Lucas

Star Wars films only get worse and worse as they go along. Everyone knows this. Ever since the second film in the 1980's, everything went downhill. Why do the fans, who acknowledge how terrible the newer movies actually are, keep on watching them over and over and buying all the ultra-expensive collector's edition box sets? It's some strange, twisted kind of loyalty. The fans are so influenced by propaganda and promises that the films would get better that they believe every word Lucasfilms says. Most would simply consider this 'nerds being nerds', but I see something much more sinister and complex. Actions such as these are so bizarre and irrational that they must be closer analyzed. Hardcore fans go around spewing quotes from the films and novels that have been implanted in their head by countless hours of viewing and reading time. The reciting of said quotes normally have a strangely accurate hypnopaedic level of efficiency. The innocent fans of Star Wars have been roped into something far bigger than just a franchise of science fiction entertainment products. They are mindlessly following every product of a franchise which is always becoming more and more lacking in quality. The fans see what's happening, but are helpless. They are for some reason compelled to watch and purchase terrible films. They are unwillingly part of a revolution. They have become part of a society with a sadistic totalitarian leader who refuses to give them any emotions excluding pain. With every fan George Lucas forces to purchase a useless, shoddy product, his net worth goes up slightly, and with no end in sight, George Lucas could well become one of the richest, most powerful men in the world. Whilst using the Skywalker Ranch, his residence, as a concentration camp for converting and reprogramming the non-believers, he slowly grows and grows in wealth until he is able to buy out the US government and become leader of the free world. Once gaining control of America, he commands his mindless hordes of 'fans' to invade the world's most powerful countries and gain control of them. Once becoming supreme ruler of Earth, he puts more and more money into space programs so that he may reach other planets, planets which he may convert, much in the same way he converted Earth, to his semi-religious mindless horde of armies. With his vice-chief, Stephen Spielberg by his side, his grip will eventually tighten, until the universe is all his.
He is all-powerful.
He has a plan.
He is unstoppable.
He is George Lucas.
