Which I celebrated by finally beating Jedi Ourcast on Jedi Knight difficulty without cheats. Didn't plan to finish it on Star Wars day, just a happy coincidence.

I'll just be over here enjoying the movies just fine.
Even the prequels. They're good for memes. -

I do like the Star Wars movies, even the prequels to some degree. My point about the hype is that the reputation of Star Wars has grown so big that they can't live up to it. George Lucas's sf-western-kung-fu-wuxia-samurai-experiment-in-myth-making is not really the same as the Star Wars of modern legend. I think that's why the prequels aren't so well liked.

Yeah, the prequels suffered from fan expectations big-time. by

But at least we got great music, some wicked fight scenes, and a really fun LEGO video game out of them. Oh, and that Weird Al song.

Yeah, about the fights... by

On one hand they look awesome at first glance, and I sure think about them that way (Duel of Fates certainly didn't spoil anything). On the other, I saw some critics actually going through them in slow motion to analyze them... Results are people actually not trying to hit each other during the fight with their exagerated moves, leading to an excessively involved choregraphy, and not an actual fight. The LEGO video game is an undeniable strong point though.
(Fun (maybe) fact: the critic who made the video where I saw that said he would critic the prelogy without saying bad things about Jar Jar... And he actually ending up praising him as one of the only actors actually trying to play seriously their character.) -

That goes with my theory that the prequel trilogy are to some degree cheesy kung-fu movies.

Yeah! I got up to a little hijinks with friends today... by

...which was basically asking all my friends the following question:
Which is better, a lightsaber or a light spear? (For the latter, I was using the small, weird continuum of Lichtspeer for a reference, and not how a "light spear" would appear in the actual Star Wars continuum.)
It inspired some interesting debates among friends who were in close proximity to one another. They talked about different situations, combat advantages, the physics of lightsabers and other stuff, and it was overall a good time.
Definitely makes up for the fact that I forgot to wear any Star Wars merch.

Less than a month to go until Solo comes out! I've not paid too much attention to the marketing (I'm going to see it anyway, so what's the point); how do people think it looks?

Looks like a pretty typical antihero heist film set in the Star Wars 'verse, but I'm gonna see it anyway, too. Here's hoping it'll be better than I think it will.
