Every person that has ever proclaimed their love for the Star Wars franchise received an early Christmas present on Monday with the release of the third and final trailer for episode VII. It is now only 1 month, 3 weeks, 6 days or 58 total days, until the movie's release. The Internet is figuratively on fire as the trailer is analyzed for Easter eggs and clues as to what the plot of the movie is, who's going to die, and who's going to live through the remaining films in the franchise.
Unfortunately, this also means that those whose opinion is not based in reality are drawing comparisons between the Star Wars galaxy & our galaxy, as discussed in this column. People that think there is racism in the Star Wars galaxy are clueless.
As for me, without blowing it all out of proportion, I am excited about the new movie. There is a book sale here at work and in the cafeteria, there is a hugely thick "Star Wars" book that can be mine for the price of $29.20 (27% off of the $40 list price). Of course, next to it is a hugely thick "Marvel Comics" book that can be mine for $28 (30% off of the $40 list price). It's been so tempting to figure out a way to purchase both books so that I may wallow in the depths of the knowledge that is contained in each! And both for under $60!
I should purchase both and give them to myself as an early birthday present as my birthday is only 1 month, 1 week, 6 days, or 44 days away.
