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.

Bingo. I think I had a Chewbacca lunchbox back then, now it's mobile phones instead. If the marketing and merchandise put you off, you would have given up a week after the opening of A New Hope.
I forgive Lucas for his crimes.

Ah, Howard the Duck, I love that film...
...what?....

I read that as "lack of force"...
