Yes, but Lucas has held onto the toy franchise/rights...which plainly shows his level of 'interest'...

I am with Uvah on this. Never cared for Star Wars but like the Star Trek stuff. Never cared for the modern series though but liked the original and the 2 new movies have been good. I always found Star Wars to be too, (well this is the point I will bite my tongue)

Childish.

Working that out wasn't rocket surgery ...

Same with me. But I guess that's obvious.

I am Dyslexic of Borg.  Your ass is malted....

What is childish about finding Star Wars childish?

Nothing at all...only a child wouldn't find it childish [but even if he did he wouldn't care...hence the term]...

"Muppets In Space"

Biggest flaw in the series was their use....including the bloke in the Gorilla suit.....Absurd-Aliens-R-Us.

At least in Star Trek the 'Tribbles' were tongue-in-cheek.

Haven't they confirmed they won't be taking plot lines directly from the books? A cameo or reference might be cool, but I doubt he'll be a main villain. Besides it sounds like the main protagonists won't be Luke, Han and Leia.

They can't ignore it completely, if they declare the entire EU non-canon it will be a nightmare to work out what details of the universe have been altered because of it. My personal hope is they place the movies in the gap in the timeline after 45 ABY (I.e. 40 years after Return of the Jedi), they can make their own plot there with causing much confusion.

What's childish about an army of fucking Teddy Bears defeating the Empire?  

I like both, but if forced to choose, I would pick Trek.

When I finally gave up on the tripe.

I needed much bigger suspenders to 'suspend belief'...

The first trek movie was horribly boring.

I don't see how you can complain about Yoda in silly fights when you have a god damn blooper-o-rama going on with R2D2 and C3PO. You know that deleted scene from Hoth where the snow monster breaks into the base and chases around Han and some troopers for a bit? That shit was better than what we got in the prequels.

I don't need alternative instances of BS childish episodes....

For memorable instances of real value/class with 'robots' I'd go back to Silent Running...

I liked the first three star wars (in RL release order).  I remember the first "Star Wars" was just that, no episode number attached (Episode yada yada yoda).  Never had any interest in the prequels and sequels...  still don't.  Somehow, for me, the magic was gone by the time the fourth release came out...
