Surely Lucas still has some meager connection to what's good entertainment. Right? Uh, I mean, right?

Originally Posted By markymouse "We've been talking about ST2 for so long now, I already feel like it's an old ride, and needs a refurb." LOL. I love that comment. It's so true. Didn't I ride the new 3-D Star Tours 2 a year or two ago, right before heading over to Carsland?
