Sorry that I haven't posted anything for a few days, life just got in the way.
In non Star Wars related news I've been working on a short story that I hope will be complete soon, and I want to try and get it published this year.
In Star Wars related news, The Force Awakens is, sometime today, going to surpass Avatar at the domestic box office to become #1 all time (not adjusted for inflation.)
I don't have an immigrant story to tell, but, writing on her personal blog, Salon's television critic, Sonia Saraiya, really nails down the way Star Wars feels on a personal level, and why it matters. I'll probably have my own thoughts soon.
Finally, my defenitive rankings, so far, of the Star Wars films:
The Great Movies Tier:
The Empire Strikes Back
A New Hope
The Force Awakens
The Good Movies Tier:
Return of the Jedi
The Flawed but Decent Movies Tier:
Revenge of the Sith
The Deeply Flawed But With Parts I Will Defend When Slightly Inebriated, and Oh God Natalie Portman is so Smart and Beautiful and Good at Acting and Hayden Christensen Couldn't Act His Way Out of a Cardboard Box Tier:
The Attack of the Clones
The Bad but the Fact That I Didn't Mind the Whole Tariffs Plot Totally Meant That I Was a Politics Nerd, And Liam Was Great and that Duel With Maul Was Pretty Cool, And The Movie Improves 100% When You Realize Padme Is the Actual Protagonist, But Everything Else Can Go Die In A Dumpster Fire Tier:
The Phantom Menace
