So, hardcore fanboys need to just lighten up. I mean, anything which can beget a super-cool book like this has to be unwaveringly confident in its sheer awesomeness, right? Personally, I think that when a property has achieved a status where it’s being parodied, homaged, crossed over, mashed up, and variations are being created to appeal to different age groups, it’s a good bet said property has cemented its place in the pantheon of entertainment history (whatever the hell THAT is), and no silly toy or cartoon is going to knock it off its pedestal. On the other hand, maybe I’ll laugh my ass off. After watching the various trailers and clips, I’m sure I’ll check it out when it finally hits TV, but there’s a good chance I’ll view it like I do the Robot Chicken shorts: A little will go a long way. Some peeps won’t think it’s funny, and then there are the hardcore fans who see things like Detours and all the merchandising as somehow diluting or “disrespecting” the Star Wars films. It’s obvious that this new show isn’t going to appeal to everybody. There are whole lines of toys aimed at her age bracket, and still more intended for older kids, all the way up to the “collectibles” nerds like you and I buy. When we go to the toy store, she picks out Star Wars toys. I even bought her a hoodie that looks like Ashoka’s outfit. We watch the Clone Wars TV series together (most of the episodes, anyway I’ve had to screen a few I thought were a bit too intense for her), and her favorite character…as you might guess…is Ashoka Tano. My oldest daughter, getting ready to be six, loves Star Wars. Granted, we’re not talking A Tale of Two Cities or whatever, but there’s obviously some stuff in there for adults to enjoy.ĭoesn’t make it any less for kids, right? While I obviously don’t think it’s meant for kids only, I don’t get this thinking by some folk that it must instead be for adults only. As we grew older, we started figuring out what the grown-ups already knew, and that there was more to the movie than cool ships, laser gun fights, and ‘splosions. Then all those toys came along, and we were playing Star Wars around our neighborhoods, shooting at each other with Han Solo’s blaster (which wasn’t orange) and beating on each other with inflatable lightsabers, and using a catcher’s mask because nobody had anything else that looked like Darth Vader. No, it wasn’t aimed squarely at little shits my age, but we were there, by golly. I was ten years old when Star Wars (not “Episode IV” or “ A New Hope“) hit theaters. Oh, and like I said, keep those kids away from it. No laughing, no mocking, no taking the piss out of the galaxy far, far away. Also? Star Wars is serious business, damn it. All those toys, action figures, games, Lego sets, Halloween costumes and so on? Yeah, all that crap’s targeting the 30-45 age group. This, naturally, has some Star Wars fans up in arms, because, as we all know, Star Wars was never meant for kids. The brainchild of Seth Green and Matt Senreich, aka the creators of Robot Chicken, Detours definitely possesses some of the same DNA (and perhaps a bigger budget), though this new take on poking fun at Star Wars seems designed to be more kid-friendly. Plus, it has the virtue of being irreverent and therefore guaranteed to piss off certain fandom sects, so I’m curious (and hopeful) just on principle.
