After years of Lucas hype,-- months of ads and trailers, --days and nights of of the party in line, --counting down the minutes inside for the theater to go dark. I'm very nostalgic to that one moment during 'Phantom Menace' when the screen silently read "Along time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." and the audience exploded with cheers. WOW.
After such a innocent moment of hopes and dreams of all the possibility's ahead came to a slow realization that the magic was gone.
And even if george hadn't insulted the audience with Jar-Jar and metaclorine antics and delivered a great film, it would of been hard to match the anticipation that had been built up.
The 'having' isn't always as great as the 'wanting'.
Since then I don't get caught up in the pre-hype before film openings.
Now excuse me as I must get back in line for 'Transformers'.
