    Sand that can’t be a touch of nostalgia for our enemies we could understand?

    Jackie, for some it is a nostalgia for which they have a memory. In Moscow all things Soviet has a new appeal. Thanks Putin?

    sandcastler ™, if we gave a Bronx cheer in honor of Russia’s president, would that be a Ras-putin?

    Steve in Royal Oak, MI, Of course it had a slow start. How long has it been between the last of the original series and this one? Lot of catching up to do. Personally thought it was the best since the first one in 1977. Consider the 3 prequels George Lucas’ bad dream and forget them. Liked the ending of this one. Can’t say why, because the other people here might not have seen it yet. To those who saw the original movie and liked it, go see this one.

    Mark, good one!!

    Taking my date to Star Wars on Christmas Eve. Sure we will enjoy it as much as the first one. I am a big fan of Star Wars, wife leans towards Star Trek. Swash buckling capitalism versus socialism?

    Mark, you are getting good with those puns!

    Sand, I am sure you are right . I have been told and read that China’s now wealthy are buying back Chinese antiques at extreme prices because of the nostalgia wave there.

    I think that we have our sequels crossed.

    Jerry in FL, the way George Lucas described it, the original Star Wars movie was number IV in a projected series of IX. The following movies were V and VI. Then he went back and made I, II, and III, which are the ones I said should just be considered his bad dream and ignored. The latest movie is numbered VII in the opening credits. So between The Return of the Jedi VI, and now The Force Awakens VII, 32 years have elapsed in real time, and the moviemakers did not ignore the long gap. As I said, a lot of catching up to do.
