In honor of Star Wars Week, I have a confession to make - I've never actually seen Star Wars...like at all. This isn't like I've seen bits and pieces. I have never seen even a minute of any of the movies. And contrary to just about everyone I've ever spoken to, I'm ok with it. It's not the sci-fi thing. I actually like sci-fi and fantasy - I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan, and some of the Marvel movies are awesome! But I just don't get the whole star wars thing.
I think it might have something to do with how big it all is. You have to remember like 12 hours worth of crap before watching the next movie. That's a lot of plot lines to remember when there's a few years (or decades) between the movies. Remembering what happened in the previous Harry Potter book from the summer before was bad enough. Remembering who C3PO vs. R2D2 is just a pain in the neck.
So you can imagine, with all the hub bub around Star Wars, how super excited I am with seeing it all the darn time. It's EVERY WHERE. It's on clothes, toys, grown up toys, vehicles, subway sandwich and about a million other items I have no desire to purchase. I'd like to say that I'm a huge fan of any and all romantic comedies. I've never been able to purchase a robot from Love, Actually or a a fancy Bridget Jones dress. I'm pretty sure that's somehow sexist. Right?! At the very least, it's darn annoying.
From all the reviews, I'm hearing the movie will be fantastic, so I don't foresee it going away any time soon. Though, I'd really like it if we could just go back to Santa and Christmas all day every day. I actually miss that. And afterall, Chewbacca just can't pull off a fancy suit and hat like good old Saint Nick!
