Weekend Post #14: Month in Review pt 2

The posts on this blog have varied greatly in style. There’s been short stories, hilarious jokes, hard-hitting analysis, helpful tips you can use on Star Wars fans in your life, and furious rants. Yet through the diversity, the message has always remained the same: Star Wars must go!

The posting style that received the most reader feedback was my indirect assault on Star Wars through the ABC television series, Lost. While every club member agreed that he or she would rather be watching Star Trek than Lost, many were surprised that I chose to write about hating Lost in the I Hate Star Wars Club blog. However, I firmly believe our society cannot truly forget about Star Wars until popular culture quits mentioning it. I’m happy to report that that post achieved its goal. Lost is currently on a break, presumably so that the writers can frantically rewrite the season finale without a Dharma Star Wars DVD drop on the island. So great has been our success, that I plan on expanding the indirect assaults on Star Wars through other aspects of popular culture in the future.

The I Hate Star Wars Club has made quite an impact on the world. It’s been blogged about and been the topic of countless water cooler discussions. I’m a little surprised that it hasn’t yet received any national news coverage, but that can’t be far away. First, reporters will want to know why Star Wars sales and rentals have so dramatically declined and second, my personal story of turning a humble dream into a genuine worldwide phenomenon within one short month is very inspirational. (Reporters who wish to get the scoop on the competition can email me to set up an interview)

As remarkable as our achievements have been, we can’t relax yet! I’ve set some goals for April and May that this blog will work towards and achieve.
Develop and expand the new “Head to Head” feature.
Start a new short story series.
Continue the exciting trend of decreasing Star Wars availability.
Introduce 5,000 new readers to the blog. (You can help by telling your friends to subscribe to the blog!)
Build on the incredible momentum we’ve created to kill off Star Wars once and for all.
