Prequelitis

Aristotle famously thought a story should begin in the middle of things, with the plot already moving along. It strikes me that George Lucas got this right when he started his first Star Wars movie with the story of Luke's coming of age.

I was very impressed by that movie, but I thank my lucky stars that I was already an adult when I saw it. This way, when I finally get around to seeing the latest prequel, I won't be having an experience of childhood hopes betrayed.

No prequel
Could equal
That first
Starburst.
