A real Star Wars fan is just anyone with a love for genuine entertainment and a desire to share it throughout the world and throughout time. There are few things in our culture that are as multi-generational as Star Wars. I grew up watching the original version of ep. IV on my Dad’s old VHS tape. He eventually got us the rest of them, but we watched the original so many times together that I eventually memorized mostly all the lines. Even as an adult, whenever I had a bad day, he would offer to cook me up a frozen pizza and pop in A New Hope. It’s too bad he won’t be around to see The Rise of Skywalker. I can only imagine his face when he sees all of our favorite characters on the big screen again; when Leia, Lando, C3PO, R2D2, and Chewie all die when the millennium falcon is blown up by Sheev, who turns out to be Rey’s grandfather.
