Back From The Dead...Again

At least I am consistent in my inconsistency to update this blog. I do for a month or so, then disappear for a few, then come back, etc, etc, etc. I hope that this time (yes THIS time) to stick with it more.

I saw Star Wars on opening weekend and all I have to say is if you ever liked Star Wars or ever saw a Star Wars film, you owe it to yourself to see this movie. It's good for even the casual Star Wars fan. This film sparks a whole new set of Star Wars debates and answers some questions that fans never thought would be answered:

1. Why is the Emperor all disfigured?
2. Why do the Jedi fight like they're in the Matrix in the prequels but Luke and Vader duel like old men?
3. What did happen to Luke and Leia's mother (Padme)?
4. Why is Yoda seem to have a hard time moving in Empire Strikes Back but kicked the hell out of Count Dooku in AOTC?
5. What happened to Darth Vader that he is confined to his suit and chamber?

This and more is answered in Revenge of the Sith...an interesting title that friends of mine know I called long before they announced it. The original title of Return of the Jedi was Revenge of the Jedi, but Lucas changed it late in production since revenge is not a Jedi trait. There is actually a teaser out there for the film with the name Revenge of the Jedi. It's hard to find, but cool to watch.

Also tonight starts the draft lottery in the WWE. For those not into the storyline, each week for the whole month of June, each show will get one random pick off the others with the last week offering two picks to each show. NO ONE is immune. I will try and post my picks for each week. For this week:

Raw gets Kurt Angle - It'll sting Booker when he can't get his hands on Kurt anymore since he is on Raw. I would expect to see Booker POSSIBLE come to Raw at the end of the month either via a trade or the last pick on the last week.

SmackDown gets Tajiri or Christy Hemme - If it's Tajiri, it'll add more to the Cruiserweight division, which has been hurting. With a new Diva Search starting, unless they are going to do the obvious old winner vs new winner storyline, Christy has done all she can on Raw and moving her to SmackDown would allow her to feud with one of the most consistent non-wrestling Divas - Dawn Marie. I call it here, in 10-15 years, Dawn Marie's will be spoken of in the same light as Sheri Martel. Just you watch...

Well, since I'm at work, I should get back to work...enjoy Raw or whatever else you do on Monday Night.
