Star Wars: The Force Awakens….tonight…Science Center of Iowa…10:00 show. I’m there…and I can’t wait.
I thought that once I got to high school, I was done with Star Wars…still loved it, but wouldn’t have ever been spotted in a Star Wars shirt…and then college, I was excited to see the prequels…and then horribly disappointed. I mean…horribly disappointed…3 of the worst movies ever made.
Now…the Force Awakens…and having a 5 year old son….my Star Wars nerd-dom is back in full effect…in full FORCE! I mean, I’m wearing a BB-8 droid shirt as I type this this morning.
Force Awakens gets to go to a new whole world…I’m so excited about this. The prequels had to follow a set story line…Anakin eventually has to become Darth Vader…but here, in this world, everything is new. Who is Finn? Who is Rey? Why’s Chewie’s arm bandaged up?
Where’s Luke?
Who is Kylo Ren?
By the way…Kylo Ren? I could not be more obsessed with him. I use my son as an excuse…but it’s a cover-up. Yes…I would like a Kylo Ren lightsaber as well!
Tomorrow…I will post a review of The Force Awakens…but have no worries, I will post nothing spoiler-ish.
To all my fellow Star Wars nerds…see you at the Science Center tonight!
