Now one really must wonder how original Star Wars was after reading these books.

Vader is Lukes father, and now..... Froto (sp) or is it Fruito????

Ok, then the Elf hotty must be his sister then while the Kings great grandson, to the 10th power, must be Han Solo.... (Wheres the Falcon?)

If that is the case, then Ben Obi Won (one?) bought the farm in the first film. How many arrows did it take?????

So who's the Emperor??? Gandolph? (Sp)

And regarding Nemisis, I can post a spoiler for you, but I think its best that you see the movie. It is no Insurrection. (Made too look full of battles and stuff only to be nothing more than a feel good flick)

The Marina rule does apply here.

What kind of spoiler is it? A special person in the show, something special happening on the ship? If so I might know what you're talking about. If not then don't tell me.

They sure don't build 'em like they used to. Back in Scotty's day, they'd take horrendous amounts of damage while saving the galaxy, and still be salvagable...

Now, they seem to be going through starships like dirty diapers.

There's another action movie coming out in December, I think, that looks big on the imagery, gratuitous explosions, violence and mayhem. My kind of movie.
I liked the Harry Potter books as well; I usually alternate between "light" sci-fi/fantasy and "serious" sci-fi/fantasy. Too many serious things in a row depresses me...

As for the "other" action movie coming out, you're probably thinking of "Equilibrium" (which opens today, I think...)

Just ask Marina Sirtis She can not talk about any movie prior to its release or she does not get paid. She kinda can't keep a secret. Neither can I.

Most book stores should already have the novel adaptation of the movie out. What I know I have read from the book store.

I doubt I will see the movie when it opens, more than likely wait a few weeks and catch it on an afternoon showing. I can't see paying 8.75 for this movie.

Movie novelizations don't always match what appears onscreen.

I can't see paying that either. But I can see paying 4 bucks. One of the perks of living in a town of only 10K people.

Thanks Director. I was going to edit my original message, but now what's the point?

Yes, it's Equilibrium. This movie looks like it can go somewhere. Will it be somewhere that I can enjoy for two hours? I certainly hope so!!

of course, I'm the guy who thought Wing Commander had potential to be a great movie, and could have been worse. I have friends (of sorts) who can attest to that.

Yes, I agree. It's usually not as bad as the other way around, though. If the book came first and then the movie was made based on the book, sometimes the discrepancies are huge. Many movies tend to remove a lot of detail and events that are in the book, so that it fits into a 2-hour show. But sometimes, the story is changed drastically for the movie. I remember reading Agatha Christie's mystery, "And Then There Were None", and then seeing the movie. They completely changed the surprise ending and ruined the story.
