May the 4th be with you ...


Star Wars Day (it’s a boy thing): It’s inescapable that for many people Star Wars was an integral part of their childhood and growing up, the most important piece of cinema ever. Yeah it maybe a bit sad, but it was that important.
I’ve watched hundreds of films (maybe thousands), many better than Star Wars, but when push comes to shove if asked “What’s your favorite film?” without hesitation I’d say Star Wars- A New Hope (not The Empire Strikes Back (undoubtedly a better film), Return Of The Jedi and especially not the trio of prequels that George Lucas unleashed between 1999 & 2005)
There is a question: What is your favorite dinosaur?
Men usually tend to have a favorite dinosaur*, women usually not so tend to answer “Tyrannosaurus Rex” ‘because it’s the most famous. I wonder if there’s a similar question regarding Star wars characters.
Men (boys) would present a myriad of answers*, whereas I’d expect women to answer to answer Han Solo (‘cause he’s the hunk), Princess Leia (‘cause she’s a lady) or Darth Vader (‘cause he’s the best known- probably the most famous cinema villain)
Perhaps a bit of Facebook research in in order?
*Triceratops and Chewbacca in case you’re interested.
