I used to read expanded universe, and quite liked the Han Solo Adventures amongst others... but enough about books. Not that they're bad or anything, its just that they take forever to read, and for that reason I've stopped reading most fiction a long time ago.

The story was pretty good too, not the everyman reluctant hero that you see in everything else but an idiot-king. I also loved the production motifs, like when the teacher and schoolkids were stomping on the bugs, and the "would you like to know more?" line... really good at redefining the full reality and not just taping a story onto my existence. The production quality was very bad in some places but was also very good in some places too, and I even used the DVD as reference material when setting up audio-video systems--the space battles had very high video resolution (you can see reflections of faces in the consoles), and the ground campaign had excellent audio (check the scene with the bombing run and crank up the volume). One of my favorite movies ever.
I have never seen any of the others, not even a trailer. I heard they were crap and I didnt want to ruin my attachment to the first one.
The second movie wasn't all that bad, except that it was more of a horror movie than anything else. I liked the third movie, and while it isn't big budget and isn't paul verhoven, I still liked the composition of the thing (and the soundtrack)

No atmosphere? GTFO.
The propeller is the greatest invention of all time.
