My spoiler-laden meditations on Star Wars are fully armed and operational over on Hang Together:
Millennials are destroying the world because narcissistic Boomers broke up the family. That’s The Force Awakens in a nutshell.
Shockingly, I approve of this message! Would love to hear your thoughts, whatever they are, as always.

I buy your take. I’m also soooo glad I didn’t have to watch three movies revolving around someone turning to the darkside in front of a green screen with terrible dialogue.
1. Empire
2. New Hope
3. Force Awakens
4. Jedi
5. Sith
6/7 Battle for the bottom both disappointing
Here, let me fix that for you:
1. Empire
2. New Hope/Force Awakens
3. Jedi
4. There are no other Star Wars movies
Exactly so:
Reading your thoughts about the casting of Kylo Ren made me think you would enjoy reading the Twitter feed of Emo Kylo Ren (@KyloR3n), See https://twitter.com/KyloR3n

fine I will go to the dance dad
but I will not dance
I will wear a dark peacoat and stand in a corner with hux passing judgment on everyone
Yes I saw that and it is hilarious, which I think supports my reading of the movie. I decided not to read more than a handful of them just because they’re so on the nose, I thought they’d spoil my appreciation of the movie itself; my wife allowed herself to be seduced by the dark side, read them all, and reports that it did in fact reduce her enjoyment of the movie on second viewing!
Oh my that last one with Hux is an absolute classic!
Wait till you get to the ones about Hux giving Emo Kylo Ren books by Nietzsche.
