fangasmicSo. Um. You guys might have noticed that I like, have strong feelings about Star Wars. And now, TomTom, on the day after the most important High Holy day of Star Wars geeks, May 4th (if you don't know why, GO KILL YOURSELF, you probably only liked the prequels, PHILISTINE), they have made it so that I can have Darth Vader, C3P0, Yoda, or Han fucking Solo giving me directions while I drive. Do you know what I would actually do if Han Solo was giving me directions in a car? That's right: I would follow them to a fucking T. If that involved driving into a tree or off of a bridge, SO BE IT.
I'm pretty sure the universe spat this out at me this morning in an effort to dim the pain that is flaring through my soul at the news that Lucasfilm and JibJab have partnered to do a retelling of Star Wars. On the one hand, I loved JibJab when it became the bleeding edge of political satire during the first Kerry and Bush dogfight 1000 years ago. On the other hand, why the fuck is Lucasfilm intent on taking the corpus of the one I loved and BEATING IT TO DEATH ALL OVER AGAIN?
