Who waits 30 years to rip on, of all things, Star Wars?
Apparently Tony Long does, Wired blog’s “The Luddite”:
No wonder Guinness bailed out after the first movie. When you’ve played Col. Nicholson in Bridge on the River Kwai and Prince Feisal in Lawrence of Arabia, donning the threadbare cosset of a washed-up Jedi knight and swapping sophmoric banalities with third-rate actors must have been a severe shock to the system. ...
Though I like the “swapping sophmoric” alliteration (wait, did Tony spell sophomoric wrong on purpose?! Probably - because this paragraph sounds really smart!), the rest of Tony’s pithy comments fall flat… maybe because he only watched the first of 6 episodes. One cannot undo the inspirational brilliance of the first three Star Wars; they have stood the test of time.
But nice try, dude.
Now watch out, because I think you’ve seriously pissed off the majority of this country.
