What it's like seeing 'Star Wars' during the madness of opening night
Disney/Lucasfilm
But I am not the world's most die-hard "Star Wars" fan.
Sure, I've always enjoyed the franchise, but I was never somebody who went opening night, bought all the merchandise, and brainstormed fan theories all day.
But in the past year, "Star Wars" has basically taken over the world in anticipation of the release of "The Force Awakens." My appreciation for the franchise has grown exponentially over the past year.
Partially to avoid an onslaught of spoilers, I decided it was time to buy a ticket to see "The Force Awakens" on opening night here in New York City. Sure, it required a long wait, but two hours, instead of two weeks, in advance was good enough. It also helped to be around an intensely energetic crowd. Nights like this remind you why going to the theater is both fun and important.
"Star Wars" is, we all know, more than just a movie. Here was my experience going to my first ever "Star Wars" opening night.
