Happy Star Wars Day!

Ah, May 4th, every Star Wars geek's favorite day, Happy Star Wars Day to all of my readers!  Wait, what?  You don't know what Star Wars Day is?  May 4th is the official unofficial day, get it?  May fourth...May the fourth...shit if I have to explain it stop reading right now and go throw yourself in front of the USS Enterprise.  May the Fourth Be With You!

I have to confess, despite it being a cool day to celebrate and the fact that I will wear Star Wars t-shirts and tell everyone May the Fourth Be With You, I don't subscribe to May 4th as the official Star Wars Day and it's simple, Episode IV was released on May 25, 1977.  This little graphic explains it all...

Simple mathematics my friends.  It all adds up and makes perfect sense, feel free to watch it again or the Maker forbid watch A New Hope for the first time.  It's all there.  Speaking of May 25, there is a major anniversary coming up, this May 25 will be the 30th anniversary of Return of the Jedi.  Thirty fracking years ago, I watched this movie on the big screen at a drive in.  Happy early anniversary Episode VI!

So how are you celebrating Star Wars Day?  Are you going to be drinking Blue Milk or Tatooine Sunrises?  Perhaps you are going to watch all six movies in consecutive order or maybe you want to try the Machete Experiment and watch them in a fucked up order where you skip Episode I.  Maybe you are going to go low key and just wear a simple t-shirt (which is what I'm doing for part of the day as I'm working) or you're going to go full blown costume as a Jedi or Stormtrooper.  However you are celebrating just make sure you do one thing tomorrow....

Piss off a Trekkie.

P.S. I have nothing against Star Trek, I enjoy it as well...all of the spin offs and the crappy movies.

Day 11: Happy Life Day!

What do you mean you don't know what Life Day is?  You call yourself a Star Wars fan?  OK, OK, there was some confusion back in 1978 when The Star Wars Holiday Special was aired on November 17, people thought Life Day was referring to our Thanksgiving when in fact George Lucas was ahead of his time again.  Lucas came out and told everyone that the Holiday Special is a Christmas Special and it seems that George was one of the first to bump Christmas up a month, who knew?

As promised I was going to do a complete 25 Days blog post about the Star Wars Holiday Special.  I've touched base on it before, once HERE before people actually started reading my blog and once HERE just a few days ago.  The Star Wars Holiday Special is a steaming pile of rancor poo-doo and this is coming from someone who is "gay for Star Wars".  In fact, George Lucas was quoted as saying "I would be happy if every copy could be tracked down and burned."  This is why you cannot and will not find an official copy of the Holiday Special.

I happen to be lucky gay for Star Wars enough to have a bootlegged copy, complete with the commercials from 1978 and yes, I have watched it several times.  The Holiday Special is set right after Episode IV and Han Solo is helping Chewbacca get to his home planet Kashyyyk to see his family for Life Day.  Life Day is the equivalent to Christmas but on Kashyyyk and celebrated by hairy Wookies.  Naturally Han and Chewie find trouble with the Empire and are chased through the whole special by a Star Destroyer, Luke and Leia join the party of course and try to make sure Han and Luke arrive on Kasyyyk safely.

Still a hottie!

You have all the classic Star Wars characters in it like Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Han, Luke, Leia, Threepio and Artoo.  On top of that, you get a chance to see Bea Arthur as a bartender of a Tattooine cantina.  She is hassled by a patrol of Stormtroopers and tries to get her patrons to leave without any luck until she breaks out into a song number.  Have you ever heard Bea Arthur sing?  I'd leave the bar too!  Art Carney is a trader who lives on Kashyykk and is friends with Chewbacca's family, he's a goofball.  You are treated to a wonderful holographic show (also known as Wookie porn) with Dishann Carroll and none other than Jefferson Starship!  On top of this *ahem* star studded cast, you get to meet Chewbacca's family, let me introduce them to you.

Meet Attichituck or Itchy for short.  This is Chewbacca's father and a great Wookie Chieftain.  He obviously aged horribly since we saw him in Episode III. 

 Here's Lumpawaroo or Lumpy as he's referred to in the Special.  This is Chewbacca's son.  You could say that Lumpy is the Jar Jar Binks of the Holiday Special.

