Full disclosure: I wrote this a few months ago but it was in
my notebook and I forgot about it. So here it is, all typed up.
I’ve refrained from writing about Star Wars even though I’ve
had a lot of thoughts about the new film (and about the others). Every second
person has written a reflective essay about how much Star Wars means to them
and mine wouldn’t be any different – but here it is anyway. It really is one of
those films that, if it hits you at the right moment in your life, has an
everlasting impact.
