As John Williams’ classic closing credits theme plays, the lights go up in George Lucas’ private screening room. Our heroes have done it. The fanboys have seen “The Phantom Menace.”

FANBOY #1: What the hell was that?

FANBOY #2: Midi-chlorians? Midi-chlorians!? What — the force is a blood disease?

FANBOY#3: That movie was racist to, like, three races!

FANBOY #1: Meesa childhood go boom.

Cancer Fanboy dies.

Oh, and maybe shame the big national broadband providers into improving U.S. Internet service speed, which currently lags behind many other countries around the world.
