I'm still hoping Lucas will live long enough to actually finish the next trilogy. After all, anyone who has read the books will want to see Timothy Zahn's books filmed.
I'm personally hoping for the Rogue and Wraith Squadron books to be filmed (fanfilms anyone?!) because they're just so damned good. I love Wraith Squadron most because they're not so much bound to the rules of the Rebels. And Wegdean'tilles just rocks.
Concerning Revenge of the Sith, I loved the movie, even though we were basically lying in front of the screen at the second row, but we did see it on opening night, in costume.
You know you're really too much of a fan when your costumes are applauded...
Come on, honestly. Of course we will be bombed/invaded. Us Dutch have legalized prostitution, the use of pot, gay marriages, and euthanasia. If our prime minister would not suck Dubya's...er... 'boots' we would have been viewed as 'terrorists' long ago.
To get back on topic: I too salute this initiative, only I hope Darenet.nl will get back up from their slashdotting soon. This entire project reminds me of an academic wikipedia - with a higher IQ and threshold. The mere opportunity to read all this as a non-subscriber to branche-magazines can help anyone with half a brain who has an idea and needs to know how far current science is and what is known about a certain topic. Great leaps forward!
When the Dutch parliament passed a vote against software patents (I read about this on/.), I wrote to the person who set the thing in motion: Miss Gerkens of the SP (Socialist Party). She e-mailed me back, with phonenumber and all, thanking me for responding.
My S.O. yesterday wrote to the SP Faction of the European Parliament to help them do the research by giving them links to relevent articles, and asking them to let the others read those articles too. No response there yet.
To get things in motion, one has to participate, not just sit and be motionless oneself. But I doubt those in favour of software patents are likely to give up any time soon.
