Sure, Tony, I'm happy to be a part of whatever crazy idea you might have.

I saw the trailer for Star Wars III last night and am very confused. Is this supposed to be the last movie in the new trilogy that comes before the first movie of the last trilogy? I gave up keeping track after seeing the first of the newer Star Wars flicks. It seemed to me that George Lucas had lost himself in a world of technology and forgot what made the movies so good in the '70s: great characters that you cared about, a sense of humor, and an easy-to-follow story. The new trailer is all over the place, mixing the new visuals with old, as if trying to please today's youth along with aging, cranky pop culture nerds like me, who think George Lucas should have been put out to pasture a couple of decades ago.

How did the gig go without me? Sigh. Can I still post here after I a have officially been replaced by my robot drone?
