Remember there was a group of hundreds of fans who camped out on Hollywood Blvd for 6 weeks to be first ones in to see the Star Wars prequels? Well it’s official, they will not be doing it again for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. A source told me that with reserved seating it no longer makes sense. Plus, the force is no longer as strong with him after Episode I, Episode II and Episode III, and I am sure others who lined up with him feel the same way.
I am bummed they won’t be doing it because for some reason it made the franchise seem more special than it already is. What other movie has fans camping out for 6 weeks to see it? Without them being lined up in their tents and on their blankets in front of Mann’s Chinese, it just doesn’t seem the same.
I mean, I am sure, they will be there for the midnight screenings, but it just won’t be the same for me. But then again, don’t tell them I still haven’t seen most of Episode II and all of Episode III.
Anyways even though I am not a fan of the prequels, the trailer for the Episode VII makes me want to see it. I won’t be camping out for it or there at midnight, but I will be there when it comes to my $3 theater or when my source brings it over the Blu-ray for us to watch.
How excited are you for Star Wars: The Force Awakens?
