Send in the Clone Wars


All my life I have been a Star Wars fan. I love it. I love ALL of the movies...yes even the prequels. I saw Attack of the Clones FOUR times on opening day. When the Special Editions were released theatrically I was in heaven because it was the first time since I was a kid that my most favorite thing in the world was at the top of pop culture consciousness. So it is with great excitement and satisfaction when I say that there will be another Star Wars movie released.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars In Theaters and on Television in 2008

The coolest thing about this? It will be released on August 15th, my birthday. So while most people are dreading the coming day and feeling old on their 30th birthday, I'll be spending it watching a new Star Wars film feeling like a little kid again. I can't wait.

In other news, on September 7, Spore will actually be released. It's good to know they didn't rest on their laurels of E3 Game of the Show for four years running and are actually selling a product.

LOST & Found

So here are the questions rolling around my head after last nights season premiere of LOST.

1. Hurley said he was one of the "Oceanic Six." Does that mean only six people made it off the island? If so, we now know half of them. Jack, Kate and Hurley. Is Sawyer another one? Kate did refer to someone else saying "He'll wonder where I've been" in the season 3 finale. Plus, I'm guessing one of them died and that's the funeral that Jack went to in the season 3 finale. But clearly it's someone that no one missed as only Jack showed up...Ben?

2. What is the secret known only to the Oceanic six? Jack checked up on Hugo to make sure he didn't say anything. What's so important that they can't tell? Hmm...

3. Who was the man who claimed to be an Oceanic lawyer? He asked "Are they still alive?" Does this mean the Oceanic six are not the only survivors? Could ONLY six people leave or did the rest of the survivors willingly stay on the island? Or does it mean all but six people DIED on the island?

Here's a prediction. After learning that Hurley and Jack both think they shouldn't have left, I'm going to guess that the series will end with them all returning to the island.

I'm really glad that the show is back on. I've missed it dearly. But I'm also watching with a sense of dread, because I know there's only seven episodes left. I truly hope the writers get what they want so they can get back to making my favorite shows.
