Hepcat Hermits Love Stars Wars Because it's B

Photobucket

It's funny, when Attack of the Clones came out, I remember people saying how that sounded like a b-movie title. It just seemed strange, when we're talking about a series that revolves around something called the Death Star. I just can't think of anything that sounds more "b" than Death Star. They grow up with Death Star and it sounds the same to them as say Rosebud in Citizen Kane. Not b at all.

Interestingly, when The Empire Strikes Back was about to come out, the title received the same disdain. Yes it did. But the realism boys, the people who like "grim and gritty", they love Empire. Even though its title is as corny as it gets. Gloriously, gorgeously, goodygoodygumdropsily so!

And we're talking about a franchise that is called Star Wars. Yes, Star Wars.

Star.

Wars.
