Agreed, I didn't even bother with the most recent Star Wars, there is only 
so much Jar-Jar Binks I can handle.  But two nights ago I watched the DVD 
Serenity and even though I never saw Firefly (wish I had now), the TV series 
it evolved from, I really liked the movie as well as the universe it took 
place in.  If a space-sim came out that did it justice I would snap it up.
