1. Star Wars is dead for many fans that hoped the franchise would grow up with them. The same ones that fooled themselves into believing Star Wars was anything but a modern fairy tale for kids.

2. Star Wars is dead to those who are deeply insulted that the new Clone Wars film is catering children exclusively. You find this type among the film critics who are writing ridiculously rabid reviews. You would think Lucas and Co. killed a million puppies with a sledgehammer. It’s just a movie folks! Get over it.

3. Star Wars is dead to those who always wanted and desired that franchise to be dead in the first place. Duh!

However…

Star Wars is alive and well with:

1. People that always knew that Star Wars was either a glorified B-movie franchise, A modern fairy tale (for kids and kids at heart) or just something to watch with your mind turn off.

2. With kids. Period.

3. With 35-40 year old peter-pan wannabees that want to stay young forever.

4. And lastly, it’s alive and well with people that hated the Special Editions and prequels, but went to see them anyway, bought the DVD’s (and are awaiting to buy Blu-Ray editions) and are the first in line to see any movie related to the franchise, buy toys or go to conventions.
