This makes me realize that I can't hate the prequel trilogy, because as bad as my tweenie crush on Carrie Fisher is/was the one I have/had for Natalie Portman is worse.

Look, I hate to play moral guardian, but what we're looking at here is a game in which the player physically matches booty shakes with a woman in a stripper costume, to the tune of some very slightly altered songs about the female singer's exact (and not too difficult) requirements for having sex*. And it's marketed STRAIGHT to tween girls:

Star Wars Kinect - Girly Vader Commercial HD

With the promise that the game will let them kill people.

I'm not exactly worried about what this game is doing to Star Wars, because anybody who worries about what's happening to Star Wars at this point is in a fucking abusive relationship, but I am worried about what it's doing to, you know, general good taste.

* I guess Hollaback Girl is actually a song about a woman's desire to savagely beat up a man where there's nobody around to help, but that's not what it sounds like at first play.

It's not so much that I worry about what happens to the franchise, Brentai. It's that I'm witnessing the officially sanctioned defilement and mockery of the three movies that created my interest in science fiction. I would *love* to be able to just instantly no longer care about Star Wars, I assure you.

I'm going to be honest: there was sort of a Star Wars lull going on during my formative years, so I don't really have the same attachment I think most people have to it. There was, like, Super Star Wars for the SNES and that was it. And I didn't own a Super Nintendo.

Instead, I have Batman.

And Mark Hammill as the Joker.

So there's SOME overlap.

I'm still kind of confused about the outrage over this. I mean, this is a franchise that's already enjoyed stuff like the Ewok Movies, the Ewok and Droids cartoons, the Holiday Special, Jar Jar adventure games... And this is the stupid thing that finally set you all off? This is not ruining your childhood. Your childhood was pre-ruined.

I mean, DJ Lobot for chrissake. I'm down with that.

For the record, I'm not angry so much as I am endlessly amused. This is absolutely fucking hilarious.
