Ravi Zacharias: Can Man Live Without God?
An amazing book that makes the case for God not by citing the Bible or great theologians, but by analyzing the philosophies of famous atheists and showing their flaws.
C. S. Lewis: Mere Christianity
C.S. Lewis was an atheist for much of his life. Appropriately, this book makes the case for the existance of God first and Christianity second with carefully outlined and surprisingly simple reasoning. I consider this required reading for anyone searching for meaning.
C. S. Lewis: Space Trilogy
Religious Sci-Fi Fantasy: A very tiny genre. In "Out of the Silent Planet", "Perelandra", and "That Hiddeous Strength", C.S. Lewis manages to tackle difficult theological questions as we follow Dr. Ransom in his adventures on Mars, Venus, and back on Earth. My favorite science fiction series by far.
I, for one, welcome our new LucasFilm overlords!
Seriously though, considering how much George Lucas messed up with the first two prequels and then messed with the original trilogy. Should we really be expecting much? The only good movie that he has "re-edited" was THX-1138. Such an overlooked movie.

Even if I wanted to stay away from this, I would show up on opening day anyway. This movie is too cool not to see. Any film that brings James Earl Jones back to his most beloved role is good in my books.

I've probably said it before, but Episode 1 and 2 were not bad movies. They were merely inadequate replacements for the imagined back-stories we have all been subconsciously concocting since childhood. The more I watch these movies (especially episode 1) the more I enjoy them. Now, with the excellent Clone Wars cartoons to fill in extra parts of the story, I'm completely happy with the series so far. We'll just have to wait and see how well this movie ties everything together.

I've reaffirmed my belief that The Phantom Menace is a better movie than Attack of the Clones.
I hope Episode 3 beats them both. BTW, fir the first time in the history of Star Wars, I have kept myself clean of spoilers for this movie. I literally know VERY little about it, and I'm proud of that fact.

I also heard that George Lucas is going to make a bajillon dollars off this, but I doubt that's much of a secret.
