Star Wars To Air As Animated Sitcom

The Bastard writes "As if the Star Wars Holiday Special and Jar-Jar weren't insulting enough to fans, George Lucas has decided to turn the franchise into an animated sitcom. I have a bad feeling about this." The article says that Seth Green is involved, which either sets off your late April Fool's Day alarm, immeasurable dread, or excitement.

    George Lucas has a fetish for butt plugs made out of bank rolls. He's a large man with insatiable, carnal appetites and a cavernous rectum, so the more bank rolls the better. He's squealing all the way to the bank.

    Good men die every day. And yet Lucas keeps on living and living. If there is a god, he's not even *trying* to be fair.

    If it's bad enough, I'm sure they'll add it in retrotemporicontinuitively. The time line can only take so much abuse without modifying itself to make fun of something that horrid.

    Never has the donotwant tag ever been more appropriate. Not only do we not actually want this, Star Wars is the origin of the phrase.

    I'm not sure if this is "ironic" or "inevitable".
