Also, it wasn't just children in Star Wars clothing and toy lifesavers as when I was leaving there were three adults in the foyer posing for photographs (not sure if they were fans or paid by Cineworld) dressed as a Storm Trooper, Chewbacca and Darth Vader! There may have been another in the group but I can't be sure and, if there were four of them, don't know what character they were betraying. It seems there is something about Star Wars which captured the imagination of children and adults in 1977 and is passed on with every generation as parents introduce the films to their children and young relatives (or children of friends) which no other film series can match. |
Ha,ha if you'd just said that in the first place.
As for toy lifesavers? I assume you mean Light Sabre's and it's a translation thing.
