An Irish Priest Writes about “The Force Awakens” and Skellig Michael

An Irish Priest Writes about “The Force Awakens” and Skellig Michael December 31, 2015

Says he:

Since its in the zeitgeist it’s worth pointing out that for at least 400 years Skellig Michael was the site of a monastic community-from 8th to 12th century.

Merchant ships from Byzantium traded fish for wine, presumably for the celebration of the Eucharist.
The stone staircase built by the monks takes you from tide level to the virtual top where a cluster of beehive huts and a little graveyard sits.

And I can tell you that that stone staircase is quite steep!
I wonder… will The Force Awakens endure that long?

Absolutely positively not.
