"Lost in Space" (IMHO). The only part that was weird, was the incredible MTV-style editting speed of the plot, sub-plots, & massive character-developement.

The only part about this "Star Wars" that I'm leary of is my lack of enthusiasm for digital-objects & creatures which still MUST be done with authentic-Models & animatronics to be believable. today's technology doesn't properly render shadows, glare, textures, fog, fire, running water, etc.. However, ILM "can" do mechanical objects, ships & buildings well, if the bothered to do timely ray-tracing. In fact, CG people refer to texturing as imprinting panels with pictures. It still takes WAY too much computation to produce anything, but flat jewelled surfaces & providing a cheap method to articially smooth them into facsimile of that desired. Don't get me wrong, this method works well in high action shots far away. But if the creature slows down, the virtual nature is emensely vivid.
