Both politics and entertainment are, in different ways, acts of storytelling. Too often, today’s sequels and spinoffs come across like feature-length teasers. They’re all middle.

I enjoyed your ‘second thoughts’ on Star Wars, Jay. To some extent, all films reflect the narrative of the times in which they’re made. This seems especially true of Star Wars films. Happy festive season!