And finally there's Mallatobuck or Malla, Chewbacca's wife.  Now we see where Lumpy got his dashing looks from.  If she wasn't a Wookie or hairy or eight feet tall, I'd hit it.

All in all, it's no wonder Lucas has treated this like a bastard redheaded step child, it sucks and sucks bad.  He tried to make it true to Star Wars as possible while kowtowing to the general public but that just didn't work.  There is one shining star amongst a sea of complete darkness with this, we meet Boba Fett for the first time in an animated short.  Despite the animation sucking almost as bad as the Special itself, you get to see Boba Fett in his glory and already hunting Han and Chewbacca which makes us believe that Vader had already hired him prior to Episode V.

For your visual pleasure I have found some pictures from the episode...

It looks like it could be good....

Oh I didn't tell you?  Leia breaks out in song too!

Awwwwww....

Sums it up nicely.

 And in case you wanted to get a feel for the Holiday Special, here is a clip of it.

Now he's trying to shave The Trophy's pussy...

Day 7: Trim This!

Everyone who celebrates Christmas has a Christmas tree, some have more than one and some whackadoodles have one for every room in their house.  The Trophy and I went to Christmas party last year where the host had a Christmas tree in every room of the down stairs of her house.  There was one in the kitchen, one in the dining room, one in the living room...well you get the picture.  Each one was decorated with the utmost care and of course they don't have kids, each one was picture perfect.

And this was their bathroom!

We on the other hand have one tree, the same tree we have had for almost six years now.  It was pre-lit to make it easier to decorate but of course the lights shit the bed so now we have to string lights on the pre-lit tree.  It is a fake tree.  There I said it, it's fake.  When The Trophy and I first got married we had a real tree then we decided that we should invest in a fake tree so that we weren't spending $60 on a spider infested fire hazard each year.  Through out the years we have gone through our fair share of fake trees but we have had this one now for a while.  One of the best things about a fake tree is we don't have to fluff it.

Here is our tree.

Granted when you first assemble the tree it looks like some sort of deranged character from the Lord of the Rings but then you straighten the branches out and fill in the holes.  We put decorations on the tree and The Trophy puts ribbon around it and puts the fiber optic angel on top (because nothing screams Christmas like fiber optics).  I have an issue with the angel though, it's loud.  I don't mean it's loud like you hear it talking to you after six or twelve eggnogs, I mean it's motorized and when you are sitting in the living room after the Minions go to bed it sounds like a helicopter is buzzing around the room.

We don't string popcorn and cranberries for the tree.  I don't grasp that concept, pop up a whole metric Santa's ass full of popcorn, thread a needle and sew the popcorn and berries together?  It sounds like a whole lot of work for something that will attract rodents and will rot off the string.  What kind of popcorn do you use anyway?  Do you hot air pop it or do you buy a bunch of microwave popcorn?  Kettle corn or Movie Theater butter?  I would think the Movie Theater butter would be best because it has it's own lubrication.

I was called out on Twitter the other night because someone thought I had a Star Wars Christmas tree...

Well, I maybe "gay for Star Wars" but I don't have a Star Wars Christmas tree....just a bunch of ornaments on it!

Jabba says Merry Christmas.  Yes, I'm sure he does.

Put Santa Claus in the cargo hold.

Tarunta gush!

A Merry Christmas I wish you.

The unsung hero of ALL the Star Wars movies.

Happy Life Day or Rwwarraggh!

Real or real not, there is no fake.

Makes the Santa run in less than 12 parsecs

I have had a hard time getting the bastard trapped and after defiling The Trophy's horse earlier in the season he has moved onto other farm animals.  Notice the second pig hiding amongst my mugs watching in horror.

Gonads is a pig fucker.

Day 2: Dear Santa...

I'm submitting this for Dude Write this week!

I'm submitting this post for Dude Write this week, if you enjoy Day 2, check out the rest of the Days I'm doing.  While you are checking things out, go to Dude Write and check out the awesome Dude bloggers.


I've stated it before but I am not a jolly ol' elf at all when it comes to Christmas, sure I have the build to be one, my belly shakes like a bowl full of jelly, my nose gets read when I drink and I am boisterous but far from jolly.  I'm just not a big fan of Christmas.


