Star Wars Social Comment of the Day

Written by Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper. No comments Posted in: Life in General

This is pretty deep and insightful for a Thursday afternoon…

“What’s fascinating to me is that I grew up in a time when my friends related to Luke and now, my kids relate to Anakin. There is an interesting social comment there — that when I grew up the hero was an optimistic young neophyte who becomes this hero and the new generation’s hero is a strong-willed, ambitious and ultimately vilified protagonist who is misled and, for reasons of ego and heartbreak, literally becomes the very villain that my generation fought against.” — Director JJ Abrams
