Is anyone else totally apathetic regarding the new Star Wars movies?

I’ve been thinking about this…
Now that R1 is over, I dunno that I’ll be back in a theater watching a Star Wars movie again. I have zero interest in any of the other announced spin-offs or in a sequel to TFA.
But that’s ok. I’ve still got my trilogy and, thanks to R1, I’ve got a neat little prequel story. Thanks to Harmy & Co. I can watch the ones I love in HD. Thanks to Adywan & Co. I can watch cool updated versions of the ones I love. I’m good with that.
It’s a great time to be a Star Wars fan.

The Wind Waker HD should be arriving any day now. I never got to play much of it on the GC, so I’m excited to finally play what seems to be a great game.
It’ll also be the last of the major LOZ titles for me to play through before BotW’s release.

The Wind Waker was really good. Wasn’t it released in HD years ago though?

Yeah, 2013. I’m just getting to it.

My birthday is tomorrow. It’s been a very mixed year. Some good things (graduated from Barber school and passed the state board exams), but mostly bad times. I’m looking forward to moving on, but doing so without my best friend is tough and sad. We were more than brothers, less than lovers. He was ripped from life suddenly and without warning. I miss him terribly. I’ve also had to make some tough decisions lately. ‘No win’ type situations and I’m hoping I’ve made the best choices. Time will tell.
I was going to say more, but if I take much more time, I’ll have to post it in the drunk thread, so I’ll end with

Happy birthday, Ray. I’m sorry about your losses and your difficult decisions. Here’s hoping your decisions were the best they could be, and that you have a better year to come. I won’t be very knowledgeable about beer or anything, but I’ll very intelligently drink a cup of Ovaltine in your honor tomorrow, contemplating the finer qualities of its vitamin-rich content and wishing you a very special day across space.

Thanks, Ender! Cheers!

I love to hate listening to people who think they know all about alcohol just because they’ve tried some expensive stuff (they’re usually bashing “cheap” stuff). I also love their faces when they find out they are talking to someone who studies these things and that it’s obvious that they don’t have a clue what they’re talking about.
But why do people do this? I experience it mostly with beer and liquor, but it happens with just about any subject. Why pretend like you know about something you don’t know about? It only makes you look silly.

The concept must at least exist, as Luke mentions it.

                              *THREEPIO
                     Is there anything I might do to help?

           Luke glances at the battered robot. A bit of his anger drains 
           and a tiny smile creeps across his face.

                                 LUKE
                     Well, not unless you can alter time, 
                     speed up the harvest, or teleport me 
                     off this rock!*

I’ve always taken that as proof that those things don’t exist in the SW galaxy. Luke said it jokingly, knowing it was impossible. The concept of those things exists, but in a sci-fi/fantasy way. That’s my reading/canon anyway.
