I finally get the chance to reply to you, Laura!
I know that SMG specifically asked that Buffy not be killed off. I'm guessing it has to do with the idea of her coming back to a series if her movie career tanks. But I want to think they didn't kill her because it would be way too traumatic for us fans. In the little essay I posted above, Buffy did not need to die for the series to end. She just needed to get what she's wanted for the eight years she's been The Slayer. Freedom. And she got it. I couldn't be happier.
As for the specifics of the show, I thought it was awesome. Sure, there were some parts I didn't like (some of the CGI wasn't up to par), the biggest thing was the show was only one hour long. I mean, Dawson's Creek got a two hour finale, for Pete's sake! But all in all, it was extremely funny (the D&D scene and the Faith/Wood scene come to mind), very touching (Spike scarificing himself), and very emotional (the last shot was just priceless). It's all I could have asked for in the Buffy series finale. Except for that being only an hour long, part. All in all, I thought it was one of the best finales I've ever seen. Only fitting for the best television series ever produced.
What did you think?

Hey Catie-
I miss Buffy so much. Thank the Maker that I get my dose of Buffy at 4 pm and 12:30 am on Saturdays. I don't know what to do with my Tuesdays. Smallville seems to be getting interesting but it cannot fill the void on Tuesday nights. *sigh*
How was the Buffy convention thing you went to? I wish my computer had been up at that time. C'est la vie.
I thought the finale needed to be a little longer. How is Callie with the whole Spike sacrafice scene? I wish they didn't kill him off because he kicked butt. I thought the demon fighting scene was so cool. I was thinking how it would be cool to have that ax. I wondered if they had it for auction on ebay since they were had listed items of Sunnydale were for auction. Oh...I almost forgot to mention how Faith still got on my nerves. I was secretly wishing that she would have got killed off.

This is kind of random, but you may have noticed in the new "SW Insider" that the question is asked of Rick McCallum:
"Is James Marsters in the running to play a young Grand Moff Tarkin?"
To which he replies: "Who?" And: "That's ludicrous"
What a putz. I can't believe he doesn't know Spike. Wouldn't that scenario just be soooo cool?

Hmmm. That got me thinking Jason...
If you were to substitute characters from the Buffyverse into the Star Wars universe, who would be whom? Actually, this one could go both ways. If the SW characters were implanted into the Buffy world, who would take whose spot?
Excellent twist!!
By the way, I think James Marsters would make an excellent young Tarkin. He's definitely got the sunken face for it. And we know he can do a British accent.

James as Tarkin?! The more I think about it...the more I like it. C'mon, Rick!! Just LOOK at him! He's perfect. (And did I mention he's HOT?!)

I don't know how that double post up there happened. Sorry about that.
I've been thinking about the roles in both works, and the only solid I seem to come up with is Giles as C-3PO. The prissiness, the "fluent in six million forms of communication" (Giles can read almost any written language there is -- Sumerian, Aramaic, Gaelic, Mandarin, Cantonese, etc...), the always there with pertinent information when needed, not all that good in social situations, etc...
I'm still working on Buffy. I don't even think she would be one of the main characters. In other words, not Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, Obi-Wan, R2-D2, and so on. I think she would fit into one of the more perifrial characters. Thank goodness I'm unemployed. I have plenty of time to think about this stuff.

Mo could see Xander as one of the nameless Jedi that get slapped around and killed at the battle of Geonosis. Actually, she'd be happy with any type of role that involves his death.
I do believe Anya would make a decent Threepio as well--always cryptic, no sense of humor, inseperable from her "sidekick", and really kinda bossy. Plus, gold=blonde. Am I right?
Tara=Yoda. Knows there are Jedi more powerful then himself. Cute, but you're not sure how he fits in right away. Very reserved, but strong willed and good in a fight (when force is unavoidable). Preaches defense, not attack. Laid back and peaceful in almost every way. And I bet he's a hell of a soprano, when he feels like singing.
This is kinda geeky. Oh, I forgot the forum I was in. Never mind.

Jason, Meghan, and Dawn --
I never thought about those roles for those characters. And thinking about it, I have to say -- you're all spot on!!
That was kind of eerie. Great job!
