Write your reply.

assistant: It's really funny that Dave Nelson seems to rip on movies with false
information.  I doubt he saw any of the movies.  Me, I don't rip on the Star
Trek movies I haven't seen.  I saw one of them and hated it; Seen the series
on tv...bores me to death...When I see Star Wars movies in the
theater...suddenly I'm engrossed..
but my point is, Dave is calling Star Wars unoriginal for having the same
plot twice.  Now obviously he didn't realize this was not done to make a
third movie ,since they had 12 stories to work from already.  It was
obviously done for a reason.  And actually, if one notices, the first movie's
plot isn't really taht much related to the third's.  Unlike other crappy
movies, Star WArs is multifaceted in plot, and there's more than one
conflict.  Much of the plot was Luke completing Jedi training and turning
away from teh Dark Side.

With all due respect (and I agree with you... I don't think much of the

Star Wars movies over and over again?
I like Star Wars... and also Star Trek.  But after you've watched the three
Star Wars movies... what else is there to watch?  At least Star Trek has a
few more episodes to watch in four totally different series...

SIMULATIONS
Wait a minute, Davey Boy.  That arguement is like saying "well, the character
(ship, gun, etc) I made up is a GAJILLION times bigger (more, whatever) than
yours!"  In other words, it don't mean squat.  I suppose that Gino
Dingleberry and his commie cohorts figured that since star trek couldn't
outdraw Star Wars at the box office, or sell as much merchandise, or garner
as many fans... they might as well make star trek seem more impressive by
using such faux science like transporters and replicators, and having
allegedly more powerful weapons.  Besides, Star Wars never claimed to be
science fiction, but science FANTASY. The field  of scientific theory/fact is
a problem for trekkors, not us.
Oh, on a side note, how come it was AFTER Star Wars came out that we learned
just how powerful a phaser is, or the "true" strength of a ship's armanents
and shields?   st:tng seems to be really bad for this, especially after the
Star Wars books by Timothy Zahn came out?
