Star Wars

So I've never been a huge Star Wars fan, in fact, before this last week I don't think I had ever sat down and actually watched an entire Star Wars film. However, with my new Disney+ subscription I have access to all of them and figured its about time I get caught up. Although I have never sat down and watched a Star Wars film the movie have a large presences in pop culture so I am very familiar with the characters and even the overall plot of the films. In addition, my family and I are big fans of the Disney Theme Parks so I have been exposed to Star Wars rides and shows both at Disneyland and Disney World. It was a really interesting experience this week actually watching the films and realizing how the iconic characters and scenes actually fit into the greater story line. It was also interesting to hear lines in the movie that I had heard tossed around in general conversation before and realize that they had come from the Sar Wars films and I hadn't even known. I just find it interesting that some media has become so much a part of pop culture that we don't even need to see the films to have a significant amount of exposure to the content. I enjoyed the experience of going back and finally viewing the films after having already been so well exposed to the characters and themes. I also feel that I will now experience Star Wars attractions at my favorite theme parks and Star Wars related content online and in conversations with new ideas now that I have experienced their cinematic origins.
