Jar Jar already destroyed Star Wars

George Lucas did it first.

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

Lucas built his films around merchandising from ESB on

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

OhYePoorFools

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

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.

I don't believe it...there are some bands that are good but it is uncool to

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

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

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

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

OhYePoorFools

12/1/15 10:10pm

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

Disco LaFleur

12/1/15 10:21pm

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

OhYePoorFools

12/1/15 10:28pm

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

Disco LaFleur

Disco clubs to be precise!

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.

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

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

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.

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