J.J. Abrams is my favorite director of all time. I love Revolution and the new Star Trek. But watching the guys (and gals) on the Jedi Council Forums it is madness. You have the J.J. Bashers which are going and attacking his work. You have the EU haters which are going crazy and saying that this will mean the EU is dead and they can celebrate (type in "J.J. Abrams" and "EU" into to Google to understand that). And the EU fans who sit almost silently as the whole commotion is going on.
Also another thing is that now there is a new Star Wars coming out, the franchise is "popular" again and is getting alot of press. Not that it is a bad thing but if I hear another cheesy Star Wars joke on the news again I am going to scream. I mean you have reporters who have only watched the movie once cracking jokes that are not funny and are really annoying. You can crack a Star Wars joke AFTER you read the some of the EU. Star Wars is one of the most misunderstood series out there. Name one major reporter who can tell you the difference between a clone trooper and a Stormtrooper.
In other news we have a new Darth Maul book coming and it is just probably going to yet another let down. Recent Star Wars works have been covered with Darth Maul (go to the Star Wars aisle at Toys R Us to get what I am saying) TCW, toy, and now a book... Wow. I am really saddened by this, taking an awesome character and making him boring. Shame. Shame.
One more nail to Darth Maul's (most recent) coffin is that this is probably going to be Darth Maul on a killing spree in a prison (oh did I mention it is a prison book (you got to know Maul got in for drunk driving).
There is my anger for the week see you next time and enjoy the lenses flare.
