The Man of Steel, our son, and I went to the new Star Wars movie on New Year’s Eve. We all loved it. I’m ready to see it again to confirm that the ten observations below are completely accurate. For those of you who haven’t seen it yet, reading this post requires no spoiler alert.
10. Luke Skywalker knows how to nail his lines for sure.
9. Skinny women with stylized make up and slinky clothing are up to no good, wherever they are found in whatever universe they inhabit.
8. Hans Solo still has it.
7. As does the original Star Wars theme.
6. Several super-sized creatures from The Lord of the Rings movies (trolls and Ents to name a few) sound a great deal like Chewbacca. Perhaps they used the same voice over artist.
5. Bad guy military attire must always resemble Nazi uniforms in some way.
4. If #5 isn’t enough to help you distinguish between who’s on the light or dark side, apply this simple formula. Red = Resistance, Black = Bad Guys, Storm Troopers = Bad Guys unless they are marked by blood, which happens to be what color?
3. So far as the resistance goes, past princesses, present generals, and present female fighters who might possibly become princesses or generals in future Star Wars movies, must coil their long, dark hair in complicated designs and wear light-colored, flowing clothing in their salad years.
2. Robots have feelings, too.
1. Women can be leaders, light-skinned people can succumb to the dark side, and dark-skinned people can fight for what’s right and true.
Have you seen the new Star Wars movie? What did you think of it? Leave a comment…without spoilers, of course.
