Let me preface this by saying that I do not claim to be someone who grew up loving Star Wars. When I was five, my older brother and father were going to a Star Wars premiere, and I was at home playing with my American Girl dolls. I was not interested in this world until very late, probably when I began high school in 2012.

Despite being one of the biggest pop culture franchises, Disney has struggled to get many of its Star Wars films on the screen. The latest in a string of Star Wars movies facing development issues is Daisy Ridley’s new Star Wars sequel, which shares some similarities with Henry Cavill’s Superman saga.
