It's a sad thing, truly...but not because of his "Obi Wan" Star Wars allure...Guinness was TRULY one of the greatest actors alive in our time.

Someone shot me a note asking why we hadn't redone the home page of Echo with some custom made Obi-Wan homage...and as a general note in reply (since it's someone who reads these boards), I'd just like to say two things:

1) Guinness didn't like Star Wars nuts going on about him while he was alive, and I'm sure he wouldn't want it happening in death. While I'm positive that everyone, Guinness included, would be pleased to know that he will be missed by millions...let's just leave it at that.

2) This ain't no fanboy page :-)
