People who really should know better keep trying to tell me I'm actually a SW fan.
I think there's also the problem of people who are -- perhaps not fans but connoisseurs -- who turn up their noses at the new stuff. I'm not ragingly fannish about the original, pre-edited trilogy, but they're head and shoulders better than what is in print now.
I come by my snobbery honestly. I also prefer the original, "mistaken" ending of
Kiss Me Deadly,
in which it is implied that the world is destroyed by a nuclear weapon. (The same glowing suitcase that Quentin Tarantino borrowed for
Pulp Fiction.
) They found the intended ending (far less apocalyptic) many years later in a jar someplace, but it's just not as good as the one we already have.
I think ita brought up an important issue. Is there a name for hardcore Star Wars fans?
I got no problem with Star Wars on TV as long as Lucas isn't very involved. It could be good, it could suck hard, only time will tell.
Are y'all MOCKING me?
Well, ok.
Damn the typos, full speed ahead.

Bantha Fodder? Nerf Herders?
Are y'all MOCKING me?
Probably just me. And now that I'm thinking about mocking Erin, I'm thinking about the time you sat on a knife. And well, it still amuses me.
Problem?
Problem that our needs are not being met.
I mean, we cannot de-age Harrison Ford, much as he'd like to, but we should be allowed to kick George Lucas in the butt until he releases nice, sharp DVDs of the not-monkeyed-with originals. VHS is just too fragile.

You get the car, I'll bring the steel-toed boots.

Bite me, buddy.
(And yo, it amuses everyone. Even me.)
