So, it's nearly Christmas. Yeah, yeah. Unfortunately for Santa, another little event is stealing his jingly thunder. It's called 'Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens'.
I was around when the original Star Wars movie came out - my parents took my brother and I to see it at the drive-in theatre. We were all pretty impressed, and became fans of the series, going on to watch the next two in the sequel. When 'The Empire Strikes Back' came out, I was old enough to be a proper Star Wars nerd, and around 1981 I recall sitting in our family room listening over and over to the 'Star Wars (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)'. As in so much that I could hum the whole album from Track 1, 'Main Title' to track 16, 'The Throne Room and End Title'. I can no longer do this, and I admit I did look up the names of those tracks on Wikipedia. I am not the same 'Star Wars' nerd once was.
Further evidence I am not much of a 'Star Wars' nerd anymore:
- Taking the family to watch on opening day....at 2:30pm not midnight
- Prepared for the film the lazy/time-poor way: by watching one film only - episode VI ('Return of the Jedi), though had best of intentions to go through the Machete sequence
- Couldn't find a third 'Star Wars'-related reason - case closed!
I do, however, think I can officially number myself among those who call themselves ''Star Wars' fan', after eliciting the appropriate reaction of nerdy giggles, to this cartoon:
