For example, you can see the best 30 clips made by fans to celebrate this anniversary. The BBC is chronicling the journey of one man who had never seen Star Wars before.

    Who cares. Star Wars was great back in the day, Lucas ruined the Legacy, get over it. The same is happening to the Terminator, but at least you can't blame Cameron, as he has nothing to do with the ruining. Lucas on the other hand can eat dicks in hell.

    Star Wars sucks. It's just a bunch of over-hyped action-fantasy Hollywood stuff for a bunch of guys with no life whatsoever beyond living and breathing Star Wars and probably comic books.

    Especially when you look at the recently made ones, it becomes obvous that it's a more of a corporation at this point than any sort of genuine creative work, the sole aim of which is to sell as much worthless collectible crap; movie tickets; "special, limited edition box-set dvd's with 25 hours of commentary, special features, deleted scenes and other pointless shit you'll never even watch, but provides a big shiny package they can charge $75 for" to people who collect said items.

    Get a life. Jeez.
