I generally agree with Luke on this front; STNG does a great job of story telling, and generally makes decent social comentary, and while it shot itself in the foot with some of the movies (especially with proto-data of ST Nemesis). The episode "tapestry" is perhaps the finest example of the story and character development.
ST reminds me of Bradbury, and Asimov reminds me of SW; ST and Ray tell great stories, in which the science is the vehicle and the story is the point, while SW and Issac have ok to good stories/characters, with iconic bits (Law of Robotics and Lightsabers), yet the story seems secondary at times. Sweeping generalizations, I know, yet it's merely my opinion.
No, I don't own ST memorabilia.
Yes, I own lots of SW memorabilia.
And back to the thread, they ought to have left Maul dead. Pointless, unnecessary, and pointless; wasn't Savage Oppress enough of a back-hand to the community? So many more directions to explore- why dig this up?
