Unless you've been living under a rock that's in a cave out behind the Unabomber’s shack, you know that a new movie called "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" exists. You're probably also aware that, despite some reservations about its plot being a retread of the original 1977 film, it's being universally hailed as a return-to-form for the beloved franchise. In fact, it's being so widely enjoyed that it's broken virtually every imaginable box office record in just the first few weeks of its release. If you know all of that, there's a good chance you've seen the last three Star Wars movies. Despite a few bright spots, they were almost universally reviled as cold, clunky, and joyless films created by an egomaniac billionaire who'd surrounded himself with too many yes-men. That man's name was George Lucas and, despite selling the series lock, stock, and blaster-barrel to the Walt Disney Corporation for a staggering $4 Billion, he is not a happy camper.
