A long time ago in a galaxy far far away

"Ted, the only people in the universe who haven't seen Star Wars are the characters in Star Wars and that's 'cause they LIVED them, Ted. They LIVED the STAR WARS."

Tonight, Allie and I got to relive our childhoods and act like we were 10 again....by seeing Star Wars and geeking out about it all week...and we will most likely continue geeking out about it for a few weeks to come.

Does Jar Jar Binks annoy me? OF COURSE HE DOES. I think he's the worst character created in the Star Wars universe. Did this stop me from enjoying the movie? No. I still had so much fun. And as a Star Wars fan, I reserve the right to complain about things like Jar Jar...or Yoda no longer being a puppet. (Really, George Lucas, stop ruining my childhood. It's okay. You can stop now.)

But there's something about the blue words on a black screen that read "a long time ago in a galaxy far far away" that make me bounce up and down in my seat like a 5-year-old. And something about the opening strains of the main theme that put the silliest grin on my face.

I had an awesome time. And I WILL suffer through watch the next one when it comes out. I just need them to get to the original trilogy already...and not have them be release in 3D...because come on. They weren't meant to be in 3D. Just release them again. Trust me, people will still go see them. If you play them, they will come. (wait that's not how that saying goes....)
