If you're saddened by the steady encroachment of pop culture onto your HN frontpage, look at it like this: what a masterful piece of content marketing by the outfit behind Dear JJ.

It doesn't have much merit outside of that - the recommendations pick out a few arbitrary elements and say 'this is what made star wars great'. Classic cargo cult. Sincerely Truman may be a 'squadron of storytellers', but they don't seem understand that movies are comprised of characters.

That said, what a great soundtrack backing their Yoda scene. Wow.
