In the meantime I will be occasionally appearing at the Humor Blogger Fantasy Football League.
I'll be back. I promise.

"And now this story told,
from days of our old
-when gossamer doggies
ran round
They patiently wait
with pieces of eight
so everybody could smile
one more time."

A Long Time Ago On An Armchair Far, Far Away ...
Predator Press [LOBO]
Like any other Star Wars fan, I have been "chasing the dragon" for another good movie since The Empire Strikes Back. And in anticipation of my next "fix," I find myself occasionally tracking news on the next film.
Plot rumors aside I know Disney purchased the franchise, and this move has come with mixed reviews from die hard fans. But I'm fine with that personally. Disney is a class act. And if you dig into Disney's food chain deep enough, you'll find Quentin Tarantino; Disney is perfectly capable of delivering a darker vehicle than the fluff we have been getting for decades.
I have also confirmed the production company Bad Robot -whose resume includes little-known projects such as Cloverfield and Lost- is onboard. Toss in J.J. Abrams, and I am growing cautiously optimistic. And as a recovering Star Wars-oholic on my 9th step ("Making Amends"), I have George Lucas on speed dial.
But as for my next injection of the saga, I'm not exactly tying the rubber strap to my upper arm just yet. The problem with the series evolution as it stands, in my opinion, is centered around a failure in character development, and -perhaps even moreover- casting. The serendipitous and captivating personalities developed by Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, et cetera, have given way to unwarranted celebrity cameos. If you recall, even the beloved and cantankerous Millennium Falcon had a personality ... but everyone since that original cast might as well be wearing "good guy" and "bad guy" nametags. We need more character complexity and nuance; no one has been particularly memorable -at least not in a good way. Perhaps this is an unwanted byproduct of playing against a blue screen instead of using actual sets.And speaking of that, I also want the original "feel," back. It's too polished now, sort of devolving into a CGI special effects catalog. It was better when the universe of Star Wars seemed like a rental apartment -the Matrix-esque gloss is inescapable. I like that the ships and droids looked all banged up. People looked tired and well-worn. It was a used, "lived in" universe, simultaneously textured with haggard decline and rebirth in random patches. Like real life.
Ironically, technology seems to have made Star Wars lose its soul.
