"I wore my best Boba Fett t-shirt for the occasion." I think this says it all! Delightfully, I might add :) I'm so happy you got to share that experience with your son. That is seriously really special and very sweet. A perfect beginning to a new tradition :)
Phantom Menace gets a bad rap, but I like that film. I remember really enjoying the pod race, and when other people complain about it, I just get confused, haha. I even like Jar Jar, so I do not know if I am the best judge of things out there.
I thought they handled the Queen's passing well in The Crown. The way she walked off screen in the church, with the light shining down, felt like a metaphor for her leaving this world behind.
Your post got me thinking about everything that has happened in my life since Phantom Menace. I had just finished my freshman year of college when the movie was released. Then I saw it again last week as someone who, at least by all outward appearances, is a functioning adult. Even if I was seeing a 25 year old movie by myself at lunchtime on a Friday. It was worth seeing it again in the theater just for the pod race and the final duel.
Totally agree. I kept questioning if it was even worth it to go. Especially since my son has seen it a bunch too. But you can't top the sheer spectacle of the theater experience.

I'm just happy he wants to hang out with me 🤓

Yes! That's a good point. I thought they handled that whole storyline with great tact, especially since she recently passed away.
Fairy Tale is such a good read
