Don't get me wrong, I had a good time. My kids really liked the film -- my son now says he officially likes Star Wars (he didn't before).

But my biggest problem with this film is its puppy-dog like need to please the fans by harking back to the previous films.

@factualopinion @cmautner The Empire has won. There's only freedom in the outer fringes of the galaxy, in places like alt comics.
