    What makes something "feel like Star Wars" to you? This is a question often asked when people are comparing new Star Wars content to what's come before.

    There's a very simple equation for determining success, and it explains why we have a massive rift within the Star Wars fan community every time there's a new film. No, there was no rift with Rogue One, but the equation explains that too. Lucasfilm will continue to be in a lose-lose situation with each new release, and that will continue until fans can change their perspectives of their own expectations. In this episode, Erik explains how audience members for each new Star Wars are like Luke entering the cave on Dagobah—they're taking too much in with them.
