Star Wars exhibit at Smithsonian few years ago discussed how SW had mythology elements as well as Campbell works. Generally I hate museums and I enjoyed this exhibit.

that doesn't look like a photo from the show. She's never had her hair like that. although I just noticed the window with the stars on the other side. Maybe it's some kind of promotional shoot. Because I do not remember her ever having her hair like that during the show.Originally posted by Ted Striker

For good sci fi look at Asimov, Lem, Clarck, Brin, heck, even Chriton's earlier works are very good sci fi.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

For the game that is based on Star Trek, try Star Fleet Battles. Excellent game of tactical combat between starships (and other objects).Originally posted by Brent
I'm far more interested in gaming and reference books than onscreen stuff
The computer game Starfleet Battles is largely based on the board game, down to the notations (e.g. alpha strike). However, it sucks.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

I liked the original series Star Trek. It was my first experience with decent quality science fiction (all that dreck from the '50s does not qualify), and it was on TV for free every week. It explored some interesting ideas for me (I was a kid back then), and did so with humor oftentimes. I only saw a couple of the movies (Wrath of Khan comes to mind), but they were more nostalgia than anything worthy of my attention. I enjoyed TNG as well, but more as kind of mindless familiar comic space opera than science fiction. DS9 was good as well in a similar vein (though I admit it was more intellectually stimulating than TNG).
Star Wars started off with a bang. It had good special effects for the era, and its simple story nonetheless promised an interesting gradual exposition of an entire galaxy's histories and mysteries. Unfortunately instead of being the sort of thing (IMO) that could delight both parents and children, it became the sort of thing that children alone appreciate. I was too old to enjoy even the sequels when they came out. The great promised exposition turned out to be a lot more hinting around the edges while the main efforts were put into the lame characters, special effects, muppetry. Anything but the script. The more modern set of films is better than the last two of the first set (and what wasn't), but they don't do much for my even so, aside from impress with their special effects.He's got the Midas touch.
