There are very few things I’m more excited for right now than the opening of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.
One of my earliest memories was the 20th anniversary screening of Star Wars, Episode IV: A New Hope at the now-gone Uptown Theater in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, back in 1997. I was just seven years old, and I got to see this epic world of galactic mysticism, noble codes of honor, and the ever-present duel between good and evil unfold in front of my eyes.
I was hooked.
One of the things I loved the most about these movies was that a normal, unassuming young man from nowhere special realized his true potential and become the savior of existence as we know it.
