At the end of Return of the Jedi; Luke, Leia, Han, and their friends are enjoying the fruits of a hard-fought victory over the Empire. Their victory over evil seems earned too. Over the course of three movies, they suffered plenty. Luke lost a hand and watched both a father figure and his actual father die before his eyes, Leia was witness to the genocide of her home planet, Han was frozen in carbonite, and Lando seems to have lost that sweet cape he was rocking in Empire Strikes Back.
And now the Force Awakens seems to have reset everything. The good guys are still a ragtag band of rebels fighting and evil empire (with storm troopers and everything). I realize they're going by different names in the new movie, but the idea is the same. So what changed after the battle of Endor? Were all of the sacrifices of Luke, Leia, and Han for nothing?
I've got a bad feeling about this...
Tune in tomorrow for more ramblings about a galaxy far, far away.

Redo with Relief Society showing up?
ReplyDeleteGood call, their the ones that really get things done in a ward.
DeleteI agree, but I love the satire of thinking Leia would ever have such diligent home teachers.
DeleteRelief society showing up would be believable but it wouldn't be comical.
