I thought the other thread about the opening sequence was quite revealing and interesting to read.... so... I pose the same question but regarding the closing sequence(s).... the last 5 minutes of the movie or so.

I just kept getting goosebumps the whole time, especially when Luke was passed to Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen and the sweeping "binary sunset" music came on.... and then, bam! the closing music started, I was just so sad that it was all over.....

I was thinking...



I hope I dont fall down these damn steps on the way out.

The end was quite impactful for me. I knew already what the last shot was going to be, so I was ready for it, then glad to see it. But once the credits hit and the lights went up, and a lot of people applauded & started to leave, my friend and I simply sat there in silence. I leaned forward, watching the credits and listening to the music. Never said a word until it was over, and once it was, he and I just looked at each other with that look that can only be shared by a couple of heterosexual-yet-still-gay Star Wars fanboys. A look that says, "It was all worth it. The money spent, the years waiting, the time invested in all previous episodes. It was all worth it."

Then we went into the lobby and took pictures with R2-D2.

I was thinking...


'meh...it was alright i suppose..'








Pfft....more like 'holy f*ck, must...see.....again...'

Another exact thought I had: Maybe I can hide somewhere in the theater and sneak back in for the very next showing!

Actually, it didn't have as much impact on me as I thought it would...

But maybe that's because I still couldn't believe I was watching the last new Star Wars movie I'd ever see.

Having made the mistake of reading the book the week prior to the release, my initial reaction was...."Damn this movie was butchered!" and "damn I was too spoiled! " crybaby

It wasnt till after I saw it 3 more times that I fully appreciated it.

I did that for AOTC.....so I stayed away from the book til I'd seen ROTS....I would have been disappointed, the book was cool.

I was thinking, well this has been a great movie and I am totally satisfied with the whole Star Wars Saga. Also I was also thinking man I got to see this again. And finally I thought ESB has and always will be my favourite Star Wars movie. It was even better then ROTS.

i was thinking,

"Wow, they wrapped that up fast..."

and,

"that was alot of info took take in at the end ther"

and,

"why did Vader scream like frankenstein?"

I was like wow this is a great movie and I have to watch it again. plus I made a mistake of buying a large drink so I had to wait till the movie ended to pee

"thank god that didn't suck"..."star wars might even actually be cool again"...

probably also "man, i need a cigarette"...don't really remember, but that's usually what i'm thinking at the end of a film...

the frankenstein scene totally confused me...like being slapped in the face with a wet fish...also that they really skipped over some things fast (qui gonn etc.)...

basically though, i was relieved to be buzzing, i've felt blase about sw for a few years now so that was a big relief...

damn i g2g pee

TMI

Yeah, I made that mistake too, Nauj. My bladder was going to jump out and strangle me if I didn't go, and it was nearing the end of Obi vs. Ani...I got back just in time to see Anakin get his limbs hacked off...

During the closing sequences I was thinking "Man, I need to blink..." and "Damn that felt good to pee..." and "Man, I need to blink..." and "I need more soda..."

Probalby something along the lines of THAT MOVIE RULED!!!!

i wasc thinking 'Will that freak in a stormtrooper suit get outta da way. He's standing before the screen.

I was suddenly filled with the uttermost sadness (and regret that I had spoiled most of the movie for myself) ........

If I wanted to live to see it again (which I did), I had to.

Oh no one ever died from having to pee.

Man, this thread is supposed to be about everyone's thoughts on the movie, not about everyone's thoughts on their bodily functions!!!!

I would have died from embarrasment.

yeah lol

I was thinking, godamn my ass itches.

After I stopped shaking after the Vader outburst....lol

I was thinking.....

HOW HOW HOW...do they think that sending the one kid that carries his fathers last name, putting him on his father's home planet WITH his father's family....to hide said child from said father......was a good idea?!?!

I mean, this takes "hiding in plain sight" just a tad far.....

tee hee hee

hysterical

I was filled with joy that I got to see the midnight showing, and sad because this was it. I was happy the way the movie ended. I loved every single minute of the movie, and as soon as it was over, I just sat there in silence, taking in the moment.

I was sad because it was the last time I'd see a Star Wars movie for the FIRST time.

Because nobody thought they were there. The sith didn't know luke existed. Maybe Skywalker is like Smith there, there could be many Skywalkers.

When the sith did find out about Luke they wanted to capture him, not destroy him. That's why they didn't just nuke Hoth from orbit and bedone with the rebels.

I also needed to go to the lil' men's room - which started to frustrate me right from the scene where Yoda slams the Royal Guards into the wall. I wanted to go soooooooo much, that when i saw that scene i also felt like collapsingcry

Yeah, but a Skywalker that just HAPPENS to be living with the LARS family? It just seems ridiculous to me. Just an opinion...

I was had goose bumps and with tears streaming down my face I was wow evreyone applauded and as I walked out and turned to my friends I said so what did you think they it was good then I said that was awesome they thought I was nuts .

Hmmm.... Tim must've been throwing paper airplanes when the teacher was explaining how not to write run-on sentences.

Hmm...

ROTJ Luke: So we meet again Mr. Vaderson. You must understand that everything has to have a purpose. If something has no purpose, it must be destroyed! *Grabs saber* Mm, Nah...Luke wouldn't do the whole suit thing.

And as for what was going through my mind? But what else? A Ray Stevens song
