Star Wars...A Never Ending Grinding Sensation To My Nerves...

I'm a fan of Star Wars. Let's make no mistake about that. I'm not the guy who dresses up at premieres and duels with plastic light sabers, I don't collect all the figures, dreaming of the day that I find a rare, mispackaged one, and I certainly don't read all the extended universe stuff. I have read a book or two and enjoyed the plot the games weaved through the Universe, but there's a big, big problem.

George Lucas loves his fans. He does. At least from what I can see. Futurama can use the sound effects as much as they like, as well as Robot Chicken and Family Guy; he also lets the Extended Universe become cannon, which is a big mistake. What's wrong with fans being allowed to craft more of what they love? Let me explain the only way I can...

Would you like to see this scene turned into a butt fucking orgy and became cannon?

Fanboys cannot let the things they love die. It's become my opinion that no characters die in the Star Wars Universe. And the ridiculous plots that come from saving already dead characters becomes maddening. The most popular is Boba Fett. Somehow, despite his rocket pack getting fucked up by Luke, to the point where he can't fly straight, Boba Fett flys out of the mouth of the Sarlac Pit.

Even after Lucas RetConned what it looked like.

I can understand why people did this...to an extent. Boba Fett was underdeveloped in the trilogy, but he seemed capable of doing more. He's a bounty hunter. He should have been cooler. What other shit has he done?!?

Besides this.

As far as the original is concerned, maybe. It might be possible. Unlikely, but possible. What doesn't make any sense however, is why people thought they could bring back Darth Maul.

Produced by Terry Glaser and Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld.

Seriously?!? This is just...ridiculous! He was cut in half, fell down a vent, dragged himself to a cave and made spider legs for himself...and this is cannon now! Here's a synopsis from the web site I linked to:

"However, Maul managed to survive his defeat at the hands of Kenobi. Through his hate and will to live, as well as his hatred against Kenobi, he reached out with the Force and grabbed an air vent. He escaped to Lotho Minor in order to escape Sidious' anger for his failure. Maul acquired a six-legged arachnid-like cybernetic apparatus to replace his lost lower body, and stayed in the caves of the planet."

Why can't he be dead?!? I wanted to see more of him too, like Boba Fett he was under developed, but like this?!? Fuck no! When Yoda busted out the light saber in Episode 2, I was excited. It was a little silly, but it made sense. And it was done with style if not dignity. This? What the fuck is this? I couldn't give less of a flying fuck how this guy wields a light saber.

All I have to say is this...

Before you blame Lucas for fucking up his own creation (which he has, don't get me wrong) look to yourselves first.
