LUCAS UNVEILS TITLE OF NEW STAR WARS FILM; GEEK APPROVES
The Editors
George Lucas has finally announced the title of his last installment of the Star Wars prequel trilogy. The Yahoo news article is fairly bland. Yet, one paragraph struck the Editors cold. In fact it haunts us, even days after reading it for the first time. We simply cannot stop thinking about this particular paragraph:
The first thing that struck us was Mr. Wright's self-absorption. "I thought it was great, I loved it." It's all about you, isn't it Barren?
Secondly, the name; Barren Wright. Is it real or an alias? Barren Wright - Barrow Wight? And does his first name intimate a low or non existent sperm count? Is he nobility?
Third, the age, thirty-five (35) in conjunction with his attire, Boba Fett. The words, '35' and 'dressed as the green-armored bounty hunter Boba Fett' must never, ever, appear in the same sentence. Chilling.
Fourth, his approval of George Lucas, "It's a smart move by Lucas Film." Yes, Barren, men who create billion-dollar franchises that have a thirty-five year old man dressed like a green-armored bounty hunter tend to make smart moves - and lots of money.
Finally, Mr. Wright's need for closure is, well, womanly. "It's a smart move by LucasFilm to tie it all together...." What's the matter? Can't stand some ambiguity in your life? Need that final wrap-up to be neat and tidy? You were dumped in high school and never got over it, weren't you? Do you still play Dungeons & Dragons?
We do not know Barren Wright, yet, our loathing is immeasurable.

In fact it haunts us, even days after reading it for the first time. We simply cannot stop thinking about this particular paragraph:
"I thought it was great, I loved it,' said Barren Wright, 35, a graphic designer from Modesto who was dressed as the green-armored bounty hunter Boba Fett. "This takes it back to the classic trilogy, It's a smart move by Lucasfilm to tie it all together since the logo and everything is identical to 'Return of the Jedi.'
