Editorial: Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace - 10 Years Later

Standing at the elementary school bus stop with my daughters this morning I noticed two young brothers engaged in the most intense Light-saber duel since Obi-Wan defeated Darth Maul in the power generator silo on Naboo. Writing this now I am compelled to mark the distinction between the actors portraying Obi-Wan (Sir Alec Guinness and Ewan McGregor) and that act of clarification makes me pause and ask: Do today’s youth who have grown up with a newer, fancier version of Star Wars truly appreciate the Original trilogy? 

OH NO! Some fans of the beloved G.I Joe comic and animated TV series franchise are starting to rumble over the first look at the action figure about to hit the shelves for the upcoming movie based on the same series and comics G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra. I have been following this movie since I found out about it about a year ago or so. But after the cool but heartless Wolverine movie and the pure action driven ala Transformers (even have the same slow motion twist to escape rocket fire coming down the street bit) trailer, I am starting to worry.  But I guess I am being hard on some of these movies and am expecting too much. I am sure G.I. Joe will be in the least entertaining and pretty damn cool to look at.
