Just got back from seeing the midnight showing of Star Wars! No spoilers, just emotions.
It was amazing. First off, it felt like Star Wars but also with the pacing of a modern movie. It was recognizable as a cousin to A New Hope. Certain scenes were a direct homage that didn’t feel like they were trying too hard to be one. In the theater I was in people would cheer every time you saw a familiar face. Lots of applause at the end.
Tons of questions left unanswered. I am pumped and ready for more!
Most importantly, your boy, Admiral Ackbar was in it!
Man I’m glad you dug it! personally, I found it a bit underwhelming. I had it all hyped up in my head, and then set my expectations medium-low, and it landed right in the middle. I’m such a fan of the original trilogy that I’m still not quite sure yet how to digest these movies!
Btw big news on my front in releasing my ebook, I’ll email you tomorrow with an update
cheers!
