Why George Lucas Ruined Star Wars

Dec 09, 2008 02:56

I think I have finally figured out why George Lucas seems determined to ruin the Star Wars franchise. He went to a convention and saw all the people wearing the costumes and worshiping at his altar. That was when he decided he had to save us from ourselves by destroying that which had our souls bound in adulation.

George, we didn't need saving. We were having fun until you brought us Jar Jar Binks and turned Darth Vader into a whiny bitch. You neglected to consider the special power we geeks have over our very minds. We can pretend that Nightmare on Elm Street 2 never happened, ignore Hignlander 2 altogether, put our fingers in our ears and cover our eyes when Superman rips a cellophane S off his chest. We can certainly ignore anything you can throw at us.

Bring it on.

The only other option is that he had a lot of help with American Graffiti and Star Wars and that he has actually sucked balls his whole life, but was given power after his successes so that he was able to fly solo. I honestly hope that Star Wars was just a fluke and that he could never have done better, but somehow that doubtful part of me can see him setting the franchise to self-destruct on purpose. So sad.
