Mech Mania!
Okay, this is just wrong. I just saw a commercial for some new Star Wars toys, which included the Millenium Falcon. That's not so bad; who didn't play with a toy MF when they were a kid, right? But this is a new MF -- it transforms into a mechanized version of Hans Solo. WTF?!? Sure it's been a while since I've seen the movies, but I don't remember any sort of robot version of Hans, much less the Millenium Falcon transforming into a robot version of Harrison Ford. And since when is Hans Solo so uncool that he needs to be a robot for the sake of today's hip crowd? Maybe I just don't get it...

I agree. This is just wrong. The merger of the transformers toy design with the sci fi classic characther is, in some ways, blasphemous.
What's next, a remake of the classic "War of The Worlds" with the lead character being played by an adherent of scientology?
Blasphemous is the word. And Han Solo is the coolest!
