The Wait for THE LAST JEDI is Over

The Last Jedi Viewing
Photo-A-Day #4629

Today I met Brian with Built from Bricks over at the movie theater. He bought tickets on the day that they came out. I was lucky that he bought me one, too. He got the first two tickets for the theater and we were the only people in the theater for weeks leading up to the movie. Then this morning he said that it was sold out. That is a good thing since I wanted to see it with a crowd and feel the energy of the moviegoers. I know that I can never, ever recreate the incredible excitement of seeing Thor Ragnarok with the cast and creators. That was incredible. But I wanted to get an excited audience and feel that energy.

While the movie was really good, I enjoyed it a lot. I look forward to seeing it again with Eva. Eva and I talked about the movie all the way to Dance rehearsal tonight. I don’t want to give anything away about the movie but I will give you some of my thoughts after you check out this new featurette.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Premiere Images And New Featurette

Star Wars The Last Jedi PremiereOn Friday Brian from Built from Bricks and I will be seeing Star Wars: The Last Jedi. I cannot wait to see this movie. Two years ago when Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out I was able to see a sneak preview of the movie and it was fantastic. I was so excited to see a new, and really well done, Star Wars movie. I am not a fan of the prequels but these sequels have been very entertaining. Or rather, one sequel and a stand alone movie that tied right in to A New Hope. Last year’s Rogue One was a such a great movie and the characters were fantastic. I especially liked Baze Malbus and Chirrut Imwe.

Well, on December 10th the premiere of Star Wars: The Last Jedi happened and it was an incredible pull out all the stops event. Stars Mark Hamill, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Lupita Nyong’o, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie, Kelly Marie Tran, Laura Dern and Benicio Del Toro were joined by writer/director Rian Johnson and producers Kathleen Kennedy and Ram Bergman for a walk down the red carpet where they greeted enthusiastic fans at the world premiere of Lucasfilm’s STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI. This looks like it was an amazing event. They had Storm Troopers, Imperial Guards and more also walking the red carpet. How fun is that!

Some friends of mine went on a trip to interview the cast of Star Wars: The Last Jedi and were also on hand for a large press conference with the cast. they didn’t see the movie but they had a once in a lifetime trip none-the-less. I look forward to sharing with you the thoughts I have on the movie once I see it on Friday morning with Brian. But until then I can watch this new featurette all about the new worlds in STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI:
