My "Star Wars" Quotes:
''Well slap me in a robe and call me Anakin! I'm selfish!''
 * ZEM, "Real Life", in jest

Come unto the Light, we have the good stuff!
 * ZEM, "Real Life", dead serious

I am a whirlwind in the Force!
 * ZEM, "Real Life", do you think I'm kidding?

Jango bells, Jango bells, Jango all the way, oh what fun it is to ride Slave One across the galax-a, hey!
 * ZEM, "Real Life", in a festive mood...

Throw me a lightwhip and call me Jax Pavan!
 * ZEM, "Real Life" twirling a belt like a whip...

The Films
The films are the greatest part of the Star Wars Universe. It is truly admirable that George Lucas had a dream and pursued it until it became reality. I understand a lot of what went into the making of the movies and the story behind the story, from reading a lot of the making-of books and Lucas interviews; wanting to get into the film business myself, I find all of those very interesting.

Between the two trilogies there are a lot of differences, but I like them both. The classics are shining examples of the pioneering of modern technology while the prequels are marvelous exhibitions of the same, more fully-developed technology.

The Expanded Universe
There are numerous forms of EU material, more or less similar to George Lucas' wonderful films, as I'm sure almost anyone reading this knows. I think that the novels and other material are all more or less interesting as science fiction, but some are in too much conflict with George Lucas' original dream. The Sith last too long and reappear too many times, for one thing, and the impact of Anakin Skywalker bringing balance to the Force is minimalized.

The Cartoons
Out of the cartoon series created of the Star Wars Universe, I've only watched some of the original Clone Wars series and have been following the new 2008 The Clone Wars series.

I prefer the new series of the old series mainly because I like the new style of animation, but also because there seems to be better continuity with George Lucas' films. I also like the character Ahsoka Tano.
