SPOILER WARNING: This post is part of several this week (check out Episode I here) in which I will be breaking down, explaining, examining and discussing several different plot points in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and attempting to answer the mysteries they’ve brought up.

And yes, I know banthas aren’t hatched, but I have a feeling that the folks over at Lucasfilm are too busy ogling their bank balances right now to care about my inaccurate metaphors! As we reported yesterday, Star Wars: The Force Awakens made a mountain of money in its …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
