Every shot has weight. The characters are more fleshed out by this one trailer than every character in the entire prequel trilogy was. I’m not trying to get you to watch but am just building anticipation for the film ---

I’m sure I’ll see it, but I’m content to wait until a week or so after it opens, when my eldest son is home from university. He’s eager to go. ---

I’ve had my ticket for a long time: Thursday 13:00 UK time. I did - briefly - consider going to the 00:05 showing, but bluntly, I’m too old for that game. ---

The timing of release is good. I arrive home the 19, and I may be able to either go that day or the 20th to see it with my best friend, as our annual “girl date”. WOOT! 🙂 My bf, though, may not be so happy. Meh, he can watch it with his friends and we can watch it again together later. ---