One thing we do here in the Thought household is write letters to Santa, well the Minions write the letters with their wishlists.  I got to thinking, why can't I write a letter to the old bastard and ask him for things too?

Dear Freakishly Close To Being A Pedophile Guy In The Red Suit,

I don't want to lie, I haven't been very good this year, but I figure if I start off by telling you the truth I could score some brownie points.  On second thought, maybe I shouldn't have started my letter with what I called you...

I have a question for you.  How can you stay fat all year long?  I gained thirteen pounds since summer and I feel like a bloated moose who hasn't shit in three days.  I hope you get some exercise in the off season, which by the way is complete bullshit that you work one night a year and get the other 364 days off.  What do you do in your off time?  I mean let's face it, you're not the one who actually makes the toys, so what do you really do?

Speaking of your help, I've been concerned about your elves, especially in this day and age with all the freakazoids out there, did you even CORI check all of them?  I know you usually have two or three flying around with you on your big drop off night and as a parent, I'm not sure I feel entirely comfortable with you busting down my chimney with three midget rapists in tow.  For all I know they could be working for a drug cartel and they traffic the drugs through innocent people's houses but I guess it's better than leaving them on the roof top to perform beastiality on Vixen and Blitzen, PETA would be pissed!  Have you seen the billboards they put up for Thanksgiving?

On the topic of your reindeer, how did you come up with the names?  They sound like stage names of day-shifters at the local strip club, except for Prancer.  Does he bat for the other team by any chance?  Not that there's anything wrong with that, but you might want to make him be up front if you catch my drift.

Well I've done enough small talk, let's get down to business, I have a small list of things I would like have arrive on Christmas morning or earlier if possible.  Remember, I control what the Minions give you for your snack upon breaking and entering into my house, so if you want to avoid the possibility of some Ex-Lax mixed in with the chocolate chips, you might want to prioritize my list.  I onlty have five items so it should be easy.

 1.  Moose mugs. Just like the ones in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, they would be cool to drink beer out of.

2.  An X-Box 360.  But not just a regular X-Box 360, the Star Wars edition of course.  I need a video game system where the most heroic character isn't a plumber.  I want to blow shit up!

3.  Episode VII not to suck.  I know Disney has more power than you, but can you maybe pull some strings and make it so it doesn't suck?

4.  To teach my Minions my secret power successfully.

 5.  I want my blog to go viral.  I know it's selfish but I figured if the Elf Woman* could do it and that snot nosed brat from Poland could do it, maybe you could push it through for me.

In closing, you may really want to look closely at these five items because you know that Elf on a Shelf that you sent us to spy on the Minions?  Ours needs to be replaced soon, the first night I caught the bastard drinking Jim Beam and last night, well let's just say lock up your reindeer and you better get me a new Elf and soon.

Yours in Holiday Spirit,

Kevin

I Find Your Lack Of Faith Disturbing

First, I know what you're saying, "you promised that you would read 50 Shades of Grey and give us a report on each chapter"...fuck that, this takes precedence as Star Wars should.  I've given up on reading that crappy book and the shitty sex scenes.  Besides the love story between Leia and Han is way better.

I can arrange that.

Anyway, it's been a couple of days now since the biggest geek bombshell of all time was dropped about Disney purchasing Lucasfilm, Ltd. (again, stab yourself in the scrotum if you don't know who or what Lucasfilm, Ltd is).  There has been a pouring of nerd Tweets, Status Updates and Blog Entries since the news broke on how Lucas sold his soul to frozen devil.  At first I was upset and pissed off that this could possibly happen too.  It felt like a childhood memory had been ripped out of my skull and sold on Ebay to the highest bidder with free shipping, but then I got to thinking in depth about this giant merger.

Being dubbed "gay for Star Wars" recently by fellow blogger Jenn at Something Clever 2.0 and asked by a few people to share my thoughts on the subject, I did a blog post about how I felt, you can read that right here.  Take your time, read it, it might surprise you.  Now I have some more thoughts on this (yes, I do eat sleep and breath Star Wars, get used to it).

