Hey Jack,
As much as I hate to admit I started. Star Wars is now making quit the presence on my shelves. I might even have Mrs. Bear talked into going to that Star Wars thingy. Let me know when and where it is.

Honestly, much as I love the original trilogy, I've been burnt out on most SW merchandising and hype for a while.
In fact, I just finished going through all my boxed up figures (for everything), picking out a few I really wanted to keep, and getting the rest ready to hopefully sell on eBay. I'll put up a list of the stuff in the Flea Market first (giving everyone here first dibs) - I plan to price things cheap, because I don't expect to be able to get anywhere close to my origihnal costs back, so I'll just take what I can get for them. It might be a few days before I can get to that, though.

Jack -
You could almost say I am burned out on S.W. now. I swear - just about everywhere I turn there is some sort of link that says "ROTS figures/toys/posters/napkins" which is followed quickly by "spoilers inside!"
Geez.
Episode 3 has a lot of work cut out for it considering what a let-down the special effects-fest, lack of good writing disappointments episodes 1 and 2 were. That said, how entertaining can it be when all the pre-movie merchandise is pushed so hard and plain plot spoilers are revealed through that merchandise as well as various websites?
Star Wars needs more of a rest than Star Trek, and that is saying something.

Yeah, I still remember the worst spoiler for Ep 1. My friends and I, having tried to avoid any plot spoilers, rushed out to pick up the Ep 1 soundtrack the day it was released (I think it was the week before the movie began playing). Imagine our frustration when we all picked up a CD to find that one of the tracks was titled "Death of Qui-Gon." Talk about a bummer spoiler ..... ![](http://img44.photobucket.com/albums/v136/TTC_Forum/banghead.gif) Its bad enough when the novelization is released a month before the movie .... ![](http://img8.photobucket.com/albums/v28/gunman_sr5/893Poopy-thumb.gif)
