I was never a Star Wars fan. SF books for me, not these new-fangled moving pictures...

I'm not quite sure what a hipster is, but a quick google suggests their influence may not be entirely malignant. :naughty:

That's funny. My kids are the ones who complain about hipsters. :thinks:

Hipsterism seems to be largely over here. I wonder what has replaced it. Hopefully just normalcy.

Never had them. Not in Edinburgh. We had belts and pockets. Had to put your fags somewhere.

It's fine. They can have a little fight among themselves. Starwars fandom, like religion, should be stuffed into some private quarters where the rest of us don't have to be exposed to this fairy kingdom lore.

I didn't mind a little bit of the original Star Trek, back in the day. Plus the early Doctor Who. Of course, both went downhill...

Kylo Ren -- kills his own father and most beloved of Star Wars characters, and he's still only as menacing as a snotty Starbucks barista.
