It's December 12th. I haven't seen Star Wars: The Last Jedi yet. The fanboy excitement is starting to overwhelm me, though, which is why I've been sitting here watching YouTube videos about Star Wars for the past half hour.

The fact is that you can't appeal to everyone, so instead, why not focus on one area that you can carve ...
