No midnight this time . . .

'Star Wars' on Track for Record Opening . . . will have to wait until 8:40pm on Thursday. For all the the die-hards, please don't break your opinions to me until around 11pm on Thursday.
Don't worry, I'll have lots to say on Friday morning as I sort through the legacy. Particularly of interest to me is
1. how Yoda knew to escape to Dagobah, so as to be protected by the 'dark side' (similar to how the Sith can be close to the Jedi Council w/o them taking notice, even denying the presence of the Sith until face to face w/Darth Maul)
2. how Organa escapes w/Amidala and Leia in his care and how Obi-Wan escapes w/Luke in his care (and why he returned him to his family on his home planet) . . . w/o Anakin suspecting that there was the reasonable chance that he may have had offspring or visitng his family in his new role
3. if the new episode's dialogue saves us from the negative conclusions of Alec Guinness (Obi-Wan in Episodes IV-VI) 28 years ago OR if the technical mastery overcomes its certain shortcomings.
Well that's enough for now . . .
