I like Star Wars. I wouldn’t say I’m a Star Wars fan, but it’s among the stuff I like. And sometimes I feel embarrassed by that, what with Episodes 1-3 being so wholly execrable, and Lucas “re-imagining” the originals into the ground, and generally just taking a giant shit all over the franchise because he doesn’t understand that the originals were good in spite of him, they were good because the other people working on the projects told him when his writing and ideas were shitty and forced him to rewrite until they were good, instead of just saying “Yes that’s awesome Mr. Lucas, whatever you say Mr. Lucas!”
Anyway, that went a bit ranty, but my point is: Sometimes I’m embarrassed about liking Star Wars. But then I watch something like this, and I say “Fuck yes, I like Star Wars.”
