Han Solo dies in new Star Wars movie?

[Bruce Esquibel]

Wow, did not see that coming.

Oh my God! They killed Kenny.



Actually I don't know jack shit about the new Star Wars movie but have
decided it's past the saturation point for publicity.

I have to admit, I've seen the first 3 movies (the ones made in the 70's and
80's) several times and spent hundreds of dollars for box and "collector
sets", which oddly are about as collectable as bleeding hemmoroids photos.

When the 4th movie came out I only saw it once (I remember seeing Sarlo
there) and never went to see, or watched at home the other two after that.

The 4th movie stunk and there is no convincing me otherwise. It ruined the
franchise and for all practical matters, the first 3 are the only real Star
Wars movies ever made.

Thus as public notice if anyone asks if "We should go check out the new
one", the following criteria must be met:

1) you provide transportation to and from the theater. I'm not going to
fight for a parking spot with morons in storm trooper helmuts driving a
Prius.

2) you pay for the ticket and ANY snacks I want, including that $15 tray of
nachos, if I so desire.

3) you promise to wake me up when it's over so the ushers don't try to shake
me down to buy another ticket for the next showing.

That is all.

The last movie I saw at a theatre was Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ"
at Webster and the morons left the lights on for the first 15 minutes
during the dark garden of Gesethemane scene. Assholes.

The opening scene in the first Star Wars movie was simply awesome and even
though that kind of depiction of outer space was done in 1968 by Stanley
Kubrick, Kubick's film was geared more for the thinking person which is
why you had to read the book to figure out what that movie was all about.

Star Wars was the incubator for what we see in Apple fanbois today.
It was for the popcorn lazy thinking crowd who bought a lot of
plastic crap made in China. Even though Empire Strikes Back was a better
written story, subsequent Star Wars fell flat relying on ever increasing
special effects. Star Wars paved the way for the modern movie in which
stories didn't matter, things blowing up and flying through the air
in impossible ways matter.

Star Wars pioneered the dumbing down of all movies.
Anyone who sits like a potted plant
to watch commercial after commercial before a movie is nothing more
than a brainless pod person. It insults those who have intelligence
to pay $10+ for the privilege to be treated like a brainless moron.

I'm going to laugh my ass off when there is disappointment like when
Lucas introduced Jar Jar something in the 1st part of the second trilogy.
In 6-8 months I'll rent it on Netflix.

Seeing Star Wars in 1978 or whenever is one of those vague memories
from middle school I actually remember. I didn't buy any of the stuff.
I don't think I saw the Empire Strikes Back until I was in college.
Totally missed the yoda thing ... that was about the same time as ET,
right?

I'm pretty sure what's going to happen next is the Star Wars franchise
will merge with the Smurfs.

Harrison Ford almost committed Kami-Kazzi over by the Santa Monica Airport some months ago. Lucky that the City has a Golf Course to cushion the wrecks of Howard Hughes wannabees.
