Then I guess I’m a ‘70s kid.

I'm getting a thinly veiled sense that; Star Wars no likey?
First and foremost I never seen any of the Star Wars movies until 1997 with the rereleases “special editions”. So, I was not brainwashed like the majority of society was back in the late ‘70s. I liked the movies they were fun and I have the original trilogy on DVD. But I never saw it as the greatest thing ever put on film like some Star Wars fans make it seem. My full on hatred for Star Wars was when Disney got their hands on the brand. Disney’s a whole another story. I grew up with Looney Toons, Tom & Jerry, and other cartoon reruns from the 1940s-1960s.
Disney just consistently keeps shoving Star Wars down our throats. Yearly releases of movies, changing the parks to a Star Wars theme, cartoons, merchandising out of the wahzoo. F*ck, I can’t watch ABC News without them mentioning Star Wars/Disney, can’t watch a Marvel movie without Peter’s “ remember that movie...” The one that really pushed me over the edge was that damn Dodge/Force Awakens commercial. The only reasons I even watched the last trilogy was because they were on Netflix. I felt like a certain character from clockwork orange watching them.
So on my behalf F**k Star Wars and F**K Disney even more!
If Disney does end up running the planet, I’ll be the Edgar Friendly leading the revolution.
