My good friend Dan Zehr offers his thoughts and feelings on the imminent arrival of The Force Awakens – for some of us it’s only 7 days away – over at his always sumptuous site Coffee With Kenobi.
As longtime Star Wars consumers, the next week is among the most anticipated and exciting moments of our collective fandom. While it is hard to believe that a brand new chapter in the Star Wars saga is upon us, the reality of the situation is that we will be sitting in theaters sooner, rather than later, and will finally discover what has happened to these incredible characters that have contributed to the zeitgeist of popular culture. As Freddie Prinze Jr. recently said on Coffee With Kenobi, Star Wars is the ultimate I.P. (intellectual property), and as consumers of this franchise, the frenzy that is The Force Awakens is almost unprecedented.
