I’m pleased to report that episode 008 of Sci-Fi Cast is now online and is truly one for the ages. Dave Caolo and I participate in the geek version of Fesivus and “air our grievances” with the Star Wars prequel films. We cover a wide range of important nerd-esqe topics such as GCI sets, the less than deadly Nuisance Battle Droids, poor casting decisions and how a high school biology lesson managed to suck the life out of the Star Wars universe. This one’s our longest episode yet, clocking in at 47 minutes, so if you’re looking for the Cliff Notes version of this episode, simply skip forward to the 39′ minute mark to avoid all that tedious mucking about in hyperspace. If you love Star Wars however, tune in for the whole cast, I think Dave and I do a fairly good job of putting into words what was so frustrating about ep I-III. Don’t forget to post your own prequel pet peeves (or favorite bits) in the comments over at theSciFiCast.com! Next week we return you to our regularly scheduled program of BSG. See you then!

Twitter + Star Wars = Good Times
One of the things I love most about Twitter is the way interaction between friends and followers can take on a life of its own. Today I casually threw out a question on Twitter that turned into a genuine laugh riot. Taking a cue from one of my all-time favorite shows, Who’s Line Is It Anyway?, the question I posed was this:
Name a quote from a Star Wars movie that could apply to your significant other.
Without missing a beat, I received back dozens of responses, some of the best of which I’ve reposted here for your amusement. Thanks to everyone who took time out to play today, it was a blast!
panache: “Either I’m going to kill her or I’m beginning to like her!”
MauriceReeves: “I don’t know who you are or where you’ve come from, but from now on you’ll do as I say, okay?”
gedeon: “She may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts kid.”
Moltz: “IT’S A TRAP!!!”
firecracker: “Why you stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking, nerf herder!”
dmoren: “You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.”
krystynheide: “I cannot teach him. The boy has no patience.”
and my personal favorites:
ag_michael: “You are required to maneuver straight down this trench and skim the surface to this point. The target area is only two meters wide.”
luomat: “No no no, this one goes THERE, THAT one goes there!”
bettnet: “Size matters not. Look at me, judge me by size, do you?”
splorp: “Get in there, you big furry oaf! I don’t care what you smell!”
