Not quite the fearful statement from Cpt. Tarpals in The Phantom Menace but a grouchy David Baldwin from METRO who has a strange way of publicising events:

You'd think that three paper-thin sequels would have finally sullied the Star Wars franchise. But no, far from it. Star Wars is still held in mythical regard, and woe betide anyone who questions it.

We only mention this because the One Man Star Wars Trilogy comes to the Lichfield this weekend. Starring Charles Ross, the show has been touring for a long time, thanks mainly to the sci-fi faithful. Ross himself maintains that by the age of ten, he'd seen the film 400 times (suggesting some very lenient parents), which made cramming the films into 60 minutes some achievement.

Camp robots, incestuous kisses, TIE fighter sound-effects; the man does it all himself. In fact, that's probably the only genuine legacy of Star Wars - the undying love its fanbase has for it. Well, apart from the Ewoks.

Don't you get the feeling here's one man who never got the Star Wars toy he really, really wanted for Christmas as a kid?



Why does everyone like Star Wars?

i think george lucas must have set fire to his dog when he was a kid.
