Not liking Facebook OR Star Wars Episode IV

Sometimes change is good but sometimes constant tinkering can take something awesome and useful into something annoying full of Ads and CGI Banthas. 
I am well aware that there is no such thing as a "free" service and the bills need to be paid and things need to be "freshened" up for a new generation but right now, I am not much of a fan of either Facebook or Star Wars Episode IV. 
I still remember seeing Star Wars when I was in short pants. It was far better than anything else I had ever seen. But then George Lucas kept tinkering and some stark scenes became busy with a bunch of nonsense. Hopefully Disney will restore Star Wars without the changes made since the 1997 version. 

Facebook has been a useful tool for staying in touch and networking BUT their recent attempts at making money have been modeled less on Google and more on those annoying booths at Festivals where they "give away" a car in order to drum up leads for a time share business. 
When you login into Facebook they say, Always free but maybe they should offer an Ad free premium account?
