Don't mean to be negative, but I honestly HATE Star Wars. Stupid hodge-podge of hi-tech stuff and pseudo-religious mumbo-jumbo, with no apparent rationale for holding them together. All this talk of some mystical 'force', all in the midst of futuristic high-tech stuff? Gimme a break. And heck, if I had advanced technology at my disposal, why would I be so dumb as to settle for a close-quarter melee weapon like a lightsaber? The whole Star Wars saga strikes me as full of such irrationalities. It just doesn't feel believable and convincing, even granting that it's supposed to be fantasy. (And you're supposed to take it all seriously, too!) Can never understand how dear uncle Lucas could ever have come up with this sort of stuff and how so many people could go bonkers over it.

I actually have precious little against all this Star Wars stuff so long as I don't have to run into it well nigh every moment of my waking life. Unfortunately, this is becoming an impossibility. It honestly gets on my nerves how I can hardly turn a corner in any shop or on any street without being further assaulted by Star Wars ads or music. Even when I just want to order a pizza by phone, I hear the stupid SW theme music on the phone, too. Please, is there no way I can get away from this madness?
