Star Wars may not be my favorite cinematic franchise but it’s up there. The release of the latest entry was a reason to celebrate and let me outer nerd run the night. To say I was excited for this night was to put it mildly. I had my tickets ordered and in my possession for well over a month.
To start the night, I had to plan an epic menu. First up were the appetizers. I had potato skins and cheese sticks that I made in the oven. It’s a bit of a frat boy dish but was a childhood favorite of mine. Since Star Wars has been in my life since childhood I felt this an exciting avenue to take. They were served as guests trickled in. The entree was epic and based off a pun. I created sloppy doe’s. It’s scratch made sloppy joe’s with venison instead of beef. I served roasted Brussels sprouts and tatter tots as sides. I think almost everyone went back for seconds, myself included. To toot my own horn it all tasted awesome! I didn’t plan a dessert with the mind set the theater has sweets.
The movie was at ten at the local regal six screen. Much to my surprise the parking lot was full. We found a spot near by. After all the theater is part of a strip mall.
I got my customary diet coke and junior mints and we took our seats. The trailers roared across the screen and gave way to two words in yellow:
STAR WARS
After the opening scrawl played. Two and a half very quick hours later the movie ended. What a movie. I’m not giving spoilers, it’s not my style. Just know I loved almost every minute of the movie and had blast with my friends.
I love cooking and going to the movies. More importantly I love surrounding myself with good people. Tonight was all of that and more. I will never forget 12-14-2017 when we saw The Last Jedi!