It has been leaked out that Disney already has a plan to release Episodes VII, VIII and IX and some people think this is blasphemous.  So, not true, it is not blasphemous, in fact for as long as I can remember I had always heard that Lucas had nine episodes written when he originally wrote Star Wars, so this might have been in his grand scheme of things.

I love gold....

Now, of course with the news of Episode VII being released in 2015 (same year as The Avengers 2 might I add, Disney=$$$) the speculations have been thrown out like scrap droids in the Jawa's sandcrawler about what the movie's plot will be.  Some say it will take after the Expanded Universe books, some say it will use the comic book line and some have said it will the Thrawn trilogy (which would have been the best) but I read today that EOnline spoke with a source inside Lucasfilm who confirmed that George's outline was always and original story for VII, VIII and IX.

Now with that being said, in that same article it was mentioned that George Lucas confided in Mark Hamill during the shooting of Return of the Jedi that his thoughts were that a much older Luke would have a mentor role in those Episodes, much like Obi Wan Kenobi.  Do you know what this means?????

Mark Hamill will be employed again and no longer is known as Cock-Knocker!!!!

Don't fuck with a Jedi Master son.

This makes 100% perfect fucking Force choking sense!  After the destruction of the Empire and the supposed last Death Star, it is implied through various outlets that Luke starts the Jedi academy and Council back up in the Great Massassi temple the Rebellion used on Yavin IV.  I'm going to stop right there though, I have had this conversation with some other people and they brought up a semi-valid point, won't Mark Hamill be too old to do the role of Luke Skywalker again?

The knowledge of Yoda and the agility of Obi-Wan

Plain and simple...fuck no!  Was Harrison Ford too old to reprise his role as Indiana Jones in the last (albeit worst) Indiana Jones film?  No he wasn't, they played it off as timed passed.  Still not convinced?  OK, Luke and Leia were born at the end of Episode III and then we see them in Episode IV where roughly 18 years has passed in the galaxy.  Who says they can't have a 20 plus year gap in between Episodes VI and VIII where Luke has trained many Jedi and built the Order back up to being the defenders of peace in the Galaxy?

Actually a very good movie for Star Wars fans

So, to all the irate "fans" out there, chill the fuck out.  Most of you weren't even born yet when the Original (Holy) Trilogy was released.  You are the same ones who had an outcry when Episodes I, II and III were released but yet piled your money into the pockets of George Lucas.  You are also the same ones who got flustered when they did the animated Clone Wars movie and TV show, (which is in it's fifth and final season, coincidence?) yet, you watch it faithfully on your DVR.  You are all hypocrites.  Still need more proof?

Look what Disney did to The Avengers...they made it abso-fucking-lutly awesome!  Who didn't enjoy the new Muppet movie?  And name one REALLY crappy Pixar film...you can't.  Until Disney does something to really jeopardize the integrity of the Saga, I will believe that what they have in mind will be great.

I have held my ground with the defense of Jar Jar* so defending the purchase will be easy.
*Jar Jar is still the Wil Wheaton of the Star Wars movies.

This is my entry into Dude Write 21, the theme this week is biblical, seeing that I consider Star Wars to be the bible, I figured this would be a perfect post.  Click below, read all of the blogs and then come back on Monday/Tuesday and vote for your top three.

A Great Disturbance In The Force

Well, it looks like the Mayans were right after all.  We've been having freak weather, odd occurrences and now the unthinkable* has happened, Disney has bought Lucasfilm Ltd.  If you just asked yourself who or what Lucasfilm Ltd. is, go stab yourself in the larynx.

*It really wasn't unthinkable to most Star Wars geeks, it was more inevitable.

There was outrage and uprising via social media yesterday when reports went out the Disney bought Lucasfilm, Ltd. for $4.1 BILLION dollars.  George Lucas sold his soul to the devil with this deal and the devil's name is Walt.  In this deal Disney will also receive the gamin title LucasArts, Industrial Light and Magic and Skywalker Sound.  If you know your George Lucas, you will know that IL&M and Skywalker Sound are in 99.9% of the movies made today, so if you think that people are overreacting to this buy out, keep in mind that Disney just sunk its claws into your favorite film franchises too. 

