Remember when we used to get excited about Star Wars? We would cheerfully tell each other May the Fourth Be With You on May 4th? No? Me neither...I'm trying to, and yet I keep on thinking about all the horrible, unwatchable garbage that has been shoved down my throat, and when I go to say "May the Fourth Be With You", the words get stuck in my throat. So here are my less- than-enthusiastic thoughts on Star Wars Day, 2026. #hollywood #scifi #film

Back in the old days, popular culture was owned by nobody. It was a
common store of material that anybody could draw on for their own
creations. Nowadays it is created by corporations who not only
manufacture myths and tropes that live inside our heads, but make us
pay for the privilege. And they jealously guard their rCLintellectual propertyrCY, strictly clamping down on any kind of rCLfanartrCY that they
think might impinge on their business model.

That part of your brain is owned by them, not by you.

Star Wars hasn't been the same since George Lucas sold it to Disney

George Lucas' own ideas for the sequel trilogy weren't much better than
the Disney garbage we got.

With the Politically Correct idiot Kathleen Kennedy partly-gone from Lucasfilm, "Star Wars" might come back, but it's likely too late now
because the damage has already been done. :-(

Disney's deal with the BBC also hastened the destruction of "Doctor
Who", although the BBC's own Political Correctness idiocy had already
started flushing that franchise down the toilet.
