I have tried several times to ween my addiction. I have acted like it doesn't matter. I have even said things that, in some countries, would get me arrested. I have denied it. I have embraced it. But alas the cock crows for the final time. I love Star Wars! I watched Star Wars, the Legacy Revealed. I am sorry George Lucas, you are the best storyteller...Ever...(Take that Mother Goose). (I still don't think you should have directed the Prequels but wow I guess it is your right.) I have two wonderful step children and my only regret is I didn't get to name them. I would have somehow, someway put in a Star Wars reference. "Hi, this is my daughter Jennifer Chewbacca Smith and my son "Robert Obi-Wan Deathstar Coruscant Smith... uh the third" As I said... very subtle. As it stands, my dog is named Luke Skywalker and when I go jogging, I hum the Imperial March... actually when I am awake, I hum that song... either that or Tiffany's " I think were alone now" ...uh but I think of Princess Leia in Jabba's palace...(mmmm... metal bikini...) I am grown up and I am who I am because of Star Wars. As a matter of fact, we are all affected by Star Wars...Go ahead... think of your favorite movie.... Hear that theme song resonating? Yeah, that is Skywalker sound. Think of any high budget special effects movie made in the last 25 years...Now look at the credits... Industrial Light and Magic? Anyone? How about THX sound? How about the muppets? I am not sure if they came first or Star Wars, but dare a boy to dream. Yes, and that boy is George Lucas. This must be what love feels like. Warm like a lightsaber, juicy like Jabba licking his huge grotesque lips, proper like C-3PO and suave like Lando. It has been a great 30 years. AREtwo |
