Oh, it's happening right now?
I must admit that I was angry when I heard that they were cutting down so many trees just so the darn SPACE SHUTTLE can drive thru the streets.

The NASA app has video of the move in its video section.

I see that the Star Wars fans are strong supporters. Any Cylons?

No Cylons. But what a world it would be if when our bodies betray us, we could download into a new chassis like they do.

Was it in "Star Wars" in which there were jars of brains talking to one another at a meeting, without any bodies?

That was the original Star Trek episode; "The Gamesters of Triskelion".

Yes, that was my first reaction. I wonder why they dismissed the idea of disassembly of the shuttle to allow it to pass.

A couple of Concordes were disassembled so that they could be delivered to museums by road.

That may possibly had more to do with the length of Concorde as opposed to it's wingspan. Concorde is 204' in length, while the Space Shuttle is 122' long. Disassembly of a Concorde would also have been much easier, not being covered in a layer of heat shield tiles.
