The Best Star Wars Gifts for Wannabe Jedi
While Star Wars had a tremendous cultural impact, it wasn’t an all-together original story, and even the set and alien designs likely came from elsewhere.
While the exact figures haven’t been revealed, GameLink executive Jeff Dillon told the publication, “The spike in sales for the parody is representative of a much larger trend of brand-specific merchandise for Star Wars, which shows the strong bond fans have with the movies”.
Fans lined up to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens the night before the premier, many waiting well over 12 hours at theaters to get the best seats in the house across Southern Colorado.
“A lot of my customers have said they marathon-watched all of the movies”, he said on Thursday.
Fans awoke early and some even took the day off work to be there.
“For the movie theater industry this is exactly what we get excited about”, said Tom Reichelt, GM at Marcus Palace Cinema.
“I haven’t seen this kind of reaction, anticipation in a really long time, as far as I can remember”, he said. “I know a ton of people are going to be standing in line for it”. Moody’s does not anticipate that Disney’s A2 senior unsecured debt rating, Prime-1 short term debt rating and stable outlook will be directly affected by the expected success of the Star Wars release, as we believe the company will sustain a constant leverage range between 1.5 and 2.0x (including Moody’s standard adjustments). “Usually those screenings are very quiet”, said Cohen. Starting late next year, newly released Disney, Marvel and Pixar films will also play on Netflix after Disney’s movie output deal with premium TV channel Starz expires.
