I am a shameless Star Wars lover. I use the force. I try not - I do, or do not (there is no 'try'). I have a bad feeling about things. I find your lack of faith disturbing. I let the Wookie win. You get the idea.
And, like so many thirty-somethings, I have shaken my head in sorrow at the first two installments of the second trilogy (I mean, really the first triology, because, you see, Star Wars is really the fourth movie and the first of the second trilogy, even though it was made first. And it is really called "A New Hope." And there were going to be nine they say but . . . hey, why are you backing away from me? Come back! Come ba-a-a-a-ck!).
But there is a true legacy to the Star Wars saga. A tale worthy of the Star Wars name. It is sanctioned by Lucasfilms, covers the period between Episodes II and III is called "The Clone Wars." If you missed the first twenty chapters, you missed Star Wars gold. Shown in three-minute "micro-episodes" (complete with a <1 second long 'preview' of the next installment), it was the best four weeks on television last fall, and had me glued to my television between 8:01 and 8:04 p.m. for a month. It is everything Star Wars should be (meaning "no kissing" and "lots of lightsabers").
Chapters 21-25 air this week at 7:00 p.m. The installments are a little longer (which actually hurts some of the charm), but it is a good, good watch. And you can get the first 20 episodes on DVD.
Did I mention it was a cartoon?
Watch The Clone Wars and you will have taken your first step into a larger world.
See your first line, and then the title of Colin's post ...
