Everyone either loves the series or doesn’t know that much of it. Some students at TCHS are die-hard fans that have their opinions to show about the series, for example, Sophomore, Viviana Bittner. “I love the older movies because of Darth Vader even though his death was predictable. The older ones are predictable and the newer ones are not predictable and they always have a different outcome. They take what they think was going to happen and do the opposite or even better. The new characters in newest movies are are different genders and different race,” said Bittner. The Star Wars have come a long way but the fan will always stay for the end.
