I don’t know if anyone else has been paying attention to things relating to the Star Wars movies, but I have been meaning to mention this. If you are not aware, Star Wars episode one will be at theaters May 99. A trailer was released on the net and at movie theaters. I spent eight hours downloading the trailer from a site called countdown to Star Wars. I have followed some of the rumors and such. And I was a little worried about the casting of Ben Kenobi. If you don’t know, Ewan Macgregor is playing the young Ben.

This worried me because the majority of Macgregor’s work are kind of weird movies such as Trainspotting. To me he just wasn’t right for the role. These feelings were put to rest with the release of the trailer. Wow! You only see him in one bit where he talks, but his accent is perfect. None of his hard Scottish accent like in Trainspotting. Plus we have Liam Neeson and Samuel Jackson in the movie. Of course it will be weird not having Jackson swearing, but I will live with it. Can’t expect him to say shit like “that mutha-fucka is a true jedi.” It just would be wrong.
