“Let’s pretend that the Emperor didn’t die in the last movie and lives in the Ewok Village playset!”
“Endor Princess Leia can breath and fly in space now without a spaceship!” Oh, wait a minute...there’s something very familiar about that.
Did one of my 7 year old friends have a hand in writing TLJ?
