May The Fourth Be With You, Always...

... or at least for today anyway. Happy Star Wars day!

Star Wars: Breaking Tradition...

     With (unofficial) Star Wars month just around the corner, I've begun to delve back into the series I love so much. From what I understand, production on Episode VII begins next month, and the Star Wars website has released a cast list. Sure, I'm excited about this: I'm happy to see that they've got so many of the original cast back along with such fantastic actors like Andy Serkis and Max von Sydow. In fact, neither the cast or the director that's got me grumbling... it's the release date. From what I've read, it's December 18th, 2015.

Order 66 for LucasArts...

     So, I had a bad day at work, then I come home to this:

Disney Shuts Down LucasArts, Cancels 
Star Wars 1313 And Star Wars: First Assault

Don't worry, George. We're gonna' do all we can to continue ruining Star Wars for everyone!

The Star Wars Debacle

     As of today, Lucasfilm is owned by Disney. I truly don't know what to make of that. On the one hand, Star Wars is out of George's hands, which means we may get a break from all the terrible things he has continued to do to the original trilogy. On the other hand, what's to stop Disney from making those same mistakes? And they're planning to make 7, 8, and 9? With who? Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford are ancient! Are they planning to re-cast their characters with younger actors?

Logic can't repel fanboyism of that magnitude!

     I don't know what to make of this. Disneyworld may very well be burned down by hordes of angry fans if things go bad... and I would probably be one of them. Just look at what you've done, George. I hope you're ashamed of yourself...

The End of a Celebration...

     And so "Star Wars Week" comes to a close... and what a fun week it was. A Star Wars movie every night for the past six nights has been great. It could have only been better if George hadn't botched the prequels and ruined the originals with his incessant meddling...

It's Star Wars Week, My Fellow Jedi...

     It's (unofficial) Star Wars week! May 19th through the 25th is the week in which all the Star Wars movies were released. This has been somewhat of a tradition for me for the past few years, and I hope to keep it going for the rest of my geeky life. I celebrate by watching all six movies over the course of the week, one per day. Yes, this means I watch the prequels too, as bad as they may be. The first few days are especially rough...

     Join me, and together we can enjoy the greatness that is Star Wars! Happy Star Wars week everyone!

May The Fourth Be With You...

     Happy May 4th, everybody. Be sure to watch your favorite Star Wars film, listen to some of the fantastic music, or play one of your favorite games. And may the Force be with you, always.

Star Wars: No, George, Just... Just Stop...

     Recently, George Lucas has said that he is going to retire from the movie making business. For me, this is good news. Every time he changes something in the original trilogy I cringe, thinking, "What nonsense has he added this time?" However, George is blaming us, the fans, for crushing his dreams of making more Star Wars films, saying, "Why would I make any more when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?" He blames us. No, George; don't go blaming your fans. As much as I admire the man who created the greatest Science Fiction franchise in history, he has no one to blame but himself. My main point: He didn't make bad movies, he made them bad.

You have failed me, George... For the last time...
