Two possibilities:

Current rich kid asks dad to buy him a Porsche, or at least a Porsche for the dad.

Plants a seed in a kid's mind that Porsche is cool - it's a long play, but what we are exposed to as children plays a huge role later on in life in general. Sneaky but effective.

Also, Star Wars fan as a kid grows up to be an adult...still a Star Wars fan, and now has money to spend on expensive cars, rather than Force Friday action figures. :lol:
Indeed. It would place a tremendously huge dent in my savings account, but I could buy a Porsche. And if it looks like storm trooper that is kind of cool. But then my wife would leave me.

"A simple stuff for all ages." - I think this is what's missing in the PT and ST

Anyway. That's a great interview.

You’re the sole RM vanguard for not understanding Star Wars. You’re calling for it to be simple.

I’ll just leave that there.

I don't think that is fair at all to say he doesn't understand Star Wars, dime. You are being kind of SW elitist there when you say that, yeah? "What I think about Star Wars is the right thing".

Anonymous account that Only posts here to complain. Hardly engaging.
We’ve done this already. Move along. Gets nowhere.


Asshats saying there’s a teaser tomorrow for the trailer Monday.

God I hope not.

He’s kind of in TFA. I’d say he likes it.

His family still get points on the OT so I’d say they’re very very happy :)

Alec Guinness died in 2000. I thought it was earlier.

He must have saw a vhs copy of TPM.
