A family tradition

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2017)

40 years ago when I was 11 going on 12, my Dad and I went to see a fascinating new movie called "Star Wars" at our local small-town cinema. I was dazzled. My father liked the use of holography in the special effects. It is a great memory. Everyone was talking about it.
It's 40 years later. I'm the father. My son is 11 going on 12 and we went to see the movie together. We had a great time sharing popcorn and enjoying the latest story. We like the new characters, and the prominence of women in the story - my son learned about the Bechdel test from his sixth grade teacher (who is a man), and this movie passes the Bechdel test, to our delight.
We both feel this is a good story - and my son is a lot more well versed in the particulars, I highly recommend this for a men's night out, a women's night out, or a family night out. I am not sure what other people are complaining about.
Go see this. It is epic!
