If I read this a few years ago, I'd think "oh drek". But given what's been done with Battlestar Galactica, they could pull off a TV series that really captures the rich tapestry of the first three films.

Star Wars is over. Darth is having anal sex with Obi One in Jedi heaven and Luke is his son.

Ever read Mormon science fiction? Orson Scott Card?

I desperately want to see all the Ender's Game series made into an expansive television show. So much that I've played with mapping out a screenplay that converts at least Ender's Game into about 12 one hour episodes.

Live action? Hmmm, I dunno. Last I heard they were still thinking about doing an animated series. The "Clone Wars" series on Cartoon Network is really awesome, and I think I'd prefer an animated series. But, I don't have much faith in anything Lucas does anymore.

The religious stuff in the last three books, the "Speaker for the Dead" bit, of the main series does get a bit religious, but not so Mormon. The bit about the philotic web is a big nod, as I see it, to both Vedic and Buddhist traditions as well as string theory. If anything, the Mormon stuff is couched in the importance of family interconnectivity.

I mean, c'mon, with a religion like Mormonism, they've got to be good story tellers.
