   I honestly don’t know what to think!!! Star Wars was my life! My childhood! I feel like Star Wars was closed with the last movie. That was the fitting puzzle piece. I don’t mind that they bought it I guess but I don’t want more movies. I was happy with them releasing them in 3D. That was all I needed. I’m trying to be hopeful but I just don’t know what to think.
