Rant: The Best and Worst of Star Wars

EW recent ran an article showing its picks for the best and worst of Star Wars. Star Wars Insider ran a similar article with its best moments (of course, being propoganda for the Star Wars empire, the Insider would never run a "worst moments" article).

(The only thing that may have made Slag less cool was his horribly idiotic portrayal in the cartoon. "Me Slag... want to... fight enemies!" But Slag was way too cool to be dragged down by that.) With the new Transformers Animated series come new Dinobots. And of course I had to picked the triceratops, which has been renamed Snarl (for some reason).
