Maybe a little. But I still use mine as long as the dish fits. They do allow you to procrastinate...<br /><br />Star Wars is my other great obsession. I never grew too old for baseball cards, so I don't think I'll ever grow too old for Star Wars. To me, it's great storytelling and just plain old cool. I read about a lot of hard core fans being mad that Disney bought the franchise. I don't take it that seriously - that's why I like Star Wars, it's fun.<br /><br />I've never crossed my card collecting with Star Wars, though.

I picked one up to look at the package, hoping one of my daughters would be excited about the find and give me an excuse to buy one. No interest from them although they've watched the movie.<br />In the end, I realized I was not interested to spend the buck, so, just like in the 70's and 80's, I didn't buy one. . . and life goes on.<br />AthleticGiganteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17993227153949066667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-39080543594169403172016-01-18T23:11:06.640-05:002016-01-18T23:11:06.640-05:00There's a dishwasher in the house that we'...There's a dishwasher in the house that we've just recently purchased but we've never turned it on yet and may never will. It's just the two of us and our baby so not a lot of dishes are dirtied up, not an unimaginable amount anyway.<br /><br />I've watched most of the Star Wars flicks over the years but I wouldn't be able to tell you what happens in which ones anymore. When the Phantom Menace was released in theaters, I vaguely remember being interested in it. I know for sure I saw it and spent quite a few hours on my computer playing the Star Wars Episode I Pod Racing game.

You've got a generation of people who grew up with the prequels. You've got several generations of people who grew up with various other Star Wars related things. And you've got this new generation that's going to grow up with the newest trilogy. And chances are Disney will keep that train rolling for as long as it's profitable (owning the franchise basically prints money). Barring some dramatic shift, Star Wars is going to be a ubiquitous presence in western society soon (if it isn't already).Zippy Zappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695389359056056119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-83747513357268587382016-01-18T19:41:02.790-05:002016-01-18T19:41:02.790-05:00Every time I see cards from this new Star Wars set...Every time I see cards from this new Star Wars set, I'm tempted to buy some. I have fond memories of collecting the 1980s ones (and buying sets of the 1970s ones at early 1980s sportscard shows). But I don't love them enough to commit the cash to buying enough packs to build the set and I know if I bought a full set, I'd look at it once and then it would just become "clutter."
