We have all, at one point or another in our lives, been a Wookiee.

I think one of the reasons Star Wars episodes IV-VI are so appealing is that we have all been (or known someone who is) a whiny teenager, a kind of bitchy "princess", a smart aleck, a know-it-all, or the crazy old man down the street with a secret past.

One of the MANY ways in which Star Wars episodes I-III failed is that I don't identify with someone who's a rebellious slave, or the teenaged ruler of their own country and/or planet¹.

¹ Except in that all teenagers think they are the ruler of their own country and/or planet and would like to be able to exile you from it. You just don't understand! Their lives are hard! Gah!

Oh, are you talking about the Xmas tagline? That's Brush Script MT, not Comic Sans.

Hahahaha. This is so true that it's a little scary. No wonder everyone in my life loves those movies so much.

I found the problem - if you don't have Brush Script MT on your computer, then it uses whatever "cursive" font you do, and apparently Comic Sans is considered cursive. AIEEEEEE!

Whew! Well I'm glad I know that's it's just my computer. I thought you might have overloaded on the holiday spirit & universal love which resulted in acceptance of comic sans. :-)
