Is Star Wars passé?
“Why are you still writing about that movie? That’s the question my wife posed to me recently and the more I thought about it, the more the question bothered me. Why am I still writing about this movie?
Star Wars, now known also as Episode IV, debuted in 1977, which makes this movie over 30 years old! Three decades - enough time for a Star War fan to grow up, have children and in turn have those children have kids of their own. To say that the original film is long in the tooth is not an exaggeration. A 10-year kid probably looks at me talking about Star Wars like I looked at someone really old talk about the old Flash Gordon serials that were broadcast on the radio back in the day.
