I tried to write out a long and complicated fan theory, but I wound up disagreeing with myself. Whoops.

What was it?

Long story very, very short;

The Force Awakens is a sort of meta-commentary on the franchise as a whole. Rey is all the young, new fans who were introduced to SW by TFA, Maz Kanata is a levelheaded fan whose been around a while, Kylo is a crazy fanboy, Han is George Lucas, Luke is Star Wars itself.

Haha Kylo Ren is a pissy TFN type. Or wait, if Han is Lucas, then Kylo Ren is… us?

Pfft. You’d never catch me using a crossguard lightsaber. It’s two standard lightsabers* for me all the way.

*One with a crimson blade, the other a teal blade.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say you aren’t us, at least in many of your complaints about things.

Also, not really the same but reminded me of this: http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/off-the-clock-space-opera-millennials-and-their-gr/1100-5371/

No, Kylo Ren is the generic whining Star Wars fanboy. That doesn’t apply to most of us.

Nope, Ren is fun to watch.

Reminds of that Simpsons Halloween episode where they send a rocketship of America’s worst celebrities into the sun.

JJ Abrams has a penis for a nose.
Nobody seems to have noticed, but everyone I’ve informed sees it every time now.
You’re welcome.

Now I can finally compare JJ to Dan Aykroyd’s character in Nothing but Trouble.

This is the very definition of greedy.

Hilarious.

I just had a pretty nice encounter with a Walmart employee ho wasn’t a fan of TFA. I mentioned TFA during a conversation about another film and we had a brief conversation about retreading. I thanked the guy for helping me, told him I hope VIII is more to his liking and went about my business. No opinions were changed as it was a short conversation but it was nice to have a conversation with someone without any or that overarching internet shit ruining the experience.

And don’t talk about me like this!

Don’t talk about Possessed like that!

Well maybe if Possessed kept his mouth and all other orifices shut I wouldn’t be speaking about him in such a manner.

You have said some “interesting” things on here but you haven’t surpassed the childish jackassary of some TFA haters I have encountered on the internet.

Ok sorry I will try harder.

Just don’t go looking for his Facebook page, or you might find his retelling of the story of your conversation through animated GIFs and other memes, and the feeling will be ruined.

Youtube comment sections somehow happen to be even worse. A lot of that has to do with there being 13 year olds and entitled man children being abundant in the comment section but it’s still staggering at how pompous, childish and misinformed (and occasionally dishonest) some of these people are.

My birthday is coming soon, but I’ll be traveling for work, so my wife threw me a little party today. There was a subtle theme to the celebration 😉

The balloons

The cake (baked with a vintage 70’s cake pan no less)

The gift
