"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

General... Grievous?
Man, no. I foresee Lucas will rename Darth Vader into Dark Villain. Eh, people, let's start a rumour!
SCREW CANON!

How do your pronounce his middle name anyway? I've always wondered. I just say it like "russ".

There are only two people mentioned, one of whom is "General Grievous". Take a guess.

It wasn't clear whether you were referring to the article or the thread. And since I read your response considerably later in the day from when I read the article, I didn't connect the two, and thought you were referring to one of the numerous names in the thread:

Darth Vader (no middle name)
General Gervious (ditto)
(George) Lucas (no mentioned middle name)
Brian "I'm Brian Blessed" Blessed (err...)

Hence my confusion. :p

Anyway, I think it's pronounced like "rice" or "rise".

I think it's pronounced 'reese'.  Although now I have to think about it, I'm not 100% sure :D
