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.
