    That’s a part of it, but Star Wars certainly has many different things to explain its appeal.

        Latest rumour is Snoke is Luke’s son in some time travel nonsense.

    Does anyone ever proof read these articles before they publish them? This article has multiple examples of poor writing, the worst of which being, “Fisher also went on to say that admitted she’s likened Comic-Con, the annual gathering of genre fans.” I don’t even know what that sentence is trying to say! Every day I read something on this website that has grammatical errors or is just plain poorly written. It is very annoying!

      Maybe you could offer to do the proof reading?

      If you think this is bad, you should check out the generic geek media click-bait site moviepilot.com. Their articles are chock full of spelling and grammatical errors.

      “Fisher also went on to say that admitted she’s likened Comic-Con, the annual gathering of genre fans.”

      Or maybe you just need to practice your reading comprehension skills.

      This clearly says “Carrie Fisher also said that she admitted to liking Comic-Con, the annual gathering of Science Fiction, Fantasy, Post-Apocalypse, Anime, and many other genres of nerd based fans.”

      How did you not gather that from that sentence?

      This is called “creative grammar”.

    Is it just me, or does Carrie look a LOT fitter and healthier than she did in the The Force Awakens? I wonder if her role in Episode 8 is more active, which would be awesome.

    I would love to see Leia swinging a lightsaber. Maybe force-grabbing a lightsaber from someone, and charging at Kylo Ren: “You killed my husband you little *#&$^#^%!”

      Was thinking the same thing. She looks great

    For me, It’s the fact that it can incorporate so many different film genres and historical cultures without feeling at all forced. I think that’s why it’s not just an American thing since it draws from every real world civilization around the globe so it feels very familiar even it the presentation is bizarre.
