Star Wars has been a part of many generations as new trilogies are released throughout the years. The movies hold a special place in many people’s hearts. One of those people is Andrew Crawford, a student here at BBCHS. He’s excited to see the movie on opening night, and he was happy to answer a few questions.

He has been watching Star Wars ever since he was 4, and some of his favorites include Rogue One and A New Hope. His movie of choice has to be the third movie, Revenge of the Sith. One thing he complained about is Disney buying the franchise from Lucasfilm, stating, “They don’t have the same feeling behind them”. He also complained about the new trilogy, saying they don’t have the same feeling, but is excited nonetheless. His views are shared by many fans, but many are still very excited to watch the final episode.
