Thanks, Saucepan Man .<P>And Thrackamazog, I have to respectfully disagree re Star Wars. If you cut away the window dressing, the Star Wars prequels have only a handful of really meaningful characters; Palpatine, Dooku (I guess), Anakin, Padme, Obi-Wan and the droids. (I guess Jar Jar would have to count as meaningful too, considering that whole tricked-by-Palpatine thing, though it kills me to say this). Also it takes place within a relatively brief span of time, where the Silmarillion does not.<p>[ 5:49 PM December 29, 2003: Message edited by: Kalimac ]
