Speaking of Star Wars, I've seen a few things lately.

1. Star Wars: The Clone Wars
The movie was so-so, but entertaining. The cartoon on Cartoon Network is also pretty good. It can be kiddie at times and you get sick of hearing "I have a bad feeling about this," but I do keep watching it. The one thing I notice is that the guy who voices Anakin is 100 million times better then Hayden Christiansen. He sounds tougher, less whiny, and more in control which is the way Anakin should've been. Though what reminded me on why Star Wars can be stupid is that they had a whole episode on how Jar-Jar Binks needed to save Padme. Hearing that guys voice is like scratching nails across a chalkboard.

2. Star Wars: Legacy
So this is a pretty entertaining graphic novel. It's about another rising of the Sith, years after Return of the Jedi. The main character is Cade Skywalker who is a descendent of Luke. He starts off as a pirate (Han Solo style) who does not embrace his destiny up front. He's a kick ass Jedi, but also has the power to heal people too. I like the artwork and the storyline so far. If anyone is interested in reading any of these, I have the first 3 volumes and I just got the fourth to read as well.

I'm not a huge Star Wars nerd as well, but I find the storylines intriguing and how someone can come up with such a mass universe is beyond my imagination.
