This is undoubtedly correct. All you idiots who keep watching this trash are part of the problem.

Pray that I do not alter it further.

Also, I don't see the problem here. These aren't games that have to rely on the same engine and assets and therefore have to be similar. You could have a Star Wars movie with a wildly different theme and mood each summer. One could take place entirely on one planet with no space component, while the next might feature multiple space battles. The Call of Duty comparisons are pretty far off the mark. If Battlefront, KotOR, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, and TIE Fighter had been released in consecutive years, who exactly would have minded?

This does not describe me at all.

Diff is clean shaven and prefers the beret to the fedora. Plus he drives a Mustang to see Bridget Jones at the multiplex.

Seriously. If The Clone Wars has taught me anything, it's how many stories that universe can tell. Yes it was a kids show, and yes there was some kiddie crap, but I think there is room for one main universe storyline (skywalkers, whatever) and one that tells a story which might only expand the universe a little and barely touches on the main story if at all.
