Kylo Coax for May the Fourth

.

What? A crappy Kylo figure for May the Fourth? Not anybody cool, like Vader or Tarkin or that weird devil guy sitting in the background in the cantina on Tatooine; not even Jar-Jar, but lame-beyond-lame Kylo?

It doesn't really matter. I guess I don't really care much about Star Wars anymore.

I found this cheap Kenner Kylo fig a few minutes ago while rummaging around in the storage shed. I also found a length of coax cable.

Coax cable. Remember that stuff? We used to use coax to hook up our VCRs.

Remember VCRs? Of course you don't. VCRs are an outmoded technology (that has never been topped for pure awesomeness) from the era of the original real Star Wars movies, before Vader had a wussy whiny crybaby grandson.

I refuse to accept that Vader's grandson nonsense. Or Han's son, for that matter. Han and Leia adopted an orphan, that's the only legit ex-planation.

Stupid story arc, Solo's supposed son killing Han Solo. That was so contrived and stupid.

Did I mention stupid?

And then we're all supposed to cheer when Kylo and Rey, the Missing Link from the Skywalker clan who is also related to the Emperor, get together? The inbreeding is strong in this family.

As I said, I found the coax cable in the storage shed. It's a really nice short length of cable of a higher quality than is typical. I don't remember where it came from, but I remember why I kept it: it is a nice length of cable. I might need it some day.

Except, I won't need it. I've lived here 11-1/2 years now. I haven't needed a coax cable since I moved here. I'd love to believe that one day I'll build a beautiful home theater set-up with a big screen and surround sound and all manner of gadgetry wired in so I can watch Star Wars laserdiscs in full THX audio awesomeness, but realistically, that's never gonna happen, and now all of a sudden I'm totally depressed just thinking about it not happening.

I'm gonna toss the cable in the trash, and Kylo too.

Except I think I'll pull Kylo's head off first, and keep the head-helmet as a background prop to use in my action figure photos.
