I am psyched that the final Star Wars movie in the 9 story franchise is coming soon.
On May 25, 1977, I was in high school and on a date with Maria something-or-other (I forget her last name). We went to dinner and decided to catch a movie. We pulled up to this theater and they were playing some sort of movie called Star Wars (never heard of it), and there was a bit of a line, but we said sure okay. We walked into the theater and it was packed, the only two seats we could find we the front row center (it seemed like just feet from the screen). So much for making out in the back of the theater! People were sitting on the floor in the aisles.
Well, the opening scene where the Imperial cruiser comes over head and is shooting at the rebel ship, was jaw dropping cool. I was instantly hooked. There had never been anything like it before that (yes, 2001 was great but did not have the action-adventure story).
So, I have seen all 8 movies on the opening day, and plan to keep my streak going for the 9th one.
Anyway, check out the latest trailer Episode 9 for the final movie. And, Maria, I hope you remember too, wherever you are.
Any other Star Wars nerds here?
