Star Wars

I used to be a huge Star Wars fan. That is, until Episode 1 came out. I don't know if it was the awfulness of the movie or I had just grown out of it, but after that, it was done. I still enjoy Star Wars themed stuff, especially Knights of the Old Republic RPG from last year, but it doesn't draw me in like it used to.

I don't know. It might have been the mystique from the originals that I loved so much. There was a story, but a lot of it was incomplete. It was such a rich and vivid world filled with mystery and wonder. As the prequels were released and some of the questions were answered, that mystique disappeared. It was that wonder that made it so special.

I'm not a raving Star Wars fanboy anymore. I appreciate the world and the whole idea of the force and light sabers, but it just doesn't have that same draw anymore.
