Celebrating Force Friday - Early!

The first Star Wars* premiered May 25, 1977. I have a VERY clear memory of my parents coming home from a double date with our family friends after seeing it in the theater. I knew they saw Star Wars first to make sure it was "appropriate" for 5-year-old Jenn and my kid brother.  My mom bursts through the door, gushing about the brilliance of the storytelling, the symbolism and excitement. I'm reasonably sure I actually tugged on her sleeve as I yelled "So do we get to see it??" 

She nods. I start jumping up and down and my excitement never truly waned. (Notwithstanding Jar Jar Binks.) 

It should come as absolutely no surprise to anyone that I'm a Star Wars fan who jumped for joy when Disney acquired the franchise. My first thought was "Princess Leia is now a Disney Princess!" and my second thought was "There's no way Disney will screw up these films." 

The Force Awakens  trailers give me hope. Dare I say...A New Hope?As Disney prepares to unleash new Star Wars goodies on September 4 - Force Friday - I'm prepping my wallet (and husband) for my inevitable shopping spree. 

I'll be leaving with my daughter on a mother-daughter weekend jaunt to NYC that day so I'm celebrating Force Friday a bit early with this new creation. I hope you like it!

*Episode IV is the "First Star Wars" and Episode I is the "Fourth Star Wars" - no matter what my kids say. Lucas should count his lucky stars every single day that Jar Jar wasn't in the real First or else the franchise would have died before it even began.

    I'm Jenn

    In 1st Grade I fell in love with the Star Wars saga. 

    I absolutely LIVE for the Harry Potter universe. I'm a Hufflepuff, married to a Gryffindor. My first born is (a very kind and sensitive) Slytherin and my youngest is (quite obviously) a Ravenclaw. 

    Lord of the Rings...what can I say? Best. World. EVER.

    I've always loved all things Disney.

    The original Star Trek series sort of annoyed me because Captain Kirk drove me crazy. I did, however, have a crush on Mr. Spock. When Next Generation came out I became a true fan. The new movies rock - and I actually enjoy Kirk now (Chris Pine cracks me up). Go figure.

    I like Dr. Who a lot, but a TON of my friends are true Whovians with a vast array of knowledge, so I'm intimidated to explore that world very much. It's a personal goal of mine to learn more about it.
