‘STAR’ TOURS

“It has already lived long and prospered,” Kenneth Turan’s closing “Star Trek” reference in his “Star Wars” piece, angered and insulted Jedis everywhere (“It Still Packs a Force,” Jan. 26).

A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack. However, I can’t control myself: Go kiss my Wookie!
