Feb 14 WONDERING what the perfect Valentine's gift could be?
Lingerie, chocolates, flowers maybe? If all of them fail it's still doubtful you could surprise your loved one with a Star Wars Valetine's card. However, a word of warning, unless your beloved normally dresses up in a white gown with two buns on the side of her head, it's probably best stick to the first ideas. If you insist though, here they are.

Jan 1 HAPPY new year! Here's to a great 2002, with a new Star Wars and Star Trek movie, and with any luck a more peaceful place to enjoy those kind of things.

In the meantime, Star Wars has been voted the greatest soundtrack of all time by the esteemed listeners of Classic FM. There were 43,000 votes and composer John Williams scored (get it?) highly, with four entries in the top 30, with Schindler's List (15th), Raiders of The Lost Ark (24th) and ET (29th). Go here for the full list.
For anyone who missed it, there's a rather good animation of the Fett family over at the official Star Wars site, complete with Boba jnr unwrapping his pressies.There has also been a MTV e-mail doing the rounds which shows a boy unwrapping his presents, only to find a lightsaber there. In his joy he lights it up, not realising it's real, and proceeds to slide his granny in half... very funny if you can get hold of it.
