Quentin Tarantino's Star Wars?: A Response

This article made a lot of sense to me. i particularly connected with the section on Media Convergence. For a long time now, I've understood the Hollywood mentality of "take something that works, and milk it for all it's possibly worth." this is the mentality we can thank for such great films as "American Pie: Band Camp," "Saw IV," and "Scary Movie III." This article, however both confirmed my belief in this mentality and recognized that it is no long localized to the film industry. now we have Family Guy: The Video Game, Donnie Darko: The Soundtrack, and Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace Picture Book. because of this I think it's important to contribute to culture, so that we're not stuck watching "Shindler's List II: Payback Time."
