STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS World Premiere

Blog· Entertainment· MOVE

Move over R2-D2, there’s a new droid in town. This gal remembers seeing Star Wars: A New Hope (remember, there was no “Episode IV” at that time) in 1977 at a theater in Bayside, Queens.  It was my first glimpse at my man, Harrison Ford.  That attraction has grown through the many years, and though I love a guy in a Fedora, to me he has always been Han Solo.  When I heard that Harrison would reprise his role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens I went weak in the knees.  And I don’t swoon easily…

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS World Premiere

It seems the past few years have been all Star Wars, all the time. For true fans, it is an out-of-this-world development. For others, like me, it’s wait and see. But that does NOT include the reprisal cast.

So I was shocked that there might be room in my Jedi heart for another.  You’ll be the first to know.  I’m head over heels for BB-8!  Though I dressed as R2-D2 for the inaugural Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend, this year I’m planning a BB-8 costume for my upcoming Rebel Challenge. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a hit for old broads like me, but there is plenty of new blood for multigenerational appeal.

    Princess Leia (now General Organa) is still at the top of my list of characters. I’ve always loved and admired her, and I always will.
