Star Wars - The Rise of Skywalker



It's finally here. Here's a great piece centred on JJ Abrams and then the final trailer.

1: Have a Good Time

This is a poem. Take it. Pack it up
the mountain. You will meet a man
who says it is an ice-axe. Give it to him. Tell him

he should take it out to sea until
he meets a man who calls it a harpoon.
Follow. Watch them. Let them fight about it. 

Robert Bringhurst (1975)

Before Us

will we travel
to the city where
so much happened
before us     where once
you asked me    and I

couldn't    will we go
to a place   where the past
is new    tell me
this winter morning

where that past is hiding

The Anniversary. Couldn't let the moment drift by without some mention in JFTT. The record is iconic and the film is the thing and it's celebrated here!
