How come critics are always late to the blindingly obvious party?<br /><br /><br />*(Is there an official term to distinguish these fans from the dudes (yeah yeah and girls) whose fandom consists of only collecting Star Wars merchandise and playing Star Wars cards and that kind of stuff?)<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=intrigueing&ditemid=12363" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
