Star Wars...

Dear Nicky,

Today I went to see the last Star Wars movie. The special effects were of course great, but the story was a little uneven and clumsy in places, although it did reflect certain current political situations rather effectively. But it really made me think of you, because despite this movie's grand scope and limitless budget, it was about a father trying to do what he thought was best for his family, at least that's what I came away with, along with a case of the shivers because the theater was ice cold. Anyway, this wasn't the all-time best Star Wars movie, but it was undoubtedly the best of the "new" three. Someday, you and I will watch them all in order. We'll make a whole day of it.

Love,
Dad
