Lucas has said that He would not allow anyone else to take the helm of the third and final trilogy, presumably about the reconstruction of the republic and the New generation of Jedi... Of course, if Lucas continues down this path, he might indeed make the third trilogy...
Starting off with Star Wars Episode Seven: The Search for More Money
Mel Brooks once lampooned Star Wars... Perhaps this is a case of, er, art imitating art imitating art?
And now, a moment for America to shake its head and sob softly to itself...
What the hell is wrong with the "clone wars"? Are the traditional starships we have grown accustomed to now to be replaced with flying saucers? When will George Lucas learn not to make important decisions when drunk?
I didn't say that there would be actual environmental problems, but rather that the primary opposition would be from those who would fear such environmental impact. A really good way to overcome such objections would be to effectively use nuclear thermal rockets in an environment that can't be messed up (i.e. Orbit), show that there is no risk, and adapt them to atmospheric use.
OK, so the main opposition would be to radioactive materials potentially being released into the atmosphere... Well, what about orbit to orbit craft?
When we get to the point of building really big ships in Earth Orbit, nuclear propulsion would be ideal, since there would be no atmosphere to mess up.
Just food for thought...

Interesting article... Food for thought, definitely.
