Why I love Star Wars...

I love Star Wars. Not just enjoy it, not just feel like it was a fun little movie, but LOVE IT.

It's like, it's my home honestly. Back in 97 I lived in star wars universe through VHS for HOURS. I mean I've watched a lot of movies as a kid in this house, but NEVER did I expect to come across this fucking master piece. and Honestly yeah star wars is a masterpiece. It's how movies should be made, tight editing, brilliant music, excellent casting, hell of a good story. That's why it became a huge massive world wide phenomenon, it was brilliant.

Now they're bringing it back. I'm 29 now. All this stuff is happening so fucking fast. Disney wants to capitlize heavily on their investment in star wars, maybe to their own fault. Rushing star wars out is not a good business model. You don't RUSH star wars. You don't Mcdonalds star wars. It's supposed to be a 5 course fucking meal. It's supposed to be deeper than your typical throw away blockbuster.

It's why Indy 4 was such a huge shit on the franchise.

I sit here and yeah the force awakens looks phenomenal, sure, but um, I sat and watched them murder indiana jones with the same exact smiles and hugs all around attitude.

So not to try to deflate everyone's optimism, but they failed to bring Indy back. Running around thinking Force Awakens is already a huge success like Abrams and Co are doing is a very bad idea...

Will the Force Awakens be good is the real question. Hell I mean they're really hinging this thing on if people flock to see the old cast return. The real question is if people will give a shit about the new cast at all. It's like nobody will go see Creed because of Michael B Jordan. Nobody watched a Wizards game MJ played in because they wanted to see what the other guys were doing.. see what I'm sayin?

It's funny. JJ's pimping the new characters like we give a damn about them. No I don't. I want to see Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia. Don't know who Finn is and don't give a damn. Rey, Poe Dameron, all of them can eat a dick. I want the original cast. And everybody else does too. It's like I watch the panel from comic con and nobody gives a shit about the new guys at all. It's all about the fact that Hamill and co are returning which is all anyone truly cares about.

We'll see, man we'll see. I mean, it's got to be a solid fucking movie, really does. I'm not asking for some sort of super genius shit, but nothing insulting is all, and have fun with it. It's star wars, it's so flexible a series. It's just awkward to make sense of what kind of flick this will be. It looks like a really fucking big budget fan film sadly.

I know, I know, it's wrong to put it down like that, it's being made with care and passion for the originals and that should easily solidify it alonside them, but it also has to be so much more than a big giant cock sucking of the original trilogy... it has to live and breathe on its own...

I don't know. I'm scared honestly I don't want JJ and Disney to bite off way too much and then show up short here and have egg all over their face. This movie has to be a damn good revival of star wars right up in front of our fucking faces, that's what it's got to be.

Why do I love star wars is the question. Why does it mean so much to me. Why? It's just silly fantasy movie for kids. Well, artistically it's the most simple yet somehow complex movie I've ever seen. There's no prequel bullshit in ANH. It's so subtle and leaves a lot to the imagination. That I did indeed try to fill in as a kid. What did Luke look like shooting wamp rats. It's said but we never see him do it, and for some reason I sat and day dreamed about Luke out in the desert shooting little wamp rats. I think that's what made star wars awesome, it left so much shit to your imagination....

Will JJ acknowledge this and leave shit out and not explain the tiniest detail of everything? I hope so...

Star wars was great to me because yeah, you could dream about the meaning behind the story forever. Not so with the prequels sadly. It's all just laid out in your face as plain as paper... Star wars to some extent actually took nods from the bible. When you read that stuff it's like yeah you can't possibly explain it it's just something you have to believe in...And that was the point of ANH's story. It was about believing in the force vs technology. And the force wins as luke learns to trust it and let go of tech...

JJ better use the force and let go of tech. we'll see. It's a scary thing for him and he could fail, he very well could. I'd hate it if this movie came out and was just about as good as your every day EU bullshit. Sadly that's the problem. There's no fucking thing else to do in  the star wars universe. I don't get this movie... Not that I don't want them to bring it on and attempt to bring star wars back but yeah, star wars ended, wtf is going on in this one? It's essentially Back to the Future Part 4 being made right the fuck now...
