I recently did a long and rambling episode of my authentic reactions to my first time watching the Star Wars films. A few weeks have gone by, and it's safe to say my recent life has been consumed by this franchise. I watched all 10 movies that were out at the time in 5 days, rode the brand new ride in DIsney Worlds, "Galaxy's Edge," and I went to the premiere of the 11th movie, The Rise of Skywalker. I also bought a cool Darth Vader shirt!
Anyway, I have had time to absorb, think about, and talk about the films with longtime fans. So here are my much more organized thoughts! (Sided note, The Mandalorian has also been a part of my Star Wars consumed weeks. Another episode for that!)
