However, unfortunately, from something popular comes the possibility of many problems, and this was no different with Star Wars. Actually, it was much worse. Fans became obsessed: they recited quotes, acted out scenes, dressed up like the characters, named their children after the characters (C-3PO Johnson?). And what proceeded was the sickest and lowest form of cult following in the history of the world (love the Mel Brooks movie!).

So, why then is George Lucas here? It’s not his fault his fans are geeks who need a reality check. Ay, but George Lucas did make too many critical errors. First, he smacked the Star Wars logo on just about everything: books, Frisbees, trading cards, action figures, condoms, anything you can imagine, and his fans fell hook, line, and sinker (though I’m sure none of his fans use the condoms). Then, not happy enough with his first trilogy to plague mankind, Lucas came up with the spectacular idea for his prequel trilogy, and people cannot deny that he did it just for fun (it’s all for money).

But, alas, we can laugh back in Lucas’ face. The Phantom Menace, episode 1, was a critical meltdown, and now The Attack of the Clones, episode 2, has been nominated for seven Razzies (for the worst films of the year). So, everyone shall raise their glass and honor George Lucas for his failures and for his true accolade, the inaugural Lifetime Achievement inductee in THE HALL OF CRAP SANDWICH!
