In this episode of Hinterlands Oneshot, we talk about the newest installment in the Star Wars movie franchise.

If you haven't seen the movie yet and you do not want to hear a bunch of the plot points, you should not listen to this podcast.

We discuss different reasons for why the movie turned out the way it did, criticize the way it is constructed as if we know better, and talk a bit about story structure and what makes a compelling story.

We also talk a bit about books and lament the apparent lack of long attention spans in today's instant gratification mindset that seems to have been brought on by the internet age and specifically by social media.
