Today on Page Turners They Were Not, I wanted to give my thoughts on the overuse of the word "filler", and how it is often incorrectly used.

As soon as the first teaser for The Force Awakens launched in November of 2014, speculation exploded as to the origins and/or family descent of the three lead characters of the Sequel Trilogy.
