Pretty good satire, though it triggered a bit of melacholy in me.

“Pretty good satire, though it triggered a bit of melacholy in me.”

I remember having a conversation with my father 35 years ago - when he was still alive - about the fact that just about all the people who filled the movie screens and airwaves of his youth with entertainment and music had died. Looking back I now know my father was talking about his own mortality as well. When I watched the most recent installment of Star Wars I enjoyed sure enough but I couldn’t help but get a little melancholy knowing that 38 years had passed from the first Star Wars movie came out in 1977. I wasn’t just watching the end of beloved movie character, I was seeing my end coming closer on the horizon. I’m not trying to be maudlin. I’m just trying to deal with the inevitable. . . because it is inevitable.
