Funny or Die Video: ‘Star Wars’ Fans Therapy Group Session

Star Wars fans gather for a group therapy session to discuss the turmoil they’re experiencing as they wait for Star Wars: The Force Awakens to arrive in this Funny or Die video. All seem to agree the prequels have caused them to be so leery of the upcoming new Star Wars film that they can’t sleep, forget to pick up their kids, and are having problems with their spouses. Not even the thought of J.J. Abrams as the filmmaker behind the new Star Wars film provides much comfort because he was also behind Star Trek Into Darkness.


My favorite bit from the Star Wars Group Therapy video: “If you think about it, most of the Star Wars movies are bad. I mean, all three prequels are horrible but I am sorry – Return of the Jedi is not a good movie. Ewoks? Han Solo was a badass and now he’s just some weird doofus for the whole film. That means that only two out of the six movies were actually good. Odds are this one is going to be bad, too.”

Watch the Star Wars Group Therapy video:

The Star Wars: The Force Awakens Plot: Thirty years after the defeat of the Galactic Empire, the galaxy faces a new threat from the evil Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and the First Order. When a defector named Finn crash-lands on a desert planet, he meets Rey (Daisy Ridley), a tough scavenger whose droid contains a top-secret map. Together, the young duo joins forces with Han Solo (Harrison Ford) to make sure the Resistance receives the intelligence concerning the whereabouts of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), the last of the Jedi Knights.
