- Sci-Fi Wire readers picked Star Wars: A New Hope as the top science fiction movie of all time. It won by 7.8%, with Blade Runner coming in second with 7.5%. No doubt that percentage would have been bigger if any of us fansites had heard of it beforehand…

- Those of you that have read it (and have Livejournal accounts) can surf over to the Expanded Universe community and take (Warning: Spoilers!) a slightly more detailed survey.

Don’t want to send a message there? They’ve added another cool “messaging” system using Ark of Truth clips.
