I recently found a most interesting Internet experiment in which the goal is to collect all the very best blogs into one big melting pot of self-importance. I give you the
Pajamas Media project.
Granted, there aren't a lot of Star Wars entries being touted as the finest that blogdom has to offer. But I think we can change this if we just put our antlers to the grindstone. So let's get to work. I've compiled a wishlist of sorts...
1) Definitely need more theories about Plagueis being related to most everyone from Han Solo to Lobot.
2) I have not yet had my fill of permutations of how the Force is Balanced using various counterweights including, but not limited to, Sith, Jedi, little green dudes, Skywalkers, emperors, Gungans, Death Stars, and misinterpreted George quotes.
3) My day is not complete without at least reading a daily wishlist for Episode VII, VIII, and IX. I'd really love to see more on that way cool website that has the entire plot and scripts.
4) The most important thing we have to do, each and every day, is run through the entire NCAA-style competition bracket to pit every single character against one another in a lighstaber duel, and try to guess the winner. I have yet to see the results of Chewbacca vs. Yaddle, and you'd just think we would have hashed that one out by now.
5) For the last damn time, who the hell is Sifo-Dyas? I want mug shots, I want DNA tests, I want elaborate diagrams with circles and arrows, I want grassy knoll Warren Commision theories, I want gloves that don't fit, things that go bump in the night, dental records, compromising photos with battle droids, and unnamed sources, and I want 'em on my desk yesterday, dammit. And get me a sammich and some Doritos while you're at it, by cracky.
6) This brings up an important point - lately we've been slacking off in the Absolutely Whacked Theories department. "AWT" is an important part of the Star Wars fanboy experience, and it just seems that since ROTS came out, people just don't show the same level of creativity and care when it comes to conjuring absolutely insane conclusions about various cast members.
7) I really miss the old days when people would completely re-work the cast and plots of the movies on the premise that George Lucas doesn't know what he's doing. I myself had a wonderful idea about Christopher Walken cast as the lead in a madcap dance-musical plot for Episode III, Revenge of the Jazz Hands.
8) There simply aren't enough discoveries of catastrophic plot holes. I'm a little worried that I can make it through all six films and they still make perfect sense to me.
9) Jar Jar Binks is the subject of eternal controversy, and yet I never see a single entry about him.
10) We need more blogs that are actually snarky lists. All of them should be in the standard David Lettermen "Top 10" format to promote maximum enjoyment. Embittered Bloggery is a treasure.
11) This, however, is not one of those blogs.
DM out
