Like them. The fact that you very casually dismissed both bands as everyone else does suggests clearly that you are a closet hipster just as everyone else is. There is nothing quite as pathetic as a closet hipster...at least a hipster is honest about his delusions

Disney is destroying Star Wars...

12/1/15 9:35pm

Jar Jar already destroyed Star Wars

12/1/15 9:37pm

George Lucas did it first.

12/1/15 9:38pm

No way...there is so much Star Wars crap for sale now, that it is almost comical

12/1/15 9:41pm

Lucas built his films around merchandising from ESB on

Bro, every one since ROTJ has been this way.

I was 4 in 1983 as well...there is no way it compares to what Disney is doing

12/1/15 9:43pm

By comparison, yes it was. It was also pre Internet

I don't buy it. The reach that Disney has today dwarfs any corporate enterprise

12/1/15 10:01pm

So I'm guessing you never saw Revenge of the Jedi?

Coldplay always sucked, just like hatb(f). Star wars has always been big.

If you saw either of those bands in a club w/ 50 people before they got big, you

If I were a hipster, you're right, I would think that. But I'm not a hipster.

You know what the most hipster thing to do is? Hate on hipsters.

Cougarrrs

12/1/15 10:02pm

Exactly...which is what you did. You are clearly a closet hipster. Like the

Lucas started ruining it in 1997. Finished the job w/the prequels

Fast and Furious 8, MI6, countless superhero movies......i doubt the public gets

All credibility lost just for thinking Hootie & the Blowfish were EVER any good

It doesn't take a hipster to recognize that Hootie & the Blowfish sucked from

I've never been a huge Star Wars fan. All this publicity is kind of pulling me

Exclusivity has always been desireable...ever more so now, with the Internet....

12/1/15 10:10pm

What do you propose they do? Make a new Star Wars on the down low? Only show it

12/1/15 10:21pm

No...I guess I am making a commentary about the all or nothing commercial

12/1/15 10:28pm

I see what you're saying, but business is business. Of course they'll do all

12/1/15 10:41pm

Disco clubs to be precise!

greatbam

12/2/15 1:15am

Yeah...Star Wars was never that.

fredgarvin

12/1/15 10:21pm

Exactly. The original (a new hope) was the box office record holder for 5 yrs

Cougarrrs

12/1/15 10:25pm

Adjusted for inflation, it's the third-biggest movie ever.

fredgarvin

12/1/15 10:37pm

Star Wars was cultish for about 3 weeks in 1977.

There's never been a better time to be a Star Wars fan than now.

I predict you'll be burned out in a year or 2.

12/1/15 10:34pm

I've been a Star Wars fan for 34 years, I don't plan on stopping

Have a Pabst Blue Ribbon to drown out that commercialization

12/1/15 10:36pm

The first wise comment of the evening...there is little that a tall glass of

You mean when it was like this?

grosven

Coldplay and Hootie were never good or cool.

Backcountry

12/2/15 12:30am

Star Wars has never been cultish and strangely cool. Always been mainstream

LifeLongLakerFan

I suggest googling star wars and toyetic. Star wars has a long merchandising

hootie went away because fairweather johnson sucked.

I'm guessing you weren't around in late seventies or early eighties.

you lost me when you compared Star Wars to Hootie and the Blowfish

TheDeek

So when I had a ESB lunchbox in 2nd grade, I was cool and cultish?

Hoodie and Coldplay are terrible and always have been. Terrible comparison
