5 thoughts on “The Death Of Star Wars”

1. Popular entertainment so far as the far left is concerned is simply a tool used to promote their propaganda agenda. Whether it’s star trek/Star Wars /Doctor who etc it makes no difference to them. They don’t even care about money/profit/ratings; they don’t care about anything other than advancing their social agenda of programming people to think the “correct” way. If it gets canceled because of low ratings low profit no problem; just move on to the next franchise ruin that one as well.

2. I’ve always considered Star Wars more space opera than science fiction, though a couple of those films (Empire Strikes Back & Rogue One) are among my favorite movies of all time. That said, it would take a glowing review by The Critical Drinker to get me to watch anything else Disney pukes out into the Star Wars universe.

3. I always called all of this stuff “Star Crap,” to the annoyance of people who made their living writing it.

4. Back when it was Lucasfilms™ and not Disney, in the mid-winter of 1977, my experience of Ralph Bashki’s Wizards, was somewhat disturbed by this trailer preview of something called “Star Wars”. I was sold as soon as I saw the scene of a fireplug lookalike robot (but in silver and blue) getting clocked by an electric gun wielded by a cloaked figure with glowing eyes.

   In the late Spring of ’77 I was able to see this movie with my father at a cinema in Rochester MN. It was notable because I had to work hard to talk him into it, but I think when he was a kid he was a Buck Rodgers / Flash Gordon fan, because he thoroughly enjoyed this movie as did I. Solaris would have been a hard sell with him.

   The sequel was good (not better). The sequel’s sequel just ok, but borderline meh for me. The rest? Maybe except for Revenge of the Sith, largely forgettable (cause I have)…

   1. I should add Rogue One. I liked that one. I know because I remember it.
