Four Rules to Make STAR WARS Great Again
I've loved the original Star Wars movies ever since I saw RotJ as a little kid in the theater. I went to the theatrical re-releases back in the late 90's, and I actually worked for THX briefly at the end of college as a quality-control screening specialist, and got to see Episode I in theater for free the day it was released.

This is AWESOME. Thanks!
Have you read any of the other novels and things like that? I've heard some of them are actually pretty good.
I read a couple of them way back in high school and found them interesting enough at the time. Right now my biggest "concern" would be knowing where to begin, since there's probably hundreds of SW universe novels out there right now.
Yeah, it's a huge section in the bookstore, no doubt about it.
Yeah, I liked this very much.
You had me at "frontier." Obviously :)

I was done with Star Wars after the prequels and special editions. No more for me. I'm not going to sit through another butchering, and since I have so little trust in JJ Abrams to actually tell a coherent story (Lost, Alias, etc.) I will leave it to others to judge his contribution to the saga.
