I would say that we have finally reached the end of the Star Wars saga but I highly doubt it. Star Wars fans have so many different ideas about the additions of films to the original three movies. I remember when my husband and I were first dating and he introduced me to the films. I got him a box set of the first three movies and we had to buy the new three individually. Now we have so many others added to the collection. I’ve enjoyed the new films that have been added. New characters and story lines have been enjoyable for me, but I know some who feel differently. Regardless of how you feel today is the day to add the newest release to your collection.
