jacuandor wanted more on the alleged apostasy of my old roommate Steve, and there's really not a lot to say, my old chum now slags off the Star Wars movies en toto. All of them, even the classic originals. I don't know what to say about it... Steve was at one time hip... hell, he's the guy who really deserves the credit for finishing my Star Wars: Bounty Hunter PS2 game (that game was a mutha)... but now he's fallen from the path. Maybe it's because he doesn't appreciate the morality/parable/fable component integral to Star Wars- the notion that Anakin and Luke Skywalker's decisions, or exercises in free will, drive and inform the whole saga (one chooses poorly, the other well indeed), and that through their mythic quest we can ponder our own decisions and destiny. In any case he's chucked Star Wars in the bin.
Apostasy... pure and simple.
