Hi all. Long time no see.

TLJ is more divisive than I thought. My own thoughts are divided. I enjoyed the film. But I am very disillusioned and disagree with where they have taken Star Wars, in tone and story choices. Disillusionment is practically a theme of the movie. Maybe it’s echoing, intentionally or not, the times we live in; or merely where the generation that grew up with Star Wars is today. I am very curious how this Star Wars movie plays for younger audiences. In many ways this is a weighty movie. The visuals are cool but I can’t imagine what they get out of the story.
