On Star Wars, Sentience, And Slavery

I rewatched Star Wars:  The Force Awakens over the weekend, and as these things tend to do with me, I had some thoughts.

These Star Wars Kimonos Are From A Galaxy Far Far Away

Man, sometimes you come across something and your mouth drops open from the shock and awe it pierces to your heart. These kimonos did exactly that.

Wait, what?  This isn’t based on the Aerosmith song? It’s about a homesteading wife whose husband is filled with bullets so she seeks out a sharp-shooter to help her finish off the band of bad guys before they return to finish the job?  And the bad guy is Ewan McGregor?

YOU MEAN THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT PADME TRYING TO KILL OBI-WAN?!?!

Oh hell yes.
