Episode VII (spoilers)

[Drich]

People who complain that there are plot holes in Star Wars movies are like people who can't get into professional wrestling because it's "not real."  They complain that strawberry candy doesn't taste of the strawberries they enjoyed when they were kids 100 years ago, or that nobody appreciates real licorice any more, or that Christmas sucks and isn't Jesus' birthday anyway.  In short, ya'll motherfuckers are just old and sad, and you want to think that only the things you enjoyed when you still had a pulse were worth experiencing.

If you want to know if Star Wars is a great movie, ask my son.  He's 5 years old and he spends about 8 hours a day practicing his lightsaber skills on his selectable red-or-blue lightsaber he got for Christmas, because lightsabers are fucking cool.  When his mom takes his lightsaber away, he terrorizes the dogs with his Stormtrooper doll, because Stormtroopers are cool.  When he rides his bike, he makes "pew pew" shooting noises as he defends the universe, because space fighters are cool.  He gets it.

And you guys do, too, because here we are 12 pages in, and you sooooo want to talk about it. . . doncha?

we didn't have licenses lightsabers growing up, but we did have Blue green and red spray pain and surveyor's stakes (One inch square stake) we use to beat each other bloody with. We knew would could not cut each other's limbs off with these stakes but it did not stop us from trying! Elephant ears and banana trees though were a completely different story. a lot of sith banana trees fell in our neighborhood right after RotJ!
