    That’s a good way to get around the usual Vincent AdultMan e-bullying nonsense for sure. Only the most hardcore and dedicated Vincent AdultMen would try to e-bully someone for watching something with their kids.

      One of the funniest and depressing things I read in recent years was some dude saying “dune is proof you can make a star wars film for adults” and all I could think was “you are so close to understanding star wars is for children but still so far away.”

        It’s for children, yes, and it can also a good time for adults as long as the adults don’t get utterly absorbed into it.

          For sure. I mean it’s “all ages” entertainment. Who doesn’t like seeing Chewbacca throw around some space nazis. But people take it too far. I feel bad for the kid who played Anakin. The star wars nerds really raked him over the coals and just… that poor boy never deserved that hate.
