Wasn't particularly enamoured of the original, but that at least had action and precious little in the way of soap opera plots. Seriously, I tried to watch the pilot of the 'reboot' (stupid term). I kept watching, thinking "something's bound to happen in a minute" and I was still thinking that when it suddenly ended. I didn't bother with part two. The original was bargain basement Star Wars - you know, like the prequels - but at least things happened.
The old version was Star Wars for Christians. The new version was Babylon 5 for Christians.
Star Wars is Star Wars for Christians. Remember the nonsense about the "Force." It is not an atheistic franchise at all. Battlestar Galactica is for Mormons.
