Star Wars > Countdown: III Days to Episode III

Kevin Smith liked Episode III (spoiler warning). So some people will like it, some won't, but I respect Kevin Smith's opinion. If he likes it, I'm willing to get my hopes up for potential dashing. Disclaimer: I stopped reading after a few paragraphs because I couldn't stand the spoilers. For all I know he ends his positive review with "Ha! Psyche!"

Via Slashdot: The Science of Star Wars.

The Star Wars Technical Commentaries by Curtis John Saxton (Astrophysics PhD) is awesome. I read his discussion of midi-chlorians and the analogies with mitochondria were scientifically accurate, right down to noting that mitochondrial DNA is inherited matrilinearly.

His analysis of Darth Vader's injuries based on the movies, books, and the glimpses of skeleton during the emperor's lightning bolt attack is amazing. It made me pop in the Return of the Jedi DVD to watch it again. Saxton is a little OC, but his site has hours worth of reading for Star Wars fans.
