We hate the fact that the ghost of Alec Guinness (whose name is an anagram of Genuine Class, by the way) now stands next to Hayden Christensen (whose name I tried to re-arrange into a flattering anagram myself, but only came up with “Nn…Dense Chest Hair”).

Hee! :D

Cheers for the article - I'll have to run it by my Star Wars peeps and see if they agree!

Hmm. Yes, that sounds about right for me. Who can muster the energy to bitch about authors who gets everything wrong? But an author that gets soooooo close to something amazing and then messes up spectacularly... now, that's something worth getting worked up about. =]
