RomanFanboy Wrote:One of the things I enjoy about John Biles's Mai-Hime Future story is that his cast includes a Jack and a Bobby who are almost exactly the opposite of Jack and Bobby Kennedy. (Biles is a Catholic and probably a Democrat.) The only way for him to improve the joke would be a thin, teetotal Teddy.I think you might be in the wrong thread...
Myself, I dislike Disney movies, particularly Pocahantas. At the time, John Smith (not the one in Mai-Hime or Haruhi), was a balding, red-bearded middle-aged soldier. IIRC, he'd seen service in North Africa against the Moors, but I'm pretty vague on that. Pocahantas was twelve. (There was no love story between the two. Pocahantas did later end up involved with another man when she was older, and I think I remember that it wasn't the happiest of situations.)
On the other hand, I quit Stars Wars with the novel of Movie III. As I started with the YJK and JJK books, I haven't liked what I've heard has happened in the EU since, so I'd welcome another reboot there.
The positive side is the possibility of Kingdom Hearts with Lightsabers.
At worst, from my perspective, they'll set lawyers on Star Wars fanfic. At best, I doubt Disney will be able to make it better than Lensman, Skylark, and most of the other things that 'Doc' Smith did.
