We should have won it.

I am a Narnia fan, too, but Sith should have the Oscar for makeup, if only that. That one nomination was an outrage, but to give it to Narnia? The Minotaurs in that movie looked 100% guy-in-a-mascot-costume to me! I realized that they might not understand some things about the saga, such as its true story, so Mr. Lucas, if you read this, submit the entire saga as one film next year. Back on topic:

A lot of people find time to bash Star Wars. Here's a transcript between Jaren (yours truly) and someone we will call "Greg".

G: Hey, I saw a Star Wars movie last night, Revenge of the Sieve.
J: I think you mean Sith.
G: Yeah, whatever...it was pretty gay. [Do not be sidetracked by this weak-minded fool's incorrect usage of the word.] I heard that you cried in the one part when he kills them little kids.
J: I didn't exactly cry, but I don't hide my emotions like you. Hey, you didn't really see the whole thing, did you?
G: No. But the story was dumb; I couldn't follow it.
J: You didn't see the whole saga, did you?
G: The whole what?
J: Exactly.

See, this is the attitude people have. I can't count how many times I've been called a geek and thanked people. Let me shout this to anyone that heard that I have a blog here and came to dis Star Wars, as some people at my school do: You have to watch the entire saga before you try to understand the story! I hated TPM before I saw the rest of them. Anyway, here's the misconceptions people have. Some minor, some huge.

1) Star Wars revolves around science and is exactly like Star Trek. No, it doesn't. It defies it! A lot of people have said that they can't watch Star Wars because of techno babble. I tell them that's Star Trek, and I am told there's no difference. Funny. You'd think after watching these movies for seven years I would've noticed that. I didn't because it's untrue.

2) Darth Vader is evil. Whoa. I'm going to get mashed here for this. Anyway, no, he's the main hero! The story is about the rise, fall, and redemption of Anakin Skywalker. Vader is Anakin during a darker period that we all go through to some degree. He's redeemed in the end.

3) It's all lightsaber waving. No, there's a deep, deep story. I tried to explain this to someone, and they told me they're too stupid to get the story because they're not a geek. If you're that stupid, why make fun of something?

4) If you go out to a convention, you have no job, life, friends, or girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse. And you live with your mom. No, actually, they have a job to pay for stormtrooper armor and entry to the competition. Plus, most teenagers that say this have no job and live with their mom! My cousin's friend went to C3 and we met up out there. He has a job, life, friends, wife, and lives with his wife and kids.

I'll probably come up with more in a future update.
