Some Wisdom on The Force Awakens…

Now before I begin, you must know that I am a geek. I get obsessed over things very easily. Sometimes I obsess over something for a short period of time and then completely drop it, and other times it sticks. Star Wars, for instance, stuck. Now, this is a different situation because I didn’t choose Star Wars, Star Wars chose me. Please, you say, you’re probably one of those big time nerds. I would say you’re right. The fact is, though, that the gift of Star Wars has been passed on to me from my father. I grew up with Star Wars, building the Legos, watching the movies, playing with the toys. It almost feels like… like… I’m destined for something greater! Uh… ok… maybe not… but you get it. Star Wars is part of who I am. All this leads to my point.

A couple of nights ago I went to Star Wars: The Force Awakens with none other than my dad. Hopefully, I’ll get to go again, maybe with some friends, but it was vital for me to go with my father. See above. Yes, it was opening night. It started at 9:45 pm and got over at 12:00 am. It was a long night, but let me tell you. It. Was. Worth. It. Since I am a Star Wars geek, I went into the theater guessing that Disney had ruined the franchise with this one movie. Boy was I ever wrong. This movie was amazing. It had everything from references to the previous films to the perfect building blocks of a new story. Humor, action, drama, this was a wonderful film. Nevertheless, you can’t top the originals. You just can’t. You could argue that this had better cinematography, and you would be right. It did. But there’s something about the old movies (I’m talking A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, people) that makes it feel like it’s perfection. All I’m saying is that The Force Awakens was a worthy successor.

So, some wisdom on Star Wars: The Force Awakens, go see it! As soon as you can! I could go on about this movie for hours and lately it’s been my topic of discussion whenever I run into a friend. I can’t wait for the eighth film coming in 2017!
