I long for a Star Wars movie

As i sat on the toilet bowl, straining to be as stealthty as possible, so as not to shock other "visitors " by loud plomping sounds, i was strangely remind of the 20th Century Fox introduction logo scene to their movies.

yay!

You know that intro, that music ... "tah ta da... da da da da da da dah da dahhhhh......." If i was really a good blogger, i'd find that music clip and put a link here for you to listen. But i think you know it by heart already. Who doesnt right?

Whenever i see that intro clip, i always think i'm gonna be watching a Star Wars movie. For a split second, my heart skips in anticipation, but then my brain kicks in and reminds me Star Wars is dead.

*sigh*

Guess the closest i'm gonna get is to read the books. Not that i mind though, i love reading Star Wars books. The best is still Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy. I'm not an expert at reviewing books, but i think Zahn's style is extremely easy to read, and you never feel lost. An ignorant fool who thinks Star Wars is some Nasa breakfast cereal, would enjoy reading his works.

The longer i sat, in total stealth mode, it occurred to me, that the Star Wars universe is largely untapped, from a cinema point of view. Sure, hundreds of books and comics have been written, about stories that were hundreds of years before Vader's time, and stories that were hundreds of years after that time period. But cinema wise, we've only been shown what happens during a particularly short period of time.

Wouldnt it be great if we were to be shown a completely new set of hero's and heroines to worship? For example, we could fast forward into the future, where Han and Leia had married, and had 3 kids:

1. Jaina & Jacen (twins)
2. Anakin (yes, they name the kid after ol'Darthy)

By the way, i aint making this stuff up, its in the Star Wars books. Go read, NOW. Its quite fun.

Speaking of which, i came across a site which is solely dedicated to all things about Princess Leia's metal bikini, which was worn in "Return Of The Jedi". Weird, but strangely arousing. One can even purchase your own bikini set.

girls, if you wanna look sexy AND angry, wear a metal bikini

My favourite Star Wars character? Han Solo.

Well, if they ever do make another Star Wars movie, i hope the actors don't upgrade themselves into over-actors. Just have fun and enjoy the moment. Script writers, please try to be creative and not kill the actors careers with boring lines. Directors, gosh, try not to make the movie so uptight, like it was going to let loose a huge universe splitting Force Fart.

Star Wars is supposed to be fun.
