One offers thoughts about a film like Star Wars at one's own peril. There are twin dangers here. The first is that it's a film – a universe, an ethos, an existence – much beloved, and the danger of running afoul of the admiring centurions who guard the realm is great. The second is the sheer amount of mental and cultural space it occupies: the edifice of thought that has been built up around it is so massive that to write about it feels akin to throwing a handful of sand into a heavy wind.
