Join me in the Boycott Lucas movement.

So George Lucas has announced Feb. 10th as the day of evil as he rereleases his horrible movie The Phantom Menace, now in 3D.  I am calling on all nerds and, for that matter, all Americans to boycott the entire series.  As everyone knows the prequels were crap, and post production 3D is crap.  Why would you spend money to support crap?

This Empire logo comes from the Star Wars T Shirt category.

This goes beyond mere dislike of what Lucas did to his franchise.  We need to take a stand against the raping of cherished movie franchises.  Hollywood needs to realize that they don’t have carte blanche with regards to good movies just for a fast buck.  In case you were wondering what the inevitable conclusion to this ugly trend I have one thing to say to you: Highland 2, the Quickening with 500 Years Ago on Planet Zeist.  You think I’m kidding?  How about a Alien prequel that has Ripley in flight school but somehow involved with aliens?  A remake of Weird Science starring Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith as “geeks” who can’t get girls?  How about a remake of the Karate Kid starring Jaden Smith but mistakenly set in China?  Oh, wait.  That one happened. How about On the Waterfront but make it about MMA?

So do the movie world a favor and don’t go see any of these.  This goes well beyond my personal desire to see Lucas fall on his face.  Don’t take your kids to see these films.  You know the new ones will just damage their soft brains and the older ones will be so full of extra worthless crap that you will want to scream.
