    Anyone else find this hugely irritating?! Wasn’t funny the first time.

    Maybe I’m just getting old and grumpy.

    The graphics of Star Wars were great until they were enhanced by computers and the original films altered. The new films were all done digitally and you can tell a difference. I think they should have shot the prequels old school so to speak.

    Never seen any of them, don’t find it irritating. It doesn’t really affect me in anyway other than maybe see someone make a joke on Twitter or something that I scroll past 2 seconds later.

    Don’t forget Revenge of the Fifth tomorrow.

    I’m a huge fan so I’m afraid I’m going to have to say you might be getting old and grumpy!

    But that's the point - it WAS quite funny the first time. Just the first time.

    Never seen any of the Star Wars films, never will.

    People commemorate what they like. I do not care for Star Wars, but it does me no harm.

    This date will always be Happy Great Escape Day. If no-one else I know finds that interesting or important, it doesn't diminish it for me.

    "May the 4th be with you" will always be the Survival Day mantra in my household

    I don't think it's supposed to be funny. The calendar is full of all sorts of theme days that most of us haven't even heard of, the Star Wars day is just one of them. :)

    Why do people so often need to publicly announce this, as if it was something to be proud of? :D

    I know, right? Fancy responding to my thoughts about Star Wars on a thread about Star Wars: particularly when the level of interest you have in it might dictate how you feel about the opening post on the thread.

    The heresy. The fvcking heresy.
