Star Wars: Revenge of the Myth (Opinion) - CNN.com

Star Wars: Revenge of the Myth (Opinion) - CNN.com



(CNN)You...can...not...wait...to see "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," right? You've been waiting all year, haven't you?
If your answer is no, I'm troubled. You are suspect. We may never be best friends.
    I'm also going to assume you haven't seen the original "Star Wars" trilogy. When I hear of a choice to abstain from the biggest cultural event of my lifetime, and maybe yours, it's as puzzling as if you said "I don't read books," or "I was a feral child raised by woodland creatures."
    I have difficulty fathoming what would satisfactorily fill the huge gap in my soul if someone had extracted "Star Wars" from it. Gambling? Hard core drugs? Shopping? Watching professional sports? Organized religion?
