I hate Star Wars, but more than Star Wars, I hate it’s fans. They are like the Yankee Fans of geekdom. Like fucking wow, you memorized some trivia about some campy sci-fi movie, get a life. But what always urked me the most is that they would always try to prove how much more superior Star Wars is compared to Star Trek.
Let me just say this, I am a Star Trek fan, but I know that to compare the two is ridiculous because one is a generation spanning film and television franchise, and the other is just 6 silly Muppet movies.
The biggest gripe I have with the fans is their complete devotion to that hack of a film maker George Lucas. They swear up and down about Lucas having the story for nine movies and how it’s some big epic series. Well If you really believe that, you have to be an idiot (did you see Empire Strikes Back?).
Here is a story that made my fucking LIFE.
Turns out George wrote a letter to Damon Lindelof (co-creator of LOST) that basically congratulates them for a job well done.
Congratulations on pulling off an amazing show. Don’t tell anyone … but when ‘Star Wars’ first came out, I didn’t know where it was going either. The trick is to pretend you’ve planned the whole thing out in advance. Throw in some father issues and references to other stories — let’s call them homages — and you’ve got a series.
In six seasons, you’ve managed to span both time and space, and I don’t think I’m alone in saying that I never saw what was around the corner. Now that it’s all coming to an end, it’s impressive to see how much was planned out in advance and how neatly you’ve wrapped up everything. You’ve created something really special. I’m sad that the series is ending, but I look forward to seeing what you two are going to do next.
