Today's Star Wars Items

Interesting that today brought me not one, but two Star Wars items.

1. I came across David Brin's collections of essays putting Star Wars...well, George Lucas...on trial.  Star Wars On Trial. I feel some weakening of my geek-cred since I've never even heard of this collection.
2. My friends over at this piece about the upcoming Kinect Star Wars game. This will certainly be an affront to the Star Wars faithful. Perhaps if you liked Jar-Jar, you'll be ok with this.

I'd never considered the controversy around Star Wars. Ok, I've heard the debates about the prequels, and then the whole Shatner incident. Maybe you have. Let me know. Otherwise, just another weird, drippy day here in the great Puget Sound basin.
