How I feel about Star Wars

So I've been sort of brooding on this latest Star Wars episode...not so much on the movie itself, which I'm seeing tomorrow, but more on everything surrounding it, and I finally sort of snapped, albeit via IM, yesterday. So I guess, as excited as I am about seeing it, this IM conversation gives away how I feel.

Smashley says:
so im hearing star wars iii is good. do you want to see it at some point?

Travis Holmes says:
i do, but i don't want to want to...nomesayin?

Smashley says:
oh yeahwurd

Travis Holmes says:
i'm tired of seeing darth vadar in M&M's commercials or sitting atop Burger King franchises in inflated form.

Smashley says:
for real yo

Travis Holmes says:
i'm tired of the myriad goddamn mass marketing bullshit....it's like taking a childhood fairy tale and commercially buttfucking it

Smashley says:
totally dude

Travis Holmes says:
even tho i know the same was done when we were kids....

Travis Holmes says:
it just seems colder now...more sinister...more of the dark side

Smashley says:
it was yes

Smashley says:
lol

Travis Holmes says:
and you can make fun all you want, but it meant a lot to me as a kid, so there

Smashley says:
and why wouldnt it. it is the epitome of cowboys and indians in psace

Smashley says:
space

Travis Holmes says:
no, it is NOT cowboys and indians in space

Smashley says:
yes it is!

Travis Holmes says:
the indians were clearly on this land first, it was stolen, the whole conflict between cowboys and indians is bullshit.

Travis Holmes says:
star wars is about a fight between good and evil, the shades of gray that lure characters in between them, and the fight for freedom.

Smashley says:
oh ok

Smashley says:
i really dont remember it much

Travis Holmes says:
dammit...now looks what you've done

Travis Holmes says:
you're made me talk like...like that

Smashley says:
you're all upset!
