There Has Been An Awakening

There has been an awakening... of my childhood. I'll start by saying I'm not a prequel hater but I do prefer the original trilogy as most people do. That being said I went in cautiously optimistic about Episode VII.

 Wanted to go in baseline so I avoided trailers, articles, even people that would bring the hype into my life and boy am I glad I did! I sat in the theater and was glued to the screen it brought me back to being a little kid and my dad showing me A New Hope for the first time. No spoiler here but I laughed, I cried(not a huge revelation I cry over TV and movies all the time) and most IMPORTANTLY for 2hrs was a little kid again lost in the magic of Star Wars. When the credits rolled I could only think one thing "Thank You JJ" thank you for bringing back the magic and spectacle in Star Wars. I'd tell ya'll to just go see the movie but let's be honest you saw it already $517 million opening weekend worldwide!!!! So just see it again and then again I know I am.
