assistant: "Re: Prequels", declared Brion Lienhart from the Vogon ship:
Check out the Star Warped CD-ROM from Parroty Interactive.  It's not
great, but it does have a couple of gems, like this scene from Quentin
Tarantino's Star Wars:
*** WARNING: The following may offend ***
            This space intentionally left blank.
(Starring Samuel L. Jackson as Han and John Travolta as Luke.  Artoo &
Threepio are themselves, as far as I can tell without having seen the
movie:)
Han: Hey Kid? Where'd you dig up George Burns?
Luke: Ben is a (bleep)in' stand-up guy.
Han: Then why did he take off like he was late for his mama's home
cookin' as soon as we got sucked into this <bleep> hole?
Luke: Hey, John Madden, I didn't hear you come up with a better game
plan.
<Artoo beeps excitedly>
Luke: Hey Threepio, what's up with the little pony-keg?  Why's he goin'
ape-<bleep>?  Is he in a hurry to get back to Elroy Jetson?
Threepio: I have no <bleep>ing idea, sir! The little <bleep>er keeps
saying, "Sweet <bleep>, I've found her!" and "She's <bleep>ing here!"
Luke: Well, <bleep>in' who? Who the <bleep> has he found?
Threepio: Princess Leia, you <bleep>!
Luke: You gotta be <bleep>in' me!  The princess is here?
Han: Princess? What <bleep>ing princess?
It continues.  It's probably funnier when you can hear the voices.  Luke
and Vader on the catwalk at Cloud City is even better, but wouldn't
transcribe well at all.
There's also Jerry Seinfeld's Star Wars, Spike Lee's Star Wars, and
Woody Allen's Star Wars.  And a fun game called Whack the Ewok, which
features a voice over by Darth Vader saying stuff like, "Quickly, before
he sings!"

assistant: *<David took on the Empire on 08-22-97  15:18,>*
*<While Tony talks about Star Wars: The TV Ser!>*
Yeah, you're probably right. I was having my doubts about it. But, it was
just something I was thinking about anyway. Or just bring it out as a
animated series, or is that another idea that is not-so-good. Cause I did
like the Droids cartoon that Lucasfilm did in 84 to 85. The only problem
with them was the poor quality of work done by the artists, but other than
that, it was good.
Wait a minute, now that I see what meant, I didn't mean it to be turned
into the show you mentioned. Look at the part of my message you quoted
(last line). I didn't want a single storyline to be finished in one ep (or
two eps), like the show you mentioned, and have that feel of the story of
the week. I basically meant to have a single storyline either be stretched
over a few eps or maybe the whole season of the show, not to have a bunch of
storylines revolve around a particular set goal of the series. What I
wanted was just the storyline revolve around set goal of the season or
something, and then change the set goal of the next storyline of the next
season or so, but let some of the plots tie together (like a failed
mission, and he might be albe to accomplish that mission in another
season). I don't know how the series would end, but that would come up if it
ever happens. But all in all, its basically the Rebels against the Empire.
Just how it always was. But, I still have my doubts about this. It's just
an idea.
OK, if you reply to this about not being clear. I'll clear it up next time.
That's all from me!!!

 Amazing co-incedence that this subject pops up a day after I learn
 about Chi through Mystic China, a Palladium RPG.  That's how it was
 explained to me, too, Chi is the same as the Force.
 BTW, In the game I was a Reformed Demon who strives to become human
 and can instantly transform into pure negative chi, in which case
 the only thing that can hurt me is positive chi.  <G>
 Of course, that's a role-playing game, so the value of any
 information you might learn from it is questionable.

Haven't read X-Wing: Rogue Squadron, yet. I plan to once I get through all
these books I got, when I was in the Science Fiction Book Club a while
back. But, seeing a TV series with any part of the Star Wars universe would
be good, if done well.
Well, I'm not sure if anyone would like the Doctor Who type format (though,
that's was I prefer) in the States. Some people can go with it and then
others just want to see the thing over with in one ep. It's all about tastes,
I guess. But, if written and done well, the Doctor Who format would
probably work. Here's how I see it. My example:
