Disclaimer: I am not exceptionally familiar with the Star Wars. I have seen one, maybe two of the movies in my lifetime: the first one as a study in storytelling, and bits and pieces of the other two in the original trilogy because I was working at the movie theatre when the re-issue came out (I worked at the now-demolished Southcenter theatre, which was like a low-rent Cinerama; we had one enormous screen, half the seats were broken at any one time, and it was the most wonderful place on earth). Nonetheless, I’m intrigued by the debate over the latest movie, The Last Jedi, which seems to have generated one of the more divisive fan reactions of the franchise—there’s even a petition to have it removed from the canon (warning: spoilers; also, the originator of the petition has since said he was high on pain meds and upset when he authored the call).
