Well, I only got really really really excited for TFA, RO and TLJ literally hours before leaving for the theater on opening night. But I got so excited I couldn’t even sit down. I walked a total of 6 miles inside the kitchen on the afternoon before TFA’s opening. And I think the same will happen for the next Star Wars movies, just like it did for RO and TLJ.
I never got that excited for superhero movies after The Dark Knight Rises anyway so I guess there’s that. Up until 2016 I’d still go opening night for superhero movies just because I enjoy opening nights, but not because I was excited for the movie itself.
Star Wars is still in a league of its own for me, and this still hasn’t changed. I really hope it doesn’t change at all. But we’ll see.
