Come on guys. How many variations?\nOn Boy meets girl /7 guys saving the town / 1 cop cleaning up NY are we supposed to take? And how about something new in Sci Fi. Star wars was written under other names in the

I see what you are saying. All writers lazily just modify stuff that's been around for centuries

I've gotta suggest Kirk's (or Picard's) adventures as a young man. What were these guys like before they became captains? How about a look at their time in Starfleet Academy?\n\nFailing that, how about a show that takes place at the Academy?\n\nOh man, now I'm broadcasting dork waves all over the internet. Damn it.

Read one, they're all the same. In every series the brother/ sister fall in love. It's a common theme. I read all of them. I mean ALL of them. I was in love with V.C. Andrews. But the real V.C. died after she wrote "My sweet Audrina" (which was the last really good one, and not part of a series). So she has a ghost writer now, his name is Andrew Neiderman. And he writes under his own name as well, but they are mystery/suspense style novels. When I met him 10 years ago at his son's micro brewery in Palm Springs California (I babysat his son's children), I found him to be an angry old man, pissed because the stories he ghost writes do better than the ones he publishes under his own name. He didn't even know the character's names in the V.C. books. He doesn't care about those books, he writes them for the money. And he writes them badly. Read the flowers in the attic series, and my sweet audrina, and that's all you'll need to read. After that it all gets really repetitive.

I read that the movie is back on.  The guy who created the show is working on the movie now.  Apparently when there was talk of a movie before, Kim Catrall was not on board.  That is why the idea was put on the back burner.  According to In Touch all the characters are on board and the story is supposed to be focused on Carrie's wedding in which she will be marrying Mr. Big.  Also, all of the characters are spread all over the country.  Miranda is the only one living in New York.

OK, here's the deal with the numbering on the side.\n\n"Original Star Wars Trilogy" (the ones with Harrison Ford, etc.) are Episodes 4, 5, 6.  The Roman numerals on the sides of the cases are the Episode numbers.  Example: V is "The Empire Strikes Back"  Currently, the original three (the last three episodes) are available separately or in box set form.\n\nEpisodes 1, 2, 3 are the ones that were just in theatres (Episode III: Revenge of the Sith was in theatres in Summer 2005).\n\nIf you were planning to buy the films for your friend, I would suggest getting all six in Widescreen format (it'll be marked on the cases).  For the "original" three films (IV-VI), get the new limited edition 2-disc editions.  They have the theatrical and special editions (he'll understand the difference).\n\nHere are links from DVD Empire for image references (get them at Wal-Mart for cheaper):\n\nEpisode I: The Phantom Menace:\nhttp://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_item.asp?userid=99365102387650&item_id=32679&searchID=41171\n\nEpisode II: Attack of the Clones:\nhttp://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_item.asp?userid=99365102387650&item_id=447548&searchID=41171\n\nEpisode III: Revenge of the Sith:\nhttp://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_item.asp?userid=99365102387650&item_id=739368&searchID=41171\n\nEpisode IV: A New Hope:\nhttp://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_item.asp?userid=99365102387650&item_id=1122840&searchID=41171\n\nEpisode V: The Empire Strikes Back:\nhttp://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_item.asp?userid=99365102387650&item_id=1122842&searchID=41171\n\nEpisode VI: Return of the Jedi:\nhttp://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_item.asp?userid=99365102387650&item_id=1122844&searchID=41171\n\n\nHowever, here's the thing...if he's a Star Wars fan, chances are very good that he already owns these discs, so you may have to go for something else.  If he's into collectibles, there's an entire wealth of products out there.\n\n\nUPDATE (ANSWERING YOUR FOLLOW-UP QUESTION):\n\n"Knights of the Old Republic" is not a DVD.  It's a video game for the X-Box and/or PC.  "Clone Wars Volume One" and "Clone Wars Volume Two" are the only complete TV series DVDs available at this time (new TV series are currently in development).

Well, I'm one of those SW Freaks, but not everyone loves it. Most other think \n1.) Lot of cool Sci-Fi futuristic action\n2.) Who doesn't love lightsabers? \n3.) Most women/girls like it because they think Anakin is cute or part of the romance... puh-leeze, he's better looking with his Darth Vader suit.\n4.) The creatures and characters look awesome!\n5.) One of the greatest graphic and setting designs ever, that George Lucas put so much effort on.\n5.) Plus, it's been around for awhile, everyone has gotta catch on.\nIt's the whole enchilada!\nI like SW for most of the reasons above, but I mostly love it for one of its hidden messages: You have to learn to let go of your loved ones, you must learn to understand that you should move on, and you shan't dwell too long on something from the past, they'll never come back, no matter how much you love them. Sure it sounds a little corny the way I explained it, but it's only true.

Because of the nerds. :P Nah, it's just a very imaginative genre, people like to imagine how the world would be if we lived among strange creatures, and you can go far with the characters, setting etc. Especially if it is in the future, people like to imagine what it would be like. Stars Wars also made the genre very popular, and effects in Science Fiction are often stunning.

What Sci-Fi future do you want/expect?  When I was in Jr. High I watched “The Day After”, the next year was 1984.  So far we have not blown each other up but the government doses expect us to believe 2+2=5.  I am not sure which is worse.  With regard to flying cars and vacations on the moon, Moller, Scaled Composites and others are getting us closer.  However, williegod, it is still far out of reach for the average person, and will be for some time to come.  As I think “Me” was trying to say, Sci-Fi is often a leader of technical, social and ecconomic  advancement as well as a profit of them.  Huxley had flying cars in the 30’s when Sikorsky was still just playing around.  You cannot say which comes first.  If one person has an Idea, someone else will use it in a story while still another will try to make it real.

Good woman's book, if you can't get your head around the fact that men & women are different.\n"Men are from Mars, women from Venus." Same stuff.\nBurn your bra & get on with life. We only pass this way once... Enjoy it!!

I never have been able to figure out the prequel thing. I guess it just goes along with the lack of imagination running rampant in the entertainment business. I think when they have a movie that is a hit they just say "Hey let's make some more money." Since the ending doesn't leave room for a sequel, lets try a prequel.

Not all Jedi are created equal; why does one samurai wipe out three samurai, or why does one soldier take out an entire machine gun nest on his own? Luck and initiative have something to do with it. Also mindset in training. I imagine the Sith fight dirty, and the Jedi (at least in the era of the Republic) are less likely to resort to such tactics. They are too institutionalized in their thinking by this time in history, and the Sith exploit it. \n\nP.S. Don't listen to the "nerdsayers." I know plenty of folks who can both worry about the fate of many universes and maintain a healthy and vigorous relationship with the opposite sex!

Originally (back in '77) Lucas did say that there would be 9 movies in total but those plans have long been scraped.  Since then he has repeated said that there would only be 6 movies.\n\nBut fear not!  There is still plenty more to the Star Wars Universe.  I would personally avoid the books (the ones that take place after Return of the Jedi) as they were created before the prequels and a lot of stuff in them no longer makes sense.  Your best bet if you want more SW is to read the books that take place around the prequels and to play the video games (the 'Knights of the Old Republic' games are EXCELLENT!)\n\nAs for my fav character I have two.  Han Solo is one of the two.  Han I really like in 'A New Hope' and in 'Empire' but by the time 'Jedi' comes around I find him to start becoming really goody-goody which I dislike, I liked him better as a scoundrel.   My other fav is Obi-Wan Kenobi.  Unlike most of his fans I first liked him in 'A New Hope' but he really wasn't around long enough to get to know his character very well.  One of the reasons why I love the prequels so much was FINALLY I got to see more of the Obi-Wan character.
