I remember hearing about this show at C3 and think, how little I cared, and that was when I was a fan of star wars, to the point of even linking the PT. (not nearly as much as the OT, but I liked them ok.) Now, I just don't care about any of it at all.
between what they did with the cartoon, the comics, and the books, in the last 7 years or so, it has just gone way to dark for my personal taste. For those that love those things, great more power to you. Really I'm glad that there are still fans out there. I just find for me, that first the the darkness put me off the new books, cartoons, etc, and then it just kind of turned me against stat wars all together. For me it's all just too....... I don't know.
Plus, I'm just sick of seeing it everywhere. Most shows you watch from Comedies, to dramas, and every where in between bring Star wars up at some point. Same goes with movies. And toys, and games (board and video both) Books, comic books, aps, etc. And I'm not talking about just the licensed Star Wars merchandize, I'm talking about how it is referenced in all of these areas by other franchises. I sware I get a gag reflex every time I here Star Wars at this point. Yes, there was a TON of stuff out when I was a kid, but we got a breather in the late 80's early 90's. This time we have not got a breather in over 17 years. And what is there to look forward too. Crummy 3D re-releases, or re-releases, of re-releases, with one, or two miner changes. A series, that is destine to suck, and a bad cartoon that wont die. For the love of all that is entertaining, I wish that this franchise would die for a wile. You can't miss something that is never gone. It's just the same old stuff, over, and over, and over again.
And GL, k nows, he doesn't even have to try any more. Just slap that logo on anything, and make another few million.
Please, oh, please Mr. Lucas, hang it up for a good long wile, maybe for ever. Make way for something new.
for over 35 years, there has been nothing that blew folks minds the way the first star wars did. Ok, that's great, but it's also history. That lighting wont strike again, for GL, or anyone else. Let it go. Do something else, with one fixating on the past. These characters are old, tired, and played out, and the new ones, just feel like rip offs of the old ones.
Ok, Ok, no-one asked for my thoughts as usualy, and as usually my post will either be completely ignored, or I'll get a rant about how I'm wrong, even though all I have done is express my personal feelings, and I think I know my personally feels better then anyone else would, I'm sure there will be some jerk that thinks they can tell me what I feel. (because that is the kind of Jacka$$ery that goes on around here these days.
)
There is no point at all in this post, just like there isn't one in this thread. So just move along, I post this for me, and me alone, because I need to, and if you don't like it, don't read it. :lol And this is all just my way of saying I wont watch this show if it ever does happen. That a rootcanal sounds like more fun to me, personally.
Oh, and if you really want something that entertains you, and tells a story you like. RIGHT YOUR OWN STORY. Don't expect for a second that anyone else will like it, but do it for you, and love every minute of it, and if anyone says they hate it, just tell them to right a story they like, and kiss your a$$.
