Can you imagine seeing Star Wars for the first time?
I don't know how many of you know my friend/associate Ifechukwude "Ify" Nwadiwe. He is a member of my comedy group and a hugely funny guy. Recently he admitted to the team that he has never seen the original Star Wars trilogy. I sprung into action and got him Empire Strikes Back for Christmas. I know, it seems blasphemous for me to start him on Episode 5 rather than New Hope, but I really wanted to start him on one of [if not what I feel to be] the best of the original trilogy. Plus, lest we forget, every single Star Wars movie opens with all the pertinent information the audience needs to know.
Ify is a good friend despite the fact that we are utter opposites in many ways. For example, I abhor Twitter and other trendy internet fads while Ify Tweets/post more to Facebook than anyone else I know. I stand by my stance that no one on the planet is interesting enough to warrant a constant internet feed of their every unyielding thought, but every so often Twitter offers a unique window into peoples minds while they are at their most honest. The following are Ify's Tweets upon watching Empire for the first time (posted in chronological order):
Oh lando, I don't trust you! - about 3 hours ago from UberTwitter
DAMN YOU LANDO!!!!!!!! - about 3 hours ago from UberTwitter
Don't tell them anything solo! - about 3 hours ago from UberTwitter
R2! Your loud ass alerted boba fett! - about 3 hours ago from UberTwitter
Can someone put C3PO on mute - about 3 hours ago from UberTwitter
Ho shit! His arm got cut off! - about 2 hours ago from UberTwitter
What happened to luke's father? - about 2 hours ago from UberTwitter
No No, not true! That's impossible...NOOOOOOO...NOOOOOOO! - about 2 hours ago from UberTwitter
Thank you for this, Ify. I'm glad you enjoyed your first proper Star War. Now you know how cool Han Solo is, and why I'm having trouble deciding which of his quotes I want to get for my next tattoo. It's between "I know" and "Never tell me the odds!"
