Just one week before the hotly anticipated Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits theaters nationwide, TIME asked filmmaker Oscar Boyson (@skipmccoy) to explore what makes Star Wars, well, Star Wars. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Is Star Wars the ultimate public dream, a fairy tale space western that landed on earth at exactly the right time and place?” he asks “Aren’t there a ton of those in pop culture? Star Wars is just the best example, right?” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Check out more The Force Awakens coverage on TIME.com.

In the past year, 66-year-old Caitlyn Jenner has changed completely and yet not at all. Yes, the former Olympian and reality TV star came out as transgender and began living life as a woman.

Now, Jenner has jumped at what she describes as the biggest hurdle in her life with the same proffered handshakes and good humor. Watch out exclusive interview with Caitlyn Jenner, a runner-up for TIME’s Person of the Year, on TIME.com/poy (see link in profile). #TIMEPOY #caitlynjenner http://ift.tt/1Y2htTI
