music and passion were always the fashion
So I was watching STAR WARS (I know), and it occurred to me that the concluding prequels might have actually been better had Lucas cast some actual Lego people in the various parts. Or, failing that, if the Lego people had been allowed to write the scripts and direct the movies themselves. It is difficult to imagine how Lego people could've fucked up worse. As many, many, many other fans have noted at length, non-stop, and for approximately the last ten years, that was some bad, sad, delirious, lightsaber-induced crap. That was wrong. That was your momma. That is what happens when Tolkien fails to live up to fanboy expectations and produce enough material to ensure a lifetime of extremely lucrative plagiarism. If he had only written another populist novel, instead of wasting the rest of his life on Elves!
However. However, if Obi-Wan Kenobi had been played by a Lego man instead of Ewan McGregor, I would've missed out on this:
The first image is from Episode I - Is Liam Neeson Like 12 Feet Tall Or What? And So Fine! And So Easily Killed :[, and the second is from Epsiode II - How Obi-Wan Douched It Up For Everybody By Failing To Drown His Retarded Padawan In The Bathtub When He Had The Chance.
I know that hair sometimes changes color with age, but it seldom dyes itself a lovely golden blond color, and almost never wraps itself around a hot curling iron and then hairsprays itself into such lovely, lovely, elegant, sophisticated, girlish, lovely waves.
Which begs the question: Do you think? That Obi-Wan? Might've been using the Force?? TO STYLE HIS HAIR????
I have to tell you that would not only make me transcendently, inhumanly, euphorically happy for the rest of my natural lifespan, it would carry me a considerable distance into the afterlife as well.
Maybe all Jedi get makeovers once they achieve knighthood. Qui-Gon was also sort of whoosh.
(To be fair, I don't actually remember Kenobi-san's hair looking at all like this in the movie, but SHUT UP. HARD. NOW.)
ETA: Once I looked at the finished post, I realized that not only had Obi-Wan achieved critical hair-design mass across what was meant to be the better part of a decade, he had also aged backwards, and shinily. Which is even more impressive. So maybe I shouldn't mock him. I may need that someday.
