I think we all know what event sucked the air out of everything this week: The premiere of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
My family and I caught the 6pm showing on Thursday night. The theater wasn't packed, but there was a sizable audience. My one-sentence blurb is this:
"Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is a rousing, joyful, exuberant, and emotional film that not only successfully brings to a close the story of one family, over nine movies, and 42 years, but does so in a manner that is both nostalgic and fresh."
I'll have more thoughts after I spend more time thinking about it and seeing it again.
The event also prompted me to write an open thank you letter to George Lucas, because without him, none of this exists.

This "Year of an Indie Writer" series has been a fun experiment. I have one more week, but this will be the last here at DoSomeDamage. The series has changed and morphed over the year, as I expected it would. I didn't do all that I wanted to this year, but that's what 2020 is all about. I also accomplished things I never would have expected. I'm looking at you, Kevin Smith films and the start of a new book series.
It's been a fun year here at DoSomeDamage. We celebrated our tenth anniversary. Hard to believe on some days, but a quick glance at the Blog Archive over there on the right says it all. Man, am I honored to be included among all the writers who have contributed here.
But without readers and the larger community, we're just talking among ourselves. Thank you, readers, for your continued support, reading, commenting, and the overall community
I gave some thought to what I should do next year as a series--or to leave altogether--and decided I'll keep to the Indie Writer theme with something extra: Detailing how I'll be opening an online bookstore.
Have a safe holiday season, and, on behalf of everyone here at DoSomeDamage, see you next year!
