     So, if you type into youtube 'Star Wars Episode IV Radio Drama', you will find a six hour program.  It is really great.
     Here is the link, if it works...
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=audiobook

     Hmmm.  Been having trouble posting the link, but the audiobook link will get you in the ball park.

     Anyway, I've been thinking that with the billion and more galaxies in the universe, that one of them could support a 'Star Wars-Styled Galaxy'.  It is certainly possible, I have decided, as many planets that could support life have been discovered by The Hubble telescope.  ( Thank god we have that thing. ) 

     The thing I have a problem with Star Wars, though, is "Could it really be feasible that it is in the past? "
     Could it really be possible that standard humans could develop that look like us? 

     In 'Dune', all people come from The Earth, and they call it 'Terra'.
     That kind of makes more sense.
     'Dune' is set 100,000 years into the future, I think, if I am not mistaken.

     Also, 'The Old Republic' is set in a time 30,000 years before Episode 1, and they had Imperials, Sith, Separatists, droids, and all that, just like in Star Wars.
     Hmmm.  Hard to wrap my head around it.

     Meanwhile, it is hard for me to accept 'The Star Trek Universe' as being feasible.  I think it will take humans a lot longer before they achieve the ability to travel to other worlds.

     Also, nothing can travel faster than light, so that is a problem for adventures on other worlds.

     Stargates like in 'Babylon 5' as 'short-cuts through space' seem like a good way to travel through space, as does the 'folding of space' in 'Dune', or even 'making jumps' like in 'Battlestar Galactica'.

     'Hyperspace Travel'....hmmm...maybe if the ship entered another dimension, and then came out at an appropriate spot....hmmmm.   Maybe.  I don't know how time would be affected.  Maybe time doesn't exist in hyperspace, which would be convenient.

     Also, would laser beams work in space?  Don't know. 

     In addition, when Han Solo flies into that space worm on an asteroid in 'Empire Strikes Back', I don't know how that worm would survive there.  What does it eat?  How did it get there?  Nothing organic can live in the vacuum of space.  Except for the creature from 'Alien', but even he would eventually die. 

     I read a recent thing that said, 'The Roman Empire Never Died'.  It merely switched its power from military to religious.
     So, a Galactic Empire could certainly exist for a long time. 

     Also, just because The Death Star is destroyed twice, with both the Emporer dying, followed by Darth Vader...well, is that enough to take down a Galactic Empire?  They have enough military to rule over a million worlds.  Surely, The Empire has other leaders that can step in. 
     Sure they lost a lot of ships over Endor, but I think The Empire would survive, as it has survived at least 30,000 years.
     I will have to research all of this on the Star Wars wiki, aptly named 'wookiepedia'.

     Research takes time, you know, but it is the key to good writing.

     Anyhow.....I have been pleased with how 'Star Wars: The Old Republic' online is more for adults.  I was first tired of Star Wars, as a lot of people were, when Ewoks were introduced.
     They do have strippers in this online game, but no nudity.  Also, I have not found the 'profanity' filter, and I don't know if there is one, like in other games.

     Cool, someone told me where the profanity filter was, so I was able to turn it off, thank ducking god.  I hate profanity filters, or any editing that involves chat.

     The other thing in 'Star Wars' is that sex isn't addressed much.  How do you think the galaxy got populated?  It is because people bonk each other, and are sexually attracted to each other, just like in real life.

     So, yeah, Star Wars is for kids, or it was for a while, but the adults need to reclaim it, and make it theirs.

     Just so you know, there are a couple of videos on redtube where you can type in 'Princess Leia' and find a couple of videos.  There is nothing better than a girl dressed in any kind of Princess Leia outfit.  It is every decent man's fantasy.

     Who knew that Carrie Fisher would be such a long-lasting sex symbol?  It just goes to show what not wearing a bra in space and lip gloss will do.  Also, the buns, hehe.

     Meanwhile, I don't have a problem with the basic events that occur during Episodes I, II, and III...it is just that they were told badly.
     It is like you write a paper for class, and your teacher hands it back, and tells you to work on it some more, because you are onto something.

