I am grateful for Star Wars!!!!!!! Predictable? Admittedly. Ashamed? Heck, no!
...I'm actually not going to see the movie for another week or so...but that aside, I'm pretty sure most people in the country, nay, in the world are very grateful that Star Wars exists! People have been excited about Episode VII: The Force Awakens for over a year. Can you believe there was a time when people thought it was all over after The Revenge of the Sith was released!?
Explanation hardly seems necessary here, but I'll have a go anyway. Who doesn't love the majestic scrolling introduction, the awe-inspiring lightsaber battles, the madness of Sith lords, the wisdom of Jedi masters, the myriad of unstoppable duos (Han Solo/Chewbacca, Luke/Leia, Han/Leia, R2D2/C-3PO, Jango/Bobba, Anakin/Padme, Qui-Gon/Obi-Won, Obi-Won/Anakin, Anakin/Palpatine, and on and on), the timeless film quotes, and that EPIC John Williams score, to name a few of my favorite things.
Yes, I am grateful for Star Wars, and thanks to this new movie, the world has awakened with a new hope that this epic franchise will go on.
To all who are off to see the movie: May the Force be with you.