I received many emails, texts, direct messages yesterday asking and demanding that I speak out on this because I am gay for Star Wars.  Well here you go.

George Lucas is brilliant.  Period.  Always has been and always will be.  Not only did Lucas make $4.1+ BILLION more dollars, he is still going to serve as the creative advisor for everything Star Wars related that Disney poops out.  Think about this for a second, everyone loved the Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, Thor and Captain America movies and even if you weren't a comic book nerd you thought The Avengers was the best superhero movie of all time.  Every one of those characters are in the Marvel Universe and guess what?  Disney owns Marvel too!

It is not so far fetched that Disney would have bought out Lucas, they already have a tie with their parks, toys and other merchandise.  I have a Darth Vader signed lightsaber from my sister-in-law's trip to Disney and the Minions have Disney character toys dressed as Star Wars characters.  Instead of sucking money from Disney a little at a time, George took out his big lightsaber and fucked Disney dry this time.  Everyone knew Lucas wanted to get out from under the Star Wars tag and this was his out, a very wealthy out. 

What's that you say?  There are plans for Episode VII?  You're damn right there are!  Ever since I was a young boy pretending to be Luke Skywalker in the 80's I have always heard the rumor that George Lucas had NINE films in mind when he wrote Star Wars.  What?  Come on, you never wondered why Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi were Episodes, IV, V and VI?  It wasn't a cute marketing ploy, it was because George had written a bigger, expanded Star Wars galaxy and thought those chapters were the better of the...gasp...nine. Then 1999 arrived and Episode I came out, starting us on the journey of what would eventually become Darth Vader.

Think about how many books have been written ABY (After the Battle of Yavin...and you call yourself a Star Wars geek?) and how many more have been written after Lando and Nien Nunb blew up the last Death Star.  Episodes VII, VIII and IX have already been written in that sense.  Lucas just didn't have the time to make these movies into reality and this was the best way to do it.

I know what you are thinking, I'm defending the mouse and the wonderful world of Disney, well no, I'm not.  I still despise Disney and I say screw the mouse and the ears he rode in on.  I still think Disney is a soul sucking company that will do anything to make a dollar, but unfortunately this is the best option for the Star Wars franchise.  With that being said I so have some concerns like all other Star Wars fans out there.

The one thing I worry about, seeing the ears in the movies.

1. I hope Disney doesn't go crazy with the commercialization of Star Wars...oh wait, never mind, that started in the 70's.
2. I hope Disney doesn't ruin the integrity of the films...oh, wait never mind, we have Fanboys who have already done that.
3. I hope Disney doesn't try to make a cute Mickey Mouse cartoon...like Henson did with the Muppet Babies...remember that?  Oh and the Muppets are owned by Disney too...

Quite honestly, everyone is pissed, not at Disney, but at Lucas, myself included.  Yes, I feel he sold out, yes I feel he sold his soul to the ear wearing devil and yes, I even feel he could have kept going with Star Wars IF he concentrated less on his other companies, but I can't fault him.  If someone came to me and said, "I will pay you $4 billion dollars for the rights to Who Woulda Thought?, but you get to remain as the creative advisor on all content.", damn skippy, hippie I would sell it.

That's no mouse...

In this day and age, especially in 2015 when Episode VII is supposed to be released, the movie is going to be off the chart, with the special effects, story lines already in place from the books and Lucas still having creative input on it.  The problem is, what will the do?  There are so many books after Jedi, where will they pick up?  Will they have Luke, Han and Leia in it?  Who will they use to play them?  Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher are too old now and in three years could be dead.  There are too many unanswered questions that we will have to wait for, in the meantime though here are some other points to ponder.

If Princess Leia becomes a Disney Princess, I hope she kicks all the other Princesses' asses, starting with Snow White, she was a whiny little bitch to begin with.

The baddest Princess of the bunch.

Maybe they will change Epcot to the Death Star and each evening instead of seeing fire works over the Magic Kingdom we can watch a laser fire from the Death Star and blow up Cinderella's Castle like Alderaan.

