Social Get In Line, NSA Edition - A Social Countdown to The Mandalorian and Grogu

Meh, I don't think so... it can make the experience a lot more fun & fulfilling.

I'm not.

 

Hah!! That's awesome...even full-screening it doesn't show you anything!

 

When I first saw that I was confused, then I was like, Marvel you are hilarious

 

Now that we know Harrison Ford is OK, I thought you guys would like these if you haven't yet seen them:



^Apparently it may not have been an accident

 

I guess I have to answer my own question. Unlike most of you guys probably, I'm more what you would consider the "casual mainstream star wars fan". As my profile pic kind of shows, people don't think I'm a nerd/geek, and neither do I.

Random thought, I think that the online geeky SW community sometimes forgets that they are in the minority among Star Wars fans, even though they may have the loudest, or even the only, online voice.

 

Most of my friends/family/coworkers all know I'm a SW fan, but I don't really think they view me as a geek/nerd. Partially because SW is really the only ostensibly nerdy/geeky thing I'm into, but also because I think SW fandom in and of itself doesn't necessarily equate to being a big nerd/geek in the first place (as Frank T. pointed out).

 

Hope Harrison's okay he's been getting hurt a lot lately.

 

Scars are badass!

 

I still can't imagine myself sitting in a cinema watching this film. It just seems crazy to me. I'm a teenager, so for all of my life, I've seen the SW films at home on DVD and never thought they'd be making a sequel trilogy. I've never even experienced the hype of a new Star Wars film (except for ROTS, but I hardly even knew what that was at the time and can't remember anything). It's just started to hit me that it's actually happening. To be sitting in a theatre full of people and friends watching a brand new Star Wars film with Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher just seems so surreal. The most exciting thing (that I still can't wrap my brain around) is hearing that blast of John Williams with "Star Wars" fading into the background to roll the opening crawl.

I'm embarrassingly excited for this, and sadly, I don't have a clue how I will be able to wait until December. I may have to pull a Cartman on this...

 

We're in the same boat. The Phantom Menace is older than me, and I've never seen Star Wars in the theaters in my life! Can't wait.

 

Same here. 2000?

 

1999, grade 9. Episode I is older than me by a couple months.

 

I'm 34, got to enjoy all the hype surrounding each of the prequels, and I still feel that way!

 

I'm 27 - TPM was released right around my 12th birthday, so that was the perfect time to be caught up in the kid-like wonder of it all. For AOTC and ROTS, I was then old enough to be hanging around here (I used a different username then) for all of the excitement and build-up to those. Glad to be doing it all again!

 

I'm 40. I was 3 when SW (ANH) came out in '77; I saw it in the theater in '78 when I was 4. My son is 8 and is a big SW fan, so we'll obviously be going to see TFA together. This will actually be his second time seeing SW in a theater, since we went to the 3D re-release of TPM. But this is obviously going to be a much bigger deal... I still can't quite believe it's later this year.

 

I was a senior in high school when TPM came out (I totally ditched study group for exams to see it. Then I ditched again to watch it again.) Can I tell you, after waiting for years, the best part of a new Star Wars movie is the crawl. It makes it real that there's a new Star Wars.

 

Maybe more.

 

I was 12, in the 7th grade, while Shaq & Kobe had yet to win anything for the Lakers. 16-years later*, I'm 28, currently unemployed, Shaq's been retired for 4-years & Kobe's career is near an end. The JC has almost been the constant during those years.



*But the Lakers have won 5 titles (3 with Shaq & Kobe) during that time!

 

I was between the the ages of 10-17 as The Bulls won 6 championships. Oh, wait, we're talking about SW.

(6 w/Michael and Scottie)

 

I remember a friend of mine wearing his bandwagon Bulls hat to theater when we saw TPM on May 19th.

 

Good taste but maybe a little late to the party.

 

I never saw him wear that hat again.

 

Bulls/Blackhawks/Sox is not a fashion statement when I wear it.
