This is the only movie in the world in which this discussion is taking place. That isn't our fault, it's Lucas' fault.

That is the single most important point to remember in this entire thread.

Eventually as a parent-like being in this SW relationship, there comes a decision to point the finger at yourself. It's nice that large blocks go out and put the latest doodle from this 70 year old man-child onto their fridge. (...landfilling the last doodle...) The symbolic circle is now deformed and twisted, LFL is the necessary evil, the go between the creator and the memories. Dolling them out like crumbs to the house where you'll eventually realize, you're not in Modesto anymore. ...this metaphor is past it's prime, it's killed children, jedi, sith, even ackleys all in the name of the BEEP : Turn the page.

Well put, sir. I suppose it goes without saying, at least I hope it does, that I made that decision decades ago. That decision (a very easy one, by the way) was for a non-Lucas Star Wars world. Daley & Zahn make up my personal canon.

Truth be told, I'll most likely never watch Star Wars again. Having made the transition to much deeper & much better stories - in a much more vast universe - I won't be going backwards.
