There were “smiling faces†from the crowds exiting the Los Angeles premiere of The Force Awakens on Monday night. Amongst these, presumably, were Disney executives ecstatic that the $4bn they paid George Lucas for franchise rights looks to have been a sound investment.

Got my ticket - and reserved seat - for opening night!

“You mean you cannot have an opinion without a stick up your butt?”
Logic 101 here: You can have an opinion but be careful that it isn’t driven by that stick.
