Probably won't get any writing done this evening. I'll be busy crossing off something that's been on my bucket list for years:
See an original Star Wars film in theaters.

The original version or the special edition?
I am interested in seeing the reaction to this making more money then the latest Star Wars.

Unfortunately, the most recent edition. 2011.
But I'll stomach Lucas's worst edit imaginable (Nooo!) for experiencing the rest of the movie on the big screen.

Hardly. Yes I'm disgusted by the amount of money Rise of Skywalker brought in, but I'm not even going to pretend a re-release is going to come anywhere remotely close.
I saw all the Special Editions in theatres... I also caught SpaceBalls when a theatre here did a classic movie marathon.
It's worth it and I wish more theatres did this sort of thing.

Huh, and I thought fans hated Han shooting second more. They were certainly more vocal about it.
Oh man. One of the perks of being a legit old fart is I'm old enought to have seen the ORIGINAL releases in the theater. Especially seeing the first one in 1977 there was nothing else like it.
I do not know the numbers for the other Star Wars for opening weekends but this made 4.7 million.

Pretty impressive for a 40 year old movie on just 475 screens.
It's technically a different film from what was shown In theaters 40 years ago with all those edits and that... that song

NOOOO is bad but for me it's the jabbas palace song that I can't stand
