Today is May the Fourth – the Unofficial, but widely assumed “Star Wars Day”!
I am proud to say that EVERY single Star Wars movie and TV show released is in my DVD collection. I even have a VHS bootleg of the embarassing Star Wars Holiday Special that George Lucas will deny ever existed. Yes, even the Ewok TV Movies, Ewok and Droids animated series and the Clone Wars shorts and subsequent Animated series.
I have read all the novels. Collected the comics and had an armada of action figures to this day I regret getting rid of, but NEVER regret playing with until I lost all their tiny plastic guns and lightsabers.
I have been itching for a live action TV series, and despite my passion, I don’t think it matters that Han didn’t shoot first. I actually enjoy the special editions, and I do feel they are an improvement (visually)
Hell, I don’t even really mind the Medichlorians and I think we were meant to hate JarJar. He was easy to manipulate, and while we were pointing our fingers at this easy target, we almost didn’t notice Annakin slaughtering Jedi children with a lightsabre.
I love the vast and imaginative spanning galaxies of adventure that Lucas has given us, and the positive so greatly outweighs the bad (which I won’t deny exists).
So yes, this scruffy nerf herder Loves Star Wars, the good and the bad.
Unapologetically.
There are no flaws in Star Wars… from a certain point of view.
Happy Star Wars Day!
