The Force of Obsession: How Star Wars Took Over Our Lives
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far too obsessed… we were just normal film lovers. Then Star Wars happened. From epic lightsaber duels in the school playground to heated debates over whether The Force Awakens was a worthy sequel, this is how George Lucas and his cinematic empire ruined us. Katy defends The Force Awakens. Miles stands by The Empire Strikes Back. And somewhere in the middle, we argue about Jar Jar Binks.
