Bringing fun back was the thing for me too—is it derivative? Sure. Do I care one little bit? Nope. The joy I got taking my 9-year-old and watching him cheer from literally the edge of his seat was incredible. Reminded me of my 9-year-old self at the theater for ANH the very first time. THAT is what Star Wars is…

I blame it all on not being able to get those damn power converters. That would have changed everything.

Yeah, not sure where anyone has that idea from.

Maybe a WALL-E crossover? …"The mall planet! It was Earth the whole time!"

According to my facebook feed the Rouge One trailer is out, though it looks a whole lot like this one.

Hell, I remember the old school hype—the ads in every paper about how Return of the Jedi had been the number one movie for like, 38 consecutive weeks (can you imagine?)

Does anyone really care about those idiots anymore?

"Oh God here come more happy people excited about something stupid" ::eyeroll:: (goes back to smoking clove cigarettes and listening to old Husker Du vinyl)

Plus they could have added more Ewoks! Everyone wants to know Wicket's origin? ….right? ….right?

I think the young Han Solo movie is scheduled for 2018 already too. I can do one Star Wars a year…less exhausting than a new superhero movie every three months anyway.

It's really hard to believe it was cheaper to do that—I'm kind of assuming it wasn't and somehow Lucas thought it would look better. Sheesh.

I like the ones who say they've never seen a Star Wars movie and won't start with this one. Those guys seem like they'd be fun to hang out with.

Maybe he was captured by a cult and forced to live in a cave? That's my only guess.

I also have a stick up my butt.

I might have peed a little.

And perhaps a nice balloon.

I'd LOVE to see a real version of Running Man. That book practically reads like a mini-series anyway, and it's themes are probably more relevant now than they were when it was published. While there's some cringeworthy amatuer chunks of the book of it as a whole it's one hell of a story.

God's Not Dead 2: Re-Goddening

Strangely I can't tell if this is a compliment or an insult.

NORM!
