Oh God what I geek I am, Goobye all..
 

May 25th 1977 - Opening day. I was there. I still have the special oversized program that was ONLY sold the first day.

The Empire Strikes Back - Opening day I was there.

Return of the Jedi, Phantom Menace, Attack of the clones: All on opening day.

And tomorrow it ends with the final premier and I'm a nervous wreck. Ever since that day in 1980 while standing in line for hours to be the first into the theater only to have some clod behind me READING THE NOVEL shout out, "Oh my god! Darth is Luke’s father" I've been obsessed with NOT knowing anything about the movie.

Is was challenging back in the day, but now with the Internet it's just too much. From headlines on CNN to avatars on chat boards potential spoilers are everywhere! Bags of chips, radio, TV, Arrgh!!

So as soon as I finish this post I'm unplugging everything for the next 24 hours. No Internet, no TV, no shopping for food. No human interaction at all. For the theater line I will come equipped with my MP3 player, several sets of extra batteries and the best high-volume songs I can come up with. I might be def by the time I enter the theater but it's a small price to pay.

I am pathetic. Please remember me with pity. Goodbye.

I always do.

Who was that?

Gone from us like the cold wind across a Tatooine night

Fare well and may the Force be with you

So it's technically a "goodbye... for now" until he watches the movie, no?

I hope all this is worth it.

A Space-Yage.

Q: What is the Commodore's favorite Star Wars planet?

A: Tootooine, of course.


Maple floors befit you.

Moonliner, it will all be worth it! I admire you for your world-blackout until you see the movie. I fear that I may have already been given a few spoilers yesterday just by watching the news and over-hearing conversations at the mall. Load some previous "Star Wars" soundtracks into your MP3 player to set the mood. One more day to go... only one more day... :D

Love it! Wait, wrong thread. :snap:

I have read the shooting script, and read the cue names, and heard the music. I'm StarWarsScrewed.

I'm not a fan of spoilers usually, but I'm not quite a hard-to-the-core Star Wars fan, so I really don't mind. I do want to watch is of course, but we're not planning to fight the crowds on Thursday - Sunday.
