This is just the coolest thing.

It’s just the coolest.

The 2nd trailer for Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens gave me goosebumps when I watched it…okay, watched it a half-dozen times yesterday. I even got a bit misty-eyed….it just brought back all the good feelings & memories of Star Wars.

My son is 4 1/2….and he’s been asking to see the original Star Wars now for the past month…and after some wheelin’ & dealin’ on Amazon, finally found a good price on the original trilogy, so his “dream” will become a reality after 5-7 business days.

I’m excited to re-visit the original trilogy…especially with my son….who only knows of these characters from what he’s heard at daycare, Star Wars Clone Wars, and the fact that he knows light sabers are cool.

Back to the new trailer…

I couldn’t get past the first 25 seconds without rewinding it a few times…was that a destroyed Imperial Destroyer? AWESOME. Awe….some. So that’s where they all ended up after Return of the Jedi.

Then…to Darth Vader’s mask…holy cow. Fantastic. It’s grotesque…it’s terrifying…it’s beautiful.

Then the ending….Han Solo….Chewbacca …. “Chewie…we’re home”.

Goosebumps…deployed.

By the way…was that a Harrison Ford sighting of him emoting enthusiasm? We haven’t seen that in quite awhile.

I know I get excited about every new thing…except for the Batman/Superman movie…I saw the “leaked” trailer for that…and it didn’t give me anything I was hoping for…this trailer did.

I might have to get a video of what my son thinks after seeing the first Star Wars…I think he’ll be excited…I think he’ll have questions…questions that will be too smart for me to answer.

AWESOME is as AWESOME does!
