Just watched Star Wars with my girlfriend for the first time. She loved it. Remarkably not only has she never seen it but also knows nothing about it, not even the characters or story or themes. It’s such an amazing experience getting to watch it with somebody that is experiencing it with new unspoiled eyes and ears. Like she doesn’t even know that
SPOILER
darth Vader is Luke’s father =)
so she’s gonna be thrown for a loop in the next one and I can’t wait to see her reaction.
She loves it. I had to make her promise not to Google the next one. This is an experience I honestly thought I would never get to have unless it was with a child. Never thought I would get to do this with an adult. I mean sure plenty of adults haven’t seen it but few don’t know at least some of the story bits.
She doesn’t know if she believes Vader is Luke’s father or not. But she loved TESB. And getting to experience her hearing Vader say he is Luke’s father when she actually didn’t see it coming or expect it was a thrill I can’t describe. It was like I could feel the suspense in the air coming off of her and I suddenly had the feeling of wonder like it was my first time.
She was blown away. She loved the first one also but she didn’t expect this one to be good just purely on the grounds that it was a sequel.
