Really neat documentary about the characters and plots of SW and how they reflect classic mythologies of Western and Eastern cultures, as well as the old American frontier. What's cool about this program is cross section of writers, film makers and even political figures who add their views on all things great which make up SW. Comments come from the likes of Stephen Colbert, Newt Gingrigh, to Kevin Smith,( a really thin ) Peter Jackson and yes....Joss Whedon ! Makes for some entertaining viewing, imo.
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss
" They don't like it when you shoot at 'em. I worked that out myself. "

He's shown up a couple of times, the latest as the topic goes to discussing Palpatine's grab of power, much like Hitler did in Germany.
Also, Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather add their 2 cents in, as well as Dr Camille Paglia. Quite a collection of folks, to be sure.

TVGuide dot com says that it will re-show next 2 weekends - Sunday the 3rd, 8pm and Midnight, and Saturday the 9th at 5pm.
My two complaints are:
#1 Not enough Joss! (of course)
#2 When they show clips from the original trilogy, they use the "spiced up" versions.
MAL "You only gotta scare him."
JAYNE "Pain is scary..."

sorry, i'm a SW geek, i have to defend...
episodes 1-3 may have had some bad acting/writing but the saber fights were awesome, the movies themselves LOOKED really good and Obi-wan Kenobi was insanely cool (I even grew a beard).
although i have to partly agree with you and say that If Obi-wan wasn't talking, they weren't showing really cool cityscapes with flying cars and spaceships, or lightsabers weren't clashing my mind starts to wander about how cool it would be to own a flying car of my own....

Obi-wan aside, it's tough for ANY movie to overcome the suckyness of Jar-Jar Binks. Messah sooo sowwie !
