The last of the Star Wars trilogy in triplicate is finally out. Personally I don’t see the urgency to watch George Lucas’ latest creation. I chuckled when I read about people who got in line two months before the film’s opening. We passed a couple of them in Seattle last weekend, camped out in front of the Cinerama. We stared; they stared back.
During dinner tonight, we talked about the best time to watch the movie. I suggested we give it a few weeks, after all the fans have had a chance to watch it at least twice. But Luke said he couldn’t wait that long. “Dot, it’s my Hello Kitty,” he said, immediately putting it into perspective for me.
Star Wars is to Luke what Hello Kitty is to Dot. It’s the same Force that so inclines me to buy any product with Hello Kitty stamped on it, including gardening gloves and a packet of tissue.
I feel the sudden urge to put on my Hello Kitty hair clips, put some cash in my Hello Kitty purse, grab my Hello Kitty keychain and head for the movies.
I like Hello Kitty too! But uh not a lot of people know haha!
