Star Wars: The Force Awakens now in Lake County Theaters
By: Jonathan Jones 12/18/2015
The lines will begin to coil around movie theaters starting today and tonight, and let me tell you I’m thrilled. (In a Yoda voice) The Star Wars: the Force Awakens excitement, I have.
We will see some of our favorite characters in this movie like Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, R2-D2, C-3PO (I can do without him actually) and my personal favorite – Admiral Ackbar (It’s a Trap!). We will also see some new characters in the likes of Finn Ren and Kylo Ren.
Lake County has plenty of events for this holiday of sorts. Bring your inner kid back onto the scene as AMC and other establishments hold Star Wars events all around Lake County.
Let me just round off a few quotes from Star Wars to get my geekdom in full swing. “You can’t win, Darth. Strike me down, and I will become more powerful than you could possibly imagine,” (Obi-Wan Kenobi), as said earlier ‘It’s a trap,” (Admiral Ackbar), “Lost a planet, Master Obi-Wan has. How embarrassing,” (Yoda), “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for…,” (Kenobi), “I find your lack of faith disturbing,” so on and so forth.
Enough with the pleasantries. Let’s return to the world that we know and love. Check and see what’s in store for the Lake County on opening night of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. But first…
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….
