Granted, with a heavy heart, but I was resigned to watching the newest attempt at willfully urinating in the face of all 25+ the world over.
Until this afternoon.
When I saw Chewbacca in an advert for Orange Mobile.
If I had any doubt whatsoever for Lucas' reasons for making the new films, it evaporated in a cloud of money-flavoured smoke at that moment.
Lucas, you're guaranteed millions of dollars from this new one, to add to your pile from the other two.
And the toys/videogames/stickers/sweets/dvds/board games/bed clothes.
You've whittered on and on about why you made these films, but underneath (the same as you've always done) is a lust for cash. If I was in any doubt as to your personality from reading Peter Biskind's "Easy Riders, Raging Bull", it was confirmed the moment I watched this commercial.
Chewbacca being used to sell me a mobile phone.
Nope, sorry Bullfrog, but this is one ex-SW fan drawing the line in the sand.
And you can poke your 6-DVD special edition up your plaid ass.
I'll not smile, bend over and scooch my ginger diamond open so you can slip your fatnecked dollarbundle up there anymore.
Well I guess it's just him who's missing out.
But I agree with monkey man, TV info moves into your head without you necessarily having to watch it. The other day someone told me that Karl and Susan might be getting back together. Having not seen it for years, somehow I knew they were talking about Neighbours.
Besides, some TV is good. Sitting watching whatever comes on is not. And I'll probably go see Star Wars at some point...

Nope I don't. But that doesn't mean I'm not walking through the room or having a chat with somebody who is. Usually involves me standing there saying "Want a cuppa?" and then leaving.

I saw Clones at 00:05 on the day it was released - earliest they could do it then apparently. Funny with all the geeks (including me) laughing at the terrible dialogue and acting.

Good.
But not that good.
3-4 out of 5... So definately worth seeing, but don't expect anything groundbreaking.
