Are you as sick as I am of Star Wars?

All of the hype and the merchandising is just too much and shows how shallow we have finally become. Surely seniors should avoid involving themselves in this childish outpouring of interest...
 

I might have known. Anything far out seems to be your cup of tea...
 

One of our morning news stations here in Boston had their lead story about an all day Star Wars marathon going on right now from one of the local theaters. Sent their weatherman out there to cover it.
 
I have no idea who Boba Fett is.... except my son said... "I'm all set like Boba Fett.." to me a few weeks ago. That was the first I ever heard that name.. So.. the answer to the OP... is I've never gotten into it.
 
Seeing the film are you? You will be embarrassing yourself and the senior cause of not wanting to be seen as childsh...
 
No, but perhaps those of a mature content, and occasionally one of an overly mature content...
 
:playful:There is mature content with an R rating that I have no poroblem with seniors enjoying...
 
I have no problem being childish - it keeps me young. I'll watch Hamlet then go see Kung Fu Panda. It's all good.
Never a huge fan of Star Wars - more of a Trekkie - but I see no problem with the latest release.

The marketing - eh, that happens with everything these days. Even in the past, some movie premieres were larger than life.

Click to expand...

That's called "situation normal", everything is hyped and merchandised these days...can't stand to even watch a network news program- most of it makes you gag(focus on entertainment clowns) or makes you reaching for your psyche meds(shootings, bombings, political atrocities).
 
I'm looking forward to playing the game "Googly Eyes" with my grandkids on Christmas.... No idea what that has to do with this thread... except it's childish.. and I love it.. hahahahaha
 
Don't try to get cute on this serious topic or you might be considered a furriner...
 
Why worry about entering a second childhood, when clearly none of us has left the first? Yaaaaay! Let's plaaaay! Lolololol. I think I am getting caught up in the spirit of Xmas, or else drunk from lack of sleep. Whatever, it's all good.
