Mainstream America doesn't really care that much about Star Wars either... To listen to announcements about it on the news, or like when I skip past E3 and the remote stops working :D (okay, so it had Darth Vader on it so I decided to watch it for a bit), they basically just report it with a light hearted attitude like it's just that silly nerd stuff and then someone makes a quick joke about being someone's father or using the force and they go into some detailed report on something like "Kittens, are they too cute?" or "Ashley whatsherface is dating this other guy who's famous, but they won't tell all! WHY?!" or "there's a new movie about crossed lovers, one from New York and the other from... Scotland this time" and they seem to care a lot more about those than 'Wars, so I'm just saying that Star Wars is likely going to only get good ratings relative to CABLE shows, but won't be able to compete with the networks.
If I'm wrong though, then I guess that means someone either did something amazingly right to show people what's what, or catered to the common imbecile.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
