I sat down to read Ryan Miller’s “A new hope” (Dec. 15) just after watching a two-day Star Wars marathon on Spike TV (all six movies).
After watching some documentaries on the History Channel, with experts explaining the relevancy of George Lucas’ ideas, I became a fan. One could almost formulate a religion based on his concepts.
My neighbor, age 10, and I share this common interest. He made me a Lego X-wing. I gave him a remote-controlled Millennium Falcon.
By the way, I am 72 years old and am marking Dec. 16 on my calendar for next year.
May the Force be with you always.
