I know I know, it's a cult classic, and yes I haven't seen it until now..."Star Wars," known for its epic fandom and quotable lines, just wasn't a part of my life growing up. I never had a real reason to watch it, and even though plenty of friends had the same outcry when I told them as such, none of them made the effort to make me watch this beloved film.
That is until I told my boyfriend, who then started to see me in a different, less flattering way. This brings me to Sunday night where, bolstered with BBQ and Girl Scout cookies, my boyfriend, his parents, and I settled in to watch Episode IV--technically the first one--of Star Wars, what follows are my thoughts on the classic movie:
1. Wait, why am I watching Episode IV, first? Shouldn't movies be done in order?
2. Wow, this really was done in the '70s.
3. Why do I feel like I'm missing something?
4. Where's Luke Skywalker and Hans Solo already? Oh, there they are.
5. So you're telling me that Yoda is not behind the force in this movie?
6. I'm disappointed.
7. Wait where's the "Luke, I am your father" quote?
8. Ha, you read that in the voice.
9. So no Yoda, no quote, and Luke is already in love with Leia who's his sister.
10. Oh God, they kissed. Hasn't anyone ever heard of incest?
11. Why was the important to the plot? Why can't anyone just have a happy ending?
12. Well, movies over. That was so good!
13. Wait, there are seven more?! Ugh.
