is star wars gay?

[Raad_Man]

some things about star wars are cool like lightsabers and guns that shoot lasers.

other things are really gay like ewoks and princess laya. 

i really don't know if i like star wars or if it is gay.

Certainly, it is terribly gay to have a female in a movie otherwise mostly populated by men.

Princess Leia is easily the least "gay" element of Star Wars.  A little incestuous, sure, but not gay.

Lightsabers and shooting guns on the other hand... pretty gay bro.

This post marks a new low in the annals of this site. I can barely stomach the banality and the po-faced seriousness that characterizes most of the forum these days, but I'd take an eternity of that over this pitiable attempt at humor. Seriously, Raadman should stick to the right-wing metalhead schtick that had us rolling in the aisles for eight laughter-filled years and leave the gay Star Wars jokes to the comparative genius of Kevin Smith.

But can Raad-man really be considered "one of us"?

(One of us! One of us! Gooble gobble, gooble gobble! One of us! One of us!)

Are you developmentally disabled? 

Holy crap.

I was going through the Best Show archives and this dude was being clowned on more than five years ago by young Petey. This is old-school mutantry.

I don't know if this is to be taken seriously. I don't think so.

The "gay" thing seems consistent with what Jason has characterized as right-wind metalhead schtick. It doesn't make me laugh.

Unfortunately, I still react to posts like this, and I would hope that others would find it at least somewhat problematic. Usually, no one seems to particularly give a shit.

Try replacing the word "gay" in the above sentence with "black" or "negroid" or "Jewish," and see how it reads. Or try an even more inflammatory word with a similar meaning.

Good day.

yeah man kevin smith rules.  i love all of his movies too.  he is a genius.

star wars is not gay, i guess.  it's actually pretty cool.  maybe it's just because the new star wars movies sucked so bad it makes me think the old ones were gay too.  i guess it's just gay to like star wars these days.  it sucks how that happens.

Pretty much agreed with Tom's sentiments on this matter.  We're not children.  Enough is enough.  Who cares about Star Wars anymore?

The two grown men I ran into in the graphic novel section at Borders last night is who, heavy in discussion about what happened to the Stormtroopers after Return of the Jedi. Were they tried for war crimes? Were they just out of work? Will wiki have the answers??

Way to go, comic nerds.

Pooh.

If being a "grown up" means no talking about comics or Star Wars or anything to do with pop culture because the guy with the record player likes to judge, count me out.  I think the Snobs of Tom posters are the more annoying part of the community than the moron trying to get a rise out of people.

What does this freak mean by "po-faced"?
