Well I Made It!
A long time ago (although not in a galaxy far, far away) ...
I took my daughter and son to see the first episode of the Star Wars trilogy and, subsequently, the next two episodes. I thoroughly enjoyed these but, at the time, I didn't think too much of them being titled Episodes IV, V and VI.
In 1999 I went along and saw Episode I, followed by Episodes II and III, only to learn that the last film in the third trilogy would not hit our screens until 2020. At that point I mentioned to my husband that perhaps neither he nor I would get to see it!
Well, the force was certainly with us and at the weekend we had a retro Saturday, going along to see Episode 9 and thereafter going for a fish tea in a local cafe.
Was it worth the wait? Well, the fish was tasty, with a crispy batter, and the chips were just as I like them.
As to the final film, I'm glad I saw it - the special effects were stunning and a few questions were answered but I wonder if I am alone in thinking more fondly of my first three experiences?
May the force be with you too!
