P: "Change your hair, change your life"--thru Solange,

[Gary Webb]

I thought the film was quite brilliant. As over wrought as this franchise has become, and in all likelihood, will continue to be it is encouraging to see the filmmaker reduce Star Wars to its core, i.e. sense of wonder on the face of a child, looking up at the stars. The movie isn’t perfect but that’s asking too much, and the cinephile inside is lamenting that the success of this picture will ultimately result in a Mickey Mouse shaped moon orbiting our planet, but for now just bask in the beauty of slow annihilation.
