Before the next movie comes out? Gee ... which release date would that
be? Before 1990? before 1995? Before 1997? Before the year 2000? Don't
get me wrong, I was raised on Star Wars and am not ashamed to admit
adicted to it. However, one thing I have learned is to not hold my
breath waiting for the next flick to come out.	The above mentioned
release dates were/are form Lucasfilm ... since then the Indiana Jones
trilogy has been done, not to mention Willow, and a score of others ....
now we hear that Lucasfilm will re-release the entire first trilogy with
a whopping 5-10 extra minutes of refilmed scenes .... AND Lucas'
creative genious has shown up in the stores in the form of a new novel
that is a sequal series to the Willow story set 15 years later. Anywho,
I am rambling. My point is, I am playing with the models NOW, and
waiting for the next release of a Star wars movie won't help.  *sigh*
