Star Wars Conclusion Draws Record Number of Nerds
It’s been nearly 30 years since George Lucas gave us Star Wars and you’d be hard-pressed to find anything more popular. You know you hit the big-time when you have your own cereal comprised of cornmeal shapes and dehydrated marshmallows. And if you don’t think it’s just a marketing gimmick, take a quarter and scratch the box. You will find it easily peals off underneath and you’re left with a box of Lucky Charms from the seventies.
Think about those marshmallow shapes. Is that really C-3PO? Doesn’t it look remarkably similar to a yellow moon? How about Jabba the Hut? I think it bares a pretty strong resemblance to a green clover. And that big hairy thing is not Chewbacca. In fact, that’s not even supposed to be in there.
Have you heard about these crazy lines at the theater to see this thing? Did you know that some people have quit their jobs to wait in these lines? It’s so irresponsible. Who’s going to help me access my email now?
Now some of you will say that I don’t understand. That being there on opening night with your fellow Star Wars fans, all dressed up is part of the culture of this whole thing. It’s being there for a historical moment. I understand that. I understand that it’s looney tunes.
But I’m not going to judge you wackos. Have fun with it, because allegedly it’s your last chance. No more Star Wars after this…or so says George Lucas. But I don’t believe it. HOGWASH! You know why? I’ll give you a hint: $$$$$$$.
When people are making billions of dollars and the fan base remains large, you will get sequel after sequel, and cereal after cereal. So don’t cry for this one. My bet is it will be back in some shape and form. Peeps gots ta have their blingy bling.
I am going to see it tomorrow morning at 10 am with a few friends. But I’m being real normal about it. What’s that you say?...No, it’s not a light saber…it’s more like a cane…I have bad arches. What’s that? No-no, the helmet keeps my head warm. No I havn’t been waiting in line for two days….it’s more like one and a half….and Huh? What am I eating? Ummm…it’s Lucky Charms of course.
