Hope you enjoyed it thelonius - did it sold out or near capacity? A good atmosphere and people dressing up etc? Were there many younger fans there too for the GOUT showing?

About half-full for the Star Wars screening on Saturday afternoon, but it’s a huge old theater with hundreds of seats. Mostly younger and middle-age adults, but a handful of kids. There were some lightsabers in the crowd and we got our picture with the local Darth Vader cosplayer. My kid was obsessed with Star Wars last year and has kind of moved on to dinosaurs and real space exploration, but he was way into the big-screen experience. Which is a big step, because he’s had sensory issues. He liked it so much I almost decided to stay for Empire, but I didn’t want to short-circuit his brain.

Also, it was sponsored by a local travel agency that was promoting their Galaxy’s Edge package. So there were some cool Disney things too.
