As promised, my new weekly column is up today at Film Threat. Because I'm sure you have nothing better to do, feel free to go take a look at the first installment of The Star Wars Report.
It’s little scary how far inside the head of a battered wife you were able to get. My read is that this is not only a durn good SW article, but also a cry for help.
If The Wife is at it again, we’re here for you.
Every right-thinking guy wants to be Han Solo when he grows up, Pete. Han gets the chicks!

If The Wife is at it again, we’re here for you.
Kidding aside (and anyone who knows me personally is already aware of this), my ability to get “inside the head” of a battered spouse has nothing to do with personal experience and everything to do with my intense love of the Lifetime Movie Network.
As for The Wife, the idea for fleshing out the Abused SW Fan concept actually came from comments she made following Attack of the Clones. Her remarks are often what spur me to write about a certain topic, which is something I should probably point out more often.
Only someone on Film Threat could make the AICN
Jedi Council appear as REAL fans of the saga. I
use “real” in the context of sports. There are
people who like the Patriots, then their are the
real fans like them no matter what. Leaving people
like you who claim to be fans, but really only like
two movies of a saga.
If that makes you a fan, then you are one half-assed
fan. Now turn in your DARTH VADAR LIVES button, and
please leave quietly.
So “fan” is synonymous with “clueless meathead unable to discern between quality entertainment and mindless CGI crapola disguised as epic storytelling?”
In that case you’re right: the guys at AICN are true “fans.”
Um, “Vadar”? I thought real fans knew how to spell the characters’ names.
“DARTH VIDOR LIVES”
Um, “Vadar”? I thought real fans knew how to spell the characters’ names.
I did it first, in reference to this:
No relation to the Valar, I assume.
Good choice on Star Wars fiction. I’ve read the ones you mentioned and a couple of others. Some of the short story collections are interesting if not great.
So the sixth film will be the one when the wife has had enough and buys a gun?
Whee, I’ve been name referenced in an article about Star Wars! I always knew my loathing of that franchise would bring me fame and fortune. Now I have to work on the ‘fortune’ part.
