At this point, I don’t give a shit for and about all fan theories and stuff surrounding canon or extended universe. If I can get a night off, I’m going to see this film on the big screen and get some two hours or so of escapism.
Which, given all circumstances beyond the Star Wars universe, is a very short but nevertheless valued time.
Don’t get me wrong: I will bicker about sloppy writing, shit visuals and bad cinematography. No worries, I will even be mad about it, eventually. This is part of the circensis.
Get me the updated version of the heroine’s journey, paaahleeeese. If you want to upset me, destroy everyone and everything. But if you want to destroy me, give me a realistic view through a metaphor of the current state of the world (given the origin of the franchise, the US may even suffice).
