One weekend in August, The Wife and I put a Netflix movie into our DVD player and settled onto the couch as the trailers began. The first one was for some silly re-release of the Star Wars prequels, in which Scottish actor Ewan McGregor is seen prancing about with his glowing lightsaber at full salute.
THE WIFE: “What is his name? George McGuire?”
ME: “Yes.”
