There has been an awakening.
Finally, the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens has arrived! The painfully long wait for some will end tonight, subjecting them to the greatest event in movie history. Yes, IN MOVIE HISTORY. An entire generation has been waiting to learn what happened after Return of the Jedi and 32 years later, they finally will.
This franchise means so much to so many people, myself included, that it doesn't seem real. I mean, Return of the Jedi ended the saga, right? I don't think reality will set in until I'm sitting in the theater on Thursday, waiting for the Lucasfilm logo, text, and opening crawl. Of course I'm going to cry. There's just no way that we aren't going to be emotional before, during and after this movie. We'll no longer be talking about what happened before, but what will happen next.
For many of us, Star Wars shaped our childhood, and has made us into the very people we are today. I know Kristian Harloff, Tiffany Smith, Mark Ellis and John Campea will be at the premiere today, and I couldn't be more happy for them. Due to their commentary on Jedi Council and Far, Far Away, I have become an even bigger Star Wars fan than I was before.
To avoid any spoilers, I will not be writing anything until the 18th. I will keep it spoiler free until Monday the 21st.
I hope you all have an amazing experience on the 17th, or 18th, as we take another step into an even larger world.
May the Force be with you. Always.
