Star Wars: Fannish Rambling on Moot Points
Yeah, it’s Lucas’ world, and we just watch it. Still….
Dave has already written a review of Revenge of the Sith, which spurred lively discussion, and even one suggestion that Lucas perhaps shouldn’t write and direct these things. Let’s face it: the visuals are stupendous, and the emotional scenes, generally, stupid.
So…. Just for fun, let’s play Monday Night Quarterback, or How to Unfairly Belabor a Moot Point. Come on! Bureauites’ ideas for Enterprise awhile back were cool. If you were setting up the three prequels (with knowledge of the actual three films, of course), what would you have done?
Charlie Jade: Diamonds

Charlie Jade: Dirty Laundry
Recently, a discussion thread at the Bureau raised the problem of people who constantly ask what is happening in a show or movie, why it’s happening, and questions of this nature. Usually, they appear to be operating under the assumption that you somehow know more about the show/movie than they do, when, usually, you’ve both been watching for the same amount of time.
Okay. Don’t ever watch Charlie Jade with someone like that in the room.
