Let's say you have a roommate.

Let’s say you have a roommate.

You’re friends with this roommate. He’s a cool guy. He’s such a cool guy, that one day, he buys a vacuum cleaner for your place.

It’s a very functional vacuum cleaner. It gets the job done. You and your housemates love it. And it was a really cool thing for your roommate to do, to buy this vacuum cleaner for the house to use. Everyone uses it regularly for years.

Then, one day, you find out this roommate has been masturbating with the vacuum cleaner. It started off just every now and then, but now it’s a pretty regular thing. He’ll take it into his room and make it all gross.

Now, you don’t like this, of course. Neither do the rest of the people you live with. Who would? That’s disgusting, to jerk off with a vacuum cleaner like that. Other people want to use it.

Then again, he did buy the vacuum cleaner. He offered to share it with you guys, and you’ve been using it, but now it’s kind of ruined because you found out what else it’s being used for. But it’s his vacuum cleaner to ruin.

You almost want to grab him by the shoulders and shout “Hey idiot, maybe stop being pathetic, sticking your dick in the fucking vacuum cleaner, and go get a fucking girlfriend or something”, but then you remember that it’s not your vacuum cleaner and he can do whatever he wants with it. Furthermore, he’s tried going out and meeting girls, and it never ends well, so he just comes back home to the vacuum cleaner.

It’s gross and it’s sad, and even though you’ve come to really like the vacuum cleaner, you have to accept that it’s not yours to make decisions about and leave it alone.

This is basically how I feel about how George Lucas has handled the Original Star Wars Trilogy.
