To be honest, I want a Star Wars “Story” with a story worth telling. I don’t really care how rebels got the plans for the Death Star, or how Han and Chewie met, or what Obi-Wan did for 18 years on Tatooine — unless there’s a compelling narrative worth unpacking.

In other words, I’m much less interested in the minutiae of Star Wars than I am in clever and interesting dramatic storytelling. I fell in love with Star Wars because the movies were great; I don’t think the movies are great because I love Star Wars.
