I'd like to get more upset about all of this but as I'm not a major Star Wars fan I actually really don't care. It's not like it's Star Trek, which was actually about something philosophically deep (humans finally rising above our worst behaviours and attitudes) and morally important behind all the action. Even as far back as Empire Strikes Back, Harrison Ford said it was all about selling toys and other merch. The more I watched Star Wars the less I began to like it, thanks to it's ham-fisted moralizing, it's over-reliance on SFX and CGI to gloss over a story that everyone's seen somewhere else a thousand times before, and it's thoroughly one-note cardboard characters. Star Trek had a genuine heart to it but Star Wars was mostly about keeping a cash register endless going ka-ching. Let me know when Star Wars actually serves up something as real and important as this:



JJ Abrams version? Whatever. For all the criticism he gets, and deserves, it can't be any worse than what George Lucas served up the last three times.

True enough. Sadly, I see Abrams' version of Star Trek nothing more than an action movie with a Star Trek paintjob. To me, I'll continue watching DS9.

I quite liked the last Star Trek. I thought they did a great job casting as well. The news is that teh new one is a remake of teh classic Star Trek "The Trouble with Tribbles" with Chris Rock as Jar-Jar Blinx and a cameo by Boohoney or HoneyBooBoo or whatevz.

Is Honey Boo Boo the Tribble with the bomb? I'd see that.
