I'm sick. Star Wars EP 1 tonight. Friend from college is out here this week and I'll get to see him tomorrow. Weekend is kind of planned out (Go Sounders!).

Oh and we have a refractometer at work which is super exciting! More toys to play with. I had a realization late last week where I started to feel like an engineer.

Did you read this yet? I kind of want to re watch TPM and see how I view the movie with this theory in mind.

I wish it were true. JarJar is easily the worst character of all time. The scenes with him in the Senate are so damn painful. Any scene where he speaks with Qui Gon Jinn are painful too. In fact, it's all very painful. That would be quite the long game for Lucas and he doesn't seem to play the long game. I honestly hope that JJ or somebody remakes the prequels at some point. Just erase them. That would be amazing.

Jar Jar is frozen in carbonite in The Force Unleashed game. Someone at Lucasarts felt our pain.

BrainBurner yes, and I want to believe in all of that so bad, but I agree with TNG on this one. Doesn't seem very Lucas-y.

TNG, have you heard of The Phantom Edit? I think you'd find they make major improvements to the prequels.

I watched episode 1 last week with my daughter. My wife came in 1/2 way through and said, "wow, this really is cheesy and really poorly acted." All I could do is say, "yep." I'm totally down with watching all of them prior to the new one but damn, I can't wait to get to episode 4.
