"In order to get a good seat for the 'Snakes on a Plane' revival meeting, aka the New Line Cinema presentation, I have to sit through an hour-long commercial for upcoming 'Star Wars' products. That’s the boring part. The not-boring part is the Q&A. That’s when the 'Star Wars' fans can vent their frustrations at the official Lucas spokesperson. Everyone’s got beef about something. And I realize at this moment that it has always been this way. “Star Wars” people use 'Star Wars' as a springboard for dealing with life. So when they’re frustrated with their jobs they complain about the quality of the print transfer onto the new 'Empire Strikes Back' DVD release and fight over giant promotional buttons that say 'Han shoots first!'
Reading this, even I am picturing chubby guys with goatees and nasally voices holding Jar-Jar action figures, stomping his left foot repeatedly and saying, "What about my needs?!" If this is the same mental image that the public gets... yeah, we're doomed.
There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.
