In one week's time, Disney acquired Lucasfilm (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/30/disney-acquires-lucasfilm-for-4-05-billion-lucasarts-included/) and announced Star Wars Episode 7, and Halo 4 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/halo-4) approached its impending release date. Non-fans of either series, sadly, might take to generally mean-spirited quips about either piece of news.
The fact is, super fans of either major sci-fi franchise deserve to be thrilled. Frankly, there is a clear-cut difference between merely discussing a brand of entertainment and seemingly ruining it for others. I find that those lines get depressingly blurred when these amazing moments in pop culture arrive.
As a reminder: It's totally okay to enjoy things. It's also equally okay to not enjoy things. Let's remember both sides of it, and all be friends, not "fun-ruiners." While we group hug, snag a glimpse at last week's webcomics, then vote for your favorites after the break!
