That's like saying you're glad because you didn't grow up in the 70's when the Rolling Stones were doing "Paint it Black", "Brown Sugar" and slew of classics. Or Aerosmith's "Dream On". Yes those bands are still recording and some of them are decent songs. But times have changed, music has changed, and they have changed and its not the same. Rock was breathing through the country and was a vehicle for political and socially turbulent times. Hip-hop dominates now along with pre-packaged pop, choreographed dance steps, and lots of bling-bling. Star Wars had a deeper meaning then one you'll never fully grasp if you didn't live in that era. It wasn't a high-grossing moive like phantom or spiderman...it wasn't just big among fanboys...it was big among ALL boys and the country embraced it. Sorry, you don't get why grown men still want those action figures. Irrational maybe, but it was one of the best things of our childhood like "mother's little helper" or "back in the saddle". If you don't know those songs I am sure Nelly and britney will do a pop remake soon.
