Harrison Ford

Harrison Ford lived in this home in the 1950s.

We all have to pay the bills and whatever we have left over, we use toward entertainment... And what better way to entertain yourself than by hunkering down with a good movie?

The original Star Wars was driven by nostalgia for pulp magazines, Saturday-morning serials, and a simpler era with clear-cut heroes and villains. The new Star Wars is driven by nostalgia for the original Star Wars, and a simpler era when that title evoked words like “adventure” and “excitement,” and not words like “the taxation of trade routes,” and “Jar Jar Binks.” The characters in Star Wars: The Force Awakens are all searching for something of great importance to the galaxy far, far away. I won’t reveal what this MacGuffin is, but I will tell you what it represents: that old Star Wars magic. Can director J.J. Abrams and the rest of the saga’s new creators find it?

We are 15 days away from the premier of Star Wars Episode 7, The Force Awakens. With that comes all the press junkets and late night show visits.
