Star Wars redux

John C. Wright* does not like the new Star Wars because Rey is not a damsel in distress. Love it! The movie has blown away the Nutty Nuggets argument, the case that bang-bang sci-fi adventure with lots of plot and special effects also needs Young White Guy Gets Busty Babe or it’s not the real thing.

Even excerpts of Mr. Wright's indigestible prose are indigestible.

Does that man know that he is exhibiting to all and sundry the smallness and hideousness of his soul?

Aaahhhh, never mind. There's a time and place for the 16th cenutry. Mostly in the 16th century.
