....Always two there are

    I just got back from watching Star Wars: The Force Awakens .  I had a weird sense of closure/things coming full circle.  As I mentioned in this post My dad, the first time I saw a Star Wars movie was when I was 5 to Empire, and today it was me and my six year-old son, Clark.  I really enjoyed it.  It doesn't match my sense of nostalgia for the first trilogy, but there was something groundbreaking about the first Star Wars that will be hard to duplicate.  Andy and Michael Leyland give a good synopsis/review on their latest podcast: http://twotruefreaks.com/download.php?id=2331.  They talk about how their has been a trilogy for each generation and how somewhere out there is the generation this new trilogy is for.  I think there right, and I was sitting next to him.  He cackled at the antics of BB-8, gasped at the evil of Kylo Ren, and was smitten with Rey.  You know what?  That's okay.  Part of being a parent is passing things on and sometimes that means letting go.  Who knows?  In another 20 years, maybe my grandson or granddaughter will be going to see Star Wars Episode 24 with their dad.