     Darth Maul is a wonderful character, and as good as he is, Jar Jar goes in the other direction.  What happened?
     For Greedo, all you needed was a woman with a green mask on, and you get a great alien.  With this cgi Jar Jar, all you get is a bunch of bantha crap, and it sucks.

     'Star Wars' was originally marketed as 'The Adventures of Luke Skywalker', and that was acceptable to everyone, even though it kind of became more about Han Solo.
     The story of Annakin Skywalker...let's face it, you just need one movie for that.
     Episode I could have been about the origin of the Universe, and of the 'Star Wars Galaxy', and it could have explained a lot of things, like how 'The Force' began, how millions of worlds became populated, and how 'The Empire' was formed....let's try this, to see how it sounds...STAR WARS:  THE BIRTH OF THE EMPIRE.....wow, now you have a movie.

     For Episode II:   STAR WARS:  THE OLD REPUBLIC

     Episode III:  REVENGE OF THE SITH is good.  All the stuff about 'The Clone Wars' could be mentioned, and no one would ever have to deal with that crappy, fake romance between Amidala and Annakin ever again...which sucks for all who watch it, because it is as phony as cgi.

     'Star Wars' is, by the way, ultimately about WAR, and that is not a pretty subject.  People get killed, legally, just like in real life.
     In Episode IV, when Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru get killed, presumably by a stormtrooper with a flame thrower when you think about it...what else would give charred skeletal remains? ...uh...you knew it was war, and you knew it was serious, and that The Empire was evil, and meant business.  Killing people was just standard practice.

     A hard thing to suffer through in Episode I is Annakin's period of time as a slave...ooh, he worked in a shop with a flying blue Middle Eastern guy, and he got to play with other kids.  What a punishment.  It didn't look like he had it that tough.  Also, he was done with it by age 11.

     In Episode VI, in Jabba's palace with that dancing blue girl, there is actually one frame where you can see her aeriola, how do you spell that? Her nipple, basically.
     'Star Wars' could use some more nudity as far as I am concercened.  What is villainous scum without nudity around?  It goes hand in hand.  Sex is why most evil people go into the biz, duh.  Just look at the dudes who are in and operate the porn business.  They look like villainous scum to me.
     'The Sarlaac Pit' if you haven't figured it out by now, is a 'vagina monster with teeth'.  It makes you think about Episode VI a little differently.
     Jabba's head looks like a dick head for Christ's sake if you look.
     George has been critiqued in the past for making many aliens look like women's private parts...haha.

     Let's see, anything else I want to mention about 'Star Wars' right now, besides they don't show any blood or injuries hardly?  Hmmm....

     In the Star Wars radio drama I mentioned, it actually says that Luke was interested in joining The Empire as a pilot, like Biggs did, who later found The Rebellion, and joined that.  This is the thing that prompts Luke to join The Rebellion.  Only when his aunt and uncle get killed does he truly hate The Empire.  That makes sense, because then it was personal.
     Luke was kept naive all the time growing up.  He never learned too much about what was going on in the galaxy, being busy working the moisture farm.  His information seemed to come from his friends.
    
     Playing 'Star Wars Galaxies', I learned that the city of Bestine was the Imperial Capitol on that world.  Now that I play 'The Old Republic' that game left a lot to be desired.
     I remember going to Kyssshhkk for the first time, The wookiee home world, and it was 'quite disappointing'.
     'The Old Republic seems to be 100 times better than SWG.  It is free to play, by the way.  I hope to get a subscription to it some day.

     What is nice about TOR is that the missions are catered to the class you play.  It makes more sense than in SWG, where everybody just does the same missions.

     One other thing about Star Wars is this 'Rule of Two' business with the Sith.  It seems ridiculous.

     Another thing is this 'medichlorins' crap that Annakin supposedly has more of...I don't know.  You would think that instead of not permitting Jedi to marry that you would instead have an intense breeding program to mate jedi with with female jedi to produce a lot of jedi to take over The Empire.

     I guess that is enough for now.
