Sara_R: I want to see a movie soon, but I don’t—
Jessica: Star Wars! Can we go see Star Wars?
Sara_R: So you’re a fan?
Jessica: Yeah. I mean, you’re not a fan?
Sara_R: I’m not really into sci-fi, but I guess I could check it out.
Jessica: It’s going to be so good! I mean, it’s building on these characters that we have been learning about for years and years. I think I saw the first Star Wars movie when I was… I don’t know, I must have been under ten years old.
Sara_R: And there’s a spaceship, or…?
Jessica: Yes. There are many spaceships and aliens, so in that sense, yes, it’s sci-fi, but there’s just so much more to it.
Sara_R: Like the universe.
Jessica: Yeah, but it’s also about good and evil and just these bigger concepts. But then, you know, the characters are really fun, and…
Sara_R: All right, that does sound pretty awesome.
Jessica: I think it’s worth a try. Maybe, we could watch the first few movies, so you could learn about them.
Sara_R: OK, OK, let’s do it.
Jessica: Awesome.
