Presenting a Psalm of Chris, from my letter to the Ithorians.

Hallelujah — Hallelujah — Hallelujah — Haaaaalllleujah!

Greeting brothers and sisters, let us give thanks.

Oh, Lord. Thank you, oh Lord. Oh, what a great Lord you are. Thanks are oh so verily in order.

I am unworthy of blessings. I am wretched. I stink of procrastination and self-admiration. I overtaketh mine own portion from many lines of buffets. Dreadful is my Constance. Though I am not sure if Constance is the correct word, oh Lord. It dideth sound well. Verily do I suck.

So thank you, Father. Because you have put aside mine faults and answered the prayers of countless fanboys and fangirls, geeks and fan-club members across your magnificent creation!

We did wait, and lo you did put into the mind of yon servant, he who is Lucas, the spark that illuminates our lives. Yea, it is so, that soon, a TV show shall be born.

Verily, we hope, that such a show features prominently he who is Boba Fett. And let not Gungans ever be present, Lord. For truly they are the evil creation of a madman lost in the Tunisian desert.

It is rumored that our brother and sister in continuity Bib Fortuna and Oola will be featured. Thanks be to you!
Oh Lord, let it be known that we require two droids. Two is the number of droids that we ask be involved, and let them be R2 and the 3PO.

Though in the one hand you favor us, in the other you set us low. For from the land of news that ain't cool, it is rumored that Pod Racing will be revisited. That is OK, Lord, for you are wise. So longeth as the CGI be few and the lines of dialogue written not by yon servant, he who is Lucas.

Even so, would it matter? NAY, I say. For did I not see “Phantom Menace” four times within the theater? And did not that “Menace” suck more than any other? Indeed, Lord, it did. So even if what we don't want persists, it is our wont to watch anyway.

Lord, I ask this bone. Give unto us Grand Moff Tarkin, but let not Obi-Wan nor Yoda be present, for they will lessen the impact of the story. But, yea, will that dark lord of the Sith Vader be needed. But sparingly, Lord. Oh so very sparingly.

And verily I say, please, Father, bless us with Lando Calrissian. Though his inclusion goes against my reasoning for not including others, he is just too much of a damned cool pimp, that not to have him would be a sin.

The Force will be with us, hopefully by the fall 2008 TV schedule. Amen.

For those who read this and shout ‘blasphemy!' I have only this to say:

Blasphemy? Oh, no, my friend. blasphemyou.
