Just listened to SWMM#19, where you guys talked about Droid World. Definitely got a Black Hole vibe off of this issue as well. ZX3 as Maximillian works, but then you have one eclectic-borderline-crazy guy on a giant ship populated only by droids? Sounds like Reinhardt to me. Still, the storybook sounded fun and it reminded me of an episode of Droids, which I always liked as a kid (Ewoks, too). I like the Droid characters and wish they had gotten better treatment in the prequels.

And THANK YOU for making your episodes 100% Robot C**k free!

All right halfway through Revenge of the Sith I can gladly say that I would gladly pay good money to see Star Wars Episode 3.5 Obi Wan Kenobi the Movie. Obi Wan kicks ass.

Okay here's the entire saga in order of how much I enjoyed it.

AOC
ANH

ROS
ROJ

Ugh, OK, here's my "enjoyment" scale, but I do love these movies:

ESB(one of my favorite films, hands down)
ROTJ(I like the Ewoks, and all the puppets, suck it)
ANH(If this was all we got, it would be a classic piece of space opera, but the sequels make this better by existing)
ROTS(very entertaining, if a little sloppy at times)
AOTC(hate the romance)
TPM(too much unnecessary padding, should have been leaner)

Since we all seem to be ranking the films...

TESB
SW
ROTJ
ROTS
TPM
ATOC

And since I'm not certain how it would fit into continuity, I left the animated Clone Wars film off the list. But if I were to include it, it would end up at the bottom of the list. I really soured me on the prequels and made me not want to watch the Clone Wars series on Cartoon Network...

Joe -- That, and the character models looked like they were carved out of blocks of wood, which if you think about it, is somewhat ironic -- Anthrax

[NewFun#6]

I'm really surprised by how far down AOTC is on most everyones' lists. I find it and the original SW interchangeable in the #2 spot on my list, second only to TESB.

[Bibliomike]

Ok, I'll add my two quatloos -- um, Republic credits -- to the alphabet soup:

TESB
SW (i.e., ANH <g>)
ROTS
ROTJ
AOTC
TPM

Some days, I might give ROTJ number 3 instead of ROTS; but ROTJ recycles an awful lot of stuff from Eps IV and V (another Death Star? Really? What is this, the Star Wars' universe made-for-TV movie?); and Ian McDiarmid and Ewan McGregor both turn in great performances in ROTS.

YAY! We scooped the BBC by months! Actually, we were the first people to ask him for an interview and ours was the longest he gave!!
