Zap, Zap, Zap...(A Former Fan's Critique Of Star Wars) Poem by DM W

Zap, zap, zap...that's Star Wars in a nutshell.
Okay there is the Force and other themes.
But essentially what really sells it
Is the fact that it taps into childhood dreams.
One critic famously called it: 'Cowboys
And Indians in Space'. Monsters and droids
Embellish it somewhat. But it's more fun
Than serious Sci - Fi. Lots of laser guns
And light sabres; lots of battles between
'Good' and ' Evil'. Also, all the money
Spent on special effects is truly obscene.
They dazzle the eyes when viewed on Widescreen
I like the first three films; but the rest are
Terrible: a complete waste of time! Star
Wars is now, alas it seems, little more
Than a bloated franchise. No more Star Wars
Please! By all means, collect the merchandise,
But the next film will not be paradise;
Not a chance. Indeed, it's likely to be
Cinematic hell; no thanks to Disney!
