Oh, so we're ranking Star Wars are we? Okay, here's my top 5 SW things to watch UT students watch in my transmedia storytelling class:
1. Holiday Special
2. Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure
3. Mace Windu sequence of Tartakovsky's Clone Wars
4. Chauvinist Cut of The Last Jedi
5. Star Wars Uncut

Not me getting misty at 10:22pm on a Wednesday at the amount of times the word "joy" is coming up in my fan studies research these days. Really needed right now, sending some your way.

Conversely, just this week, a friend who does not like Shrek noted that they purchased a nail polish from a licensed tie in line (likely #colourpop, who makes a ton of these) because they loved the color.

Cut to San Diego Comic-con 2016, where there was a full MAC activation/pop up shop to show off their new Star Trek line. I remember wishing I liked the color of the β€œKhaaaaaaaan!” nail polish better.

In 2013 I vividly remember seeing this ad as part of the Cover Girl β€œcapitol collection” tied to Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Something distinctly/appropriately dystopian about giving the coal mining district a smoky eye.
