I CAN NO LONGER REMAIN SILENT [John Derbyshire]"Star Wars is crap. The whole thing, all of them -- crap, crap, crap. An insult to the intelligence of our kids. Buck Rogers made more sense -- and that's not EVEN to mention Dan Dare, Tom Corbett, Kemlo, and countless other far-more-worthy-to-be-remembered precursors. George Lucas took classic space opera and MESSED IT UP. Verpfuscht! The Empire has no clothes."
