Welp, I didn’t think I would, but I watched this whole thing. It’s silly. It’s terrific. It’s full of crappy lighting, bad acting, crap animation, beautiful animation, CG, babies, Legos, sock puppets, stop motion puppets, action figures, cardboard cutouts, people with buckets on their heads, dogs wrapped in tin foil and ferrets. It’s the mixed-media hit of the season! I laughed a lot. I might have misted up when the cardboard Biggs went up in flames.

If you don’t think you’ve got the time, skip to your favorite scenes. For the hurried, I’d say jump somewhere in the last twenty minutes. Stay on target.

Georgie Lucas produces something..

Lucas has been talking about making this for decades and now it’s finally here. I, for one, am looking forward to it. Let ILM and Skywalker Sound take their shoot-em-up dogfight expertise and apply it to P-51 Mustangs in a story with heart and drama and courage instead of robots and bullshit. O, my heart thumps thinking of the awesome WWII battle sequences! Fingers crossed!

I’m not a video game person, but I certainly wasted a lot of my youth on Star Wars, so I was curious about some new fancy game that was being premiered(?) at this week’s E3 super video game thingy-do in LA and I found a clip online.

Don’t even click on it. I’ll spare you. You can guess. Made-for-Nintendo Han Solo wannabe. Scary Sith. Sexy Sith. Lightsaber fight in a hanger. Droid parts scattering all over the deck. Explosions. And yes, it wouldn’t be spoon-fed warmed-over Star Wars leftovers without the requisite dexterous and meaningless placebo thrills of a consequenceless chase through the asteroid field.

This crap is groansomely tired. Is there room for nothing new in the Star Wars universe? Or will it continue to be a cannibalizing of the same five least-bad ideas George Lucas scrawled on a yellow legal pad in 1975? 

How about a story? About a character who matters? Not only to the gee-whiz world he’s in, but to us. If Star Wars has any resonance at all, it’s Luke looking off into the binary sunset of Tatooine, facing the big scary world and becoming a man and all that Campbell stuff. And DON’T show ANOTHER character looking off into the same blasted sunset. COME UP WITH A NEW IDEA.
