When I got the Star Wars Edition of Trivial Pursuit, to get anyone to play I had to give them three pie pieces each as handicap and to win the final piece to complete my pie I had to answer all the questions on three cards. I still won and gave the game away when it was over.

I did. Micheal and George were friends, and to make him happy, George helped Micheal get a cameo in Men In Black II instead...

Is it because you don't like science fiction, or just don't like Star Wars?

I love Sci-Fi. I just never took the time to see any of them. Also, the original movie, being low budget and intended as a kid's matinee movie, offered little curiosity. Once it took off, I guess I just never jumped on the train. I also have only seen one Star Trek movie and simply followed the plot without being aware of all of the "Trekkie" intricacies and references etc. I remember die-hards having fits about all of the inaccuracies. I didn't know or care.

Here's what y'all do; Rent out the first three and watch them on a rainy weekend. You'd be in for a great treat. Then you rent out the last three, and then return them because they ain't really worth watching. Well, maybe the last one; but it's a coin-toss.
