not bad.

Tomorrow I plan to find a theater having a 12:01 playing, and get tickets to it.
