Star Wars: The Force Awakens
The best thing about it? I got to watch Star Wars next to my husband.
Opening credits. Giant, slightly teary smile from me.
Husband whispering 'view of space'
Opening shot of space.
Husband whispering 'pan down to planet'
Shot pans down to planet.
Husband whispering 'spaceship goes past'
Large spaceship enters frame.
Husband whispering 'surface of planet'
Cut to surface of planet.
Me, giggling 'ok, ok, we all know how this goes'
And that was the thing. We both knew how it goes. The original trilogy was a landmark feature of our childhoods. When we first met, it was part of the shorthand that told us that we had so much in common.
And we got to see a new one TOGETHER!
