You have got to be kidding me...

I am reading a novel based on the Star Wars movies. I sometimes cannot sleep, and I turn to really, really poorly written novels to make me nod off. The Star Wars novel I am reading at the moment has a disclaimer: "All characters are fictional and any resemblance to real persons, events, places is entirely coincidental...blah blah blah."

Now, come on, am I the only one who thinks that, in such cases, it is not necessary to include such a disclaimer? If you DID see any parallels between the characters and real people, places, etc., you probably don't realize that you are reading a novel, probably have every episode of Xena, Warrior Princess on VHS, and have not left your apartment in months.
