I watched ROTJ with my cousin on last Saturday.

To me it was pretty strange to hear her comments since I don’t even remember how it felt to see it for the first time. When Bib Fortuna came up, she was like “ew!”, I guess we’re too used to Twi’leks already. Then when Boushh rescued Han, she asked “who’s that?” and then when it was Leia, she asked “why did she gave Chewbacca away?” and honestly I didn’t have an answer for that, I was like I dunno… Then when they went to hyperspace with the shuttle, she was like “pretty cool, you just go to lightspeed” and I thought like what else is new, but those were fun comments. I was waiting for some laughs for like Ackbar, or Nien Nunb or the Ewoks but no, she was really sucked into it. But for me, the Ewoks… they really are getting more and more painful to see especially with others cause I was sure that she would be rolling her eyes or something but no.

I don’t remember anymore reactions, but when the credits rolled I asked what was her favorite film and she said the last one. Then I asked if she had any idea that Vader was Luke’s father and she said no. That’s great. 😃 Then we watched the trailers for TFA. I haven’t told her anything about the PT which I think she doesn’t even know of, just that TFA continues after ROTJ. When we left the movie room, she was humming SW theme, LOL. I’ve done my part!
