The Star Wars Holiday Special: My World in Flops

On the AVClub, while talking about the fucking Star Wars Holiday Special, Nathan Rabin writes:

Besides, are fuzzy-wuzzy sentient teddy bears or a silly-talking frog-man really that much more ridiculous than an effeminate robot and his bleep-bloop-dispensing sidekick doing a Laurel-and-Hardy-in-space routine, or a wrinkly, diminutive, backwards-talking green guru dispensing sage advice and ass-whippings in equal measure? Yet R2-D2, C-3PO, and Yoda are treasured fixtures of the Star Wars universe, while Jar Jar Binks and the Ewoks are considered juvenile embarrassments.

Which may be the best paragraph about Star Wars fandom ever.

Like Star Wars, I cannot say that I am a fan of Indiana Jones. I have seen them all, but they are not movies I go out of my way to see. I will go see the new Indiana movie at some point next week, just like i saw the Star Wars prequels.

But really, who the fuck does Lucas think he is? The only reason I even give a tiny shit about Indiana Jones is Harrison Ford. And there is no one i hate more than LeBeouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuf. No matter what Lucas things LeBeouf != Ford and LeBeouf != Indiana Jones.

No one wanted it [Star Wars: Clone Wars]," he told me. "Every studio rejected it, including Fox, and I'm very loyal to them.

You know why? it sucked on Cartoon Network, and it is going to suck in the theater. The Jig is up Lucas. You are out of goodwill. Take your big ball of money and boring ideas and go home. The sci-fi genre has grown and changed since you helped make it 30 years ago. You keep making the same tired story and the fact that you are a hack becomes more clear.
