What Makes A "Real" Star Wars Fan?

I dont own a single piece of Star Wars paraphernalia. Not a tshirt. Not a poster (though that may change). Not a coffee mug. Nothing. But the original 3 films stand out as 3 of the greatest movies ever made to me.

I’m with ya. My collection is a receipt showing that I bought the Bluray set and a figure of C-3PO that lives in my utility/junk drawer.

Krampus 2015
Director Michael Dougherty’s previous film, 2007’s Trick r Treat, is one of my absolute favorite films, so I’ve been looking forward to checking this one out. I was unable to catch it in theaters last year and have been saving it for the holiday season. Tonight was finally the night!
Well, I hated it. All of it. Some good bits of creepy atmosphere, but the characters reactions to everything that happens are either nonsensical or just stupid. Nobody reacts to anything in a way a real person would. The point the film tries to make is undone constantly and the film can’t follow it’s own logic.
When I sat down to watch this, I had no doubt that I would at least enjoy it. I’m beyond disappointed.

I’d love it if they didn’t draw over them. To me, the CGI animals in the franchise are usually so over the top that they become a distraction. Not every animal has to be a statement. It’s ok to just have an animal. The way a lot of people feel like an actual camel would distract from the moment, I feel the same way about some goof animal with six legs and each of its eyes on a stalk.

I agree very much.
