We went to see Star Wars/Force Awakens, finally. We were the only ones in the theater for a long time. Because we are old enough to know better than to go at peak times. Yeah, it was reminiscent of long ago in a galaxy far, far away. When our first son was quite young.
They did a pretty good job of not replicating everything but making it familiar in a good way. The casting is superb. Seeing the "oldsters" had it's effect. This is OUR LIFESPAN TOO! they are portraying.
So I had this "AWAKENING" thought - not that I don't know my REAL age - but once upon a time = last year, I was old-young. Still young but getting "up there".
Now I'm YOUNG-OLD! Older but with Lotsa Life Left! (not as old as Leia:)
That is how Star Wars was a trip BACK IN TIME that was a TICKET TO MY NOW.
