I’m just going to put this here so I’m on record because I refuse to go along with all of the negativity that immediately hit the internet when rumors started flying a few minutes ago about a new Star Wars film.

If there is one, I’ll be in line to see it on opening night. I love the story and I love the universe in which it takes place and, even though I don’t love the choices that George Lucas has made, I’m still an enormous fan and I’m sure I always will be.

So, everyone out there can fill their Twitter and Facebook feeds with snark and a self-satisfied ironic detachment about Star Wars and its myriad problems … but if you’re ten years older than me or five years younger than me, I know I’ll see you in line for Episode VII.
