I'm really happy that Disney is taking the Star Wars Franchise and running with it.

But Jesus Tapdancing Christ, we just got through the last upswing of merchandising the fuck out of everything with The Force Awakens and Rogue: One.

Want a Lightsaber? Here's twenty of them: Black Edition, Kid's Edition, Spork Edition.

Want a Star Wars Kid's Stormtrooper First Order costume with camel-toe? We've got that covered!

I burned out heavily on the first iteration; I'm sick to death of this.

And all the while I can't help but think "At least George Lucas, in his ever-expanding quest to merchandise the fuck out of Star Wars had the decency to let up a bit. At least he let the tastes mingle in the mouth a bit and allowed folks to savor it for a few years".

Disney? Fuck that savor shit; here's a firehose that has been surgically implanted into every orifice of your life. Hope you can withstand the pressure because there's MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM!

And I understand they needed to get these out ASAP because the original cast is getting up there in years (RIP Carrie Fisher). Not to mention the people who were indoctrinated into Star Wars when they were wee pups asking their parents for every scrap of plastic and die-cast metal that Kenner ever produced.

I get that.

But seriously Disney? You've pretty much taken what little luster there was for Star Wars and marketed the fuck out of it to where I can't even stand walking in Meijer.

(And it doesn't help that I already have a feud with Disney over their copyright maximalistic nonsense. It doesn't help that the company that is cranking out Star Wars as fast as the crank will allow is the company that I despise above all as the company that destroyed the public domain and will stand at nothing to enact their legal defense over "intellectual property".

Disney is the reason I will never pay to watch Star Wars. Disney is the reason I'm done with Star Wars.

But I can't be done with Star Wars. I can't be done with Disney. They show up everywhere with branded products and their cute (c) Disney on everything.

Ever looked at Star Wars Lego?

Disney's
Star Wars
blorpinator blorpfighter x3000

its right there under the package. Right next to Kylo Ren's nondescript non-face.

Disney won't let you forget that Disney is pretty much 1/3 of the store. Disney owns our culture. Disney is busily hooking up the hoses for another assault on your senses
