LOL! I'm still amazed that he likes Star Wars. George Lucas clearly doesn't care for him much. laugh

Well, at least the guy can take a joke tongue

He seemed to really respect the saga though, especially the clear cut lines between good and evil that it shows. Of what little I have seen of his historical fiction novels, he has a similar method of depicting very strong black and white scenarios.

Maybe he idolizes Palpatine, and that's why he still watches Star Wars? tongue

It would have been even funnier if they had gotten some higher-up in the Bush administration to talk about the prequel-era "Triad of Evil" and "Homeworld Security" and all that, but maybe next special. tongue

Did nobody see Star Wars Tech that came on before it? I actually thought that was the better show.

It breaks down the weapons and equipment of Star Wars and shows what is and isn't feasible and why. I like how they were breaking down Darth Vaders suit and lightsabers. I checked the History channel to see when it would re air and it won't be for a couple of weeks. I encourage any fan to check the listings and watch this.

It would be kinda cool if these two shows got their own DVD release, wouldn't it? I suspect we'll have to wait for any Saga Box Set, for them to be included as "extras" But I think it'd be nice to have them as a seperate release - Maybe even later this year. wink

At least we finally got those backward scientists to break down and admit that most of it *is* possible, just not in our lifetimes. \m/

Its not been on in the UK yet, either. Hopefully one day in the near future it'll find its way on to DVD. praying
