Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Back in 2008 the Welsh singer Gruff Rhys released a single called “I Told Her On Alderaan,” and while he was basically writing Star Wars fan fiction I assumed that Alderaan was a prescription drug, not a planet. That anecdote pretty much describes my relationship with the Star Wars universe. Forty years and seven months after Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher showed up to battle the bad space people, the franchise continues with a film that’s a hit with critics and probably a hit with audiences. Hamill’s back for the ninth or I guess eighth installment, along with a purple haired Laura Dern, and that’s pretty much all I know.