And the best thing that could come out of this, a full Star Wars theme park!  I'll let that sink in for a second or two....everything Star Wars, Star Wars all the time.  You can do the trench run, bulls eye womprats in your T-16, beat Han in the Kessel run by doing it in less than 11 parsecs.  The possibilities are endless with a Star Wars theme park, you can feel what it was like when Alderaan blew up, play Dejarik with R2-D2 and Chewbacca and even fight General Grievous.  Each planet can be a section of the park and you can visit Hoth, Mustafar, Dantooine and even Corellia.  Feel what it's like to be encased in carbonite, as long as you survive the freezing process.  It will be fantastic!

Isn't that what they did to Walt?

All in all, this will be a good thing.  Sure there are people out there who want to leave well enough alone, but then there are others who want and crave more.  Maybe, just maybe we can get a Boba Fett TV show?

At least replace Hayden...

Gay For Star Wars?

There are quiet a few things in the world that make me stop and say "Wait...what?"  In fact the world does not lack in the Wait...what? category.  I had two things last week that made me stop and say it.

The first one is something that I think will be really cool.  I was approached on my Facebook wall (yes, I still call it my wall and not timeline) by the ultra funny and quickly becoming famous Mod Mom Beyond IndieDom about this little project that I have seen floating in the blogosphere called Theme Thursday.  She said that they needed a Dad's point of view on the themes that come up for each Thursday and you know me, if it means building my blog, I'm all for it, I like new readers and commentators, plus it gives me a topic to go off on.  I sent an email off to Jenn at Something Clever 2.0 and mentioned I was invited by Mod Mom and that I was interested in participating in Theme Thursdays, she responded back and explained how things worked.

Theme Thursday happens each week on...Thursday, clever huh?  The participants email suggestions for the theme to each other and once a theme is chosen, we write about it for the following Thursday.  The posts are to be scheduled to go live at 0900 hours EST or 9:00 AM EST, I just like saying it the military way.  At the end of each post we pimp out the other participants to our readers.  Jenn quickly sent out an email to all of the other participants throwing me to the wolves introducing me to them and in turn I received the blog addresses for each person.Of course I took some time to check out the blogs, follow them on Twitter and Like them on Facebook and it was there and then I found myself a Dad trapped in a Mommy blog world, but this time literally.  Wait...what?  I am the only Dad doing this and I was head hunted by Mod Mom?

That's not the end of it though, as we were exchanging emails of pleasantries and introductions, the last email came in and Jenn called me "...gay for Star Wars."  Wait...what?  What does that mean?  I mean I know what the modern meaning of gay means and I don't deny it, I am a major Star Wars geek, but what does it mean to be gay for Star Wars?

I find Leia way more attractive (especially in the slave outfit) than Han, Luke or even Lando for that matter.  I don't find the Ewoks cute and cuddly, I look at them as an intricate part of Episode VI and force to be reckoned with.  I don't let the Minions admire Jar Jar Binks, I simply explain that he played a very big role in the creation of the Empire.

I supposed if you were to use the original meaning of the word gay it would mean I am "joyful", "carefree" or "bright and showy" about Star Wars, which, in this case is true.  I do not hide the fact that Star Wars is a part of my life and that I am not just a fly by night fanboy who has only watched the movies, I have delved into the expanded universe, I have read the books, played the video games, and have even watched the Christmas special from beginning to end.  Not many people can say they have done that.  My entire Lego collection is nothing but Star Wars creations, I have a lightsaber signed by Darth Vader, not David Prowse but Darth Vader and I get excited to see that George Lucas had a hand in just about every movie made, whether it is with Skywalker Sound or Industrial Light and Magic.

I am trying to learn Mandoa (the language of the Mandalore) and three out of five tattoos I have are of Star Wars origin.  I love everything Star Wars...

What a great pick up line!

Star Wars is real, Star Trek is fiction.

Get it straight!

Sorry, we can't be seen together.

Everyone knows how it appeared in theaters!

True story....

This is me and the Trophy.

I'm not that aggressive, but he is pretty annoying.

Now begone with you.

OK, the last three...I guess Jenn was right, I am gay for Star Wars.

Oh and to get the ball rolling, go check out my counterparts in the Theme Thursday, no this isn't my post for it obviously but you can get acquainted with the ladies who hunted me down.
