    I was 12 when that came out, and while I recognized it wasnt good, the pod racing was cool enough I wasn’t too upset to have seen it. I did not watch the next two in theaters, we just rented them.

      I’m old enough to have been a big fan of the originals and drove with friends to see it opening night

      It was a really fucking bizarre experience. The crowd in the theater was packed, and ecstatic for new Star Wars. There was cheering and whooping when tbe title came up, etc. It was all fans.

      But during the walk out of the theater…NO ONE TALKED. Like, literally no one. Everyone just silently shuffled out.
