IT’S HERE!!!!!!
YES, IT’S FINALLY HAPPENED.
Tonight, The Force Awakens debuts on screens across the US and around the world. The three years since the Disney sale, the 10+ years since the release of Revenge of the Sith, the decades since we learned that Lucas had nine total movies in mind…all of the waiting is coming to an end.
And as of Wednesday evening, the reviews are overwhelmingly positive. I haven’t been reading them, I’ve only been looking at Rotten Tomatoes, and the ratings are at 94%, with 169 of 179 reviews coming in positive. Of the so-called “Top Critics,” 36 of 39 of their reviews are positive. So, a little of that breath you’ve been holding, you can let it out a bit.
As this episode drops, I’ll be in Boston at the Star Wars Marathon, probably right during the insane four-front finale of The Phantom Menace. We’re going to be livestreaming from the marathon all day long, so check in on our Twitter feed (@SW7x7podcast) for our Periscope and Meerkat broadcasts. And hang in there – there’s less than 24 hours left!!!
