Opening night for The Force Awakens at the Cape West 14 Cine in Cape Girardeau.

This week it's a Star Wars themed show. We've got band named from references to the films, adoration for its main characters, and lines slipped in there to find out who's paying attention. 

Star Wars has been so important to pop culture that of course its impact would make its way to pop music, and it seems especially so in the late '90s, which is about the time that childhood fans of the series started writing pop songs. 

In the show I mention this profile in The Guardian on Carrie Fisher, definitely check that out.
