My Resolution project for 2019, are you ready for it? Are you? STAR WARS! OK, the title kind of gave it away. Still. I’m so excited! Why I chose it. I love Star Wars, and I thought it would be fun to re-watch the movies in order of release date, with perhaps a bit more of a critical and appreciative eye than I have before. Once a month I will watch a Star Wars movie, and share my thoughts with you. The order will be:
- A New Hope
- The Empire Strikes Back
- Return of the Jedi
- The Phantom Menace
- Attack of the Clones
- Revenge of the Sith
- Clone Wars (animated)
- The Force Awakens
- Rogue One
- The Last Jedi
- Solo
This may or may not be the poster my brother had. I think it was actually of Luke with a lightsaber, but this is more what I remember.
See, I’m a Star Wars kid. The first movie Star Wars: A New Hope came out when I was 4 (yes, I’ve just told you all how old I am. I don’t care). I saw the movie in the theater. Granted, it was nap time and I fell asleep on my Dad’s lap, but the magic of it was not lost on me.
My brother and I collected Star Wars cards and stickers. We played Star Wars with the kids in the neighborhood, running around destroying the Empire. Of course, as the only girl on the street, I was always Princess Leia. My brother and I wanted lightsabers. I kind of still do. My brother got a glow in the dark plastic “lightsaber.” He had a poster of Luke Skywalker. I won’t lie, Luke was probably my first celebrity crush.
I couldn’t wait to go see every new installment of Star Wars, and still can’t. But now I have to confess, I haven’t seen Clone Wars or Solo, so those will be new.
This is going to be a fun year, and I look forward to sharing it with you.
May the Force be with you!
