Awesome!
I was born in 85 so my generation was introduced a little differently.
I had seen all the original movies on VHS with my dad at home growing up. I remember one day asking him if we could watch all 3 of them in one day. He said there's no way anyone would do that. I still remember asking my dad to read the text scroll and subtitles too.
We saw all 3 of them when they were re-released in theaters with all the Lucas changes. I didn't even care about those I was just excited to see it on the big screen.
Fast forward to Phantom Menace. I saw this the Friday it came out. My dad and I were so excited he took the day off and I got out of school early and we watched it together and were hyped about it like crazy.
AOTC both left us pretty underwhelmed so not much to add. ROTS had us both pretty excited and we were talking about it for a while, because in our heads like most others, thought this was it.
Then TFA hit. I'll still never forget getting nailed right in the feels when you see Han and Chewie back on the Falcon, and when he started talking about Luke and the Jedi....and then stealing a quick glance to my dad and seeing it was hitting him just the same way.
But the coolest thing of all, was how we both reacted to Rogue One. I swear we stayed in the parking lot for over half an hour talking about the movie. How it ended, how it tied things together, the characters.....just all of it!
And for us it'll be Saturday. Myself, my dad, my 6 and 4 year old boys, and now my wife who's even fired up about it.
Can't! Wait!
