As much as I love the Star Wars franchise, I've /never/ liked the
whole "May the Forth" thing. It just seems too artificial, too much a
marketing construct for me to get behind. It's like what our family
always called the "Hallmark Holidays" - Mother's Day, Valentine's Day,
etc. - designed by corporations as excuses to get you to buy stuff.
Homey don't play dat.*

If anything Star Wars crosses my desk this weekend, it's because I
naturally had interest in the product, and not because I'm supposed to
because the day has been declared "Star Wars Day".
