Frederik Tellerup ,

Cool geeky greatness!

A fun and inspiring show for any fans of Star Wars! FR's observation about how (in SW7) the cord that breaks from the Tie Fighter in Finn and Poes escape, is an analogy to Finns umbilical cord being cut, which is why he gets his human name right after. That is an awesome observation and analysis!
