It is probably the most important holiday on the nerd calendar. Like all true adherents, we celebrated with a movie. This post isn’t really about Star Wars. It’s about crossing a line.
The original trilogy defined my adolescence. I think the prequels are fantastic and I love the newest trilogy as well. I enjoyed the in-between movies and most of the Clone Wars series is solid. The newest stuff might be great art but I doubt that I will ever find out. The problem is that they have made too much stuff.
It’s stressful for a fan. It feels like I am missing something and at the same time, it makes the whole thing feel more trivial. I’m sure that the Star Wars machine will continue to churn out stories as long as there is money to be made. As for me, I’ll stick to the classics.
