Catelyn was positively giddy. She had been waiting for this since it was announced five years ago and Ned couldn’t hurry up – if they were late, she was going to honestly kill him. When Ned finally appeared, she couldn’t help but laugh and forget all thoughts of kiling him.

“It still fits!” she exclaimed, surprised. She hadn’t seen that one since they waited in line, for five days, for the premiere of The Phantom Menace, after dropping their children through their various uncles and aunts (and sadly that had been the last line they had made it too). They thought about doing it this year, only Rickon lived at home and he could have stayed home alone, but neither Ned nor Catelyn really believed they could survive five days sleeping on the street.

“Actually, Sansa redid it a bit,” Ned finally answered, showing her the fixed seams.

“You went to see our daughter without me,” Catelyn complained.

“I wouldn’t dare to do that. It was back in October when she was home.”

“She kept it a secret for two months,” she murmured to herself as they moved into the room.”

“A surprise,” he reminded her.

“You still look great as Luke,” she said tracing her hands through his hair and beard that threw off a bit the boyish looks of Luke. But the beige clothes were still the same.

“Probably going to look more like nowadays Luke than the one from back in the eighties.”

“It premiered in 1977,” she said and he smiled at her with a knowingly smile. “I still can’t believe he wasn’t in the trailers,” she said.

“We all know that Han and Carrie were everything you needed,” he told her with a smile.

“Han is Han,” she said.

“I remember your vows, Catelyn.”

“Shut up,” she said with a laugh. “Come on, before we lose anything.”

“How do we get in?” he asked her.

“We need to sign something about not talking about the movie, about not posting anything online.”

“Do they know I can’t even do facebook or that tweety thing?” Ned complained.

“I told them that, still need to sign it. And now they are confused about what we’re doing here – you will be the oldest in costume.”

“The kids call it cosplay now,” Ned said, having learned the word from Sansa as she fixed his clothes – she told him she had helped Arya with a few.

“Come on,” Catelyn said, pulling on his hand, and avoiding the weird looks from the other people around who didn’t understand how these two non-critics had made it to an early showing of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Arya had gotten them the tickets. Her roommate did some things on the youtube, with reviews and had been offered tickets – he had already taken others, Arya couldn’t take them since she had a test tomorrow, so she sent them to them. Arya would go see it with her boyfriend, Gendry, on the day it premiered – Thursday night. Catelyn had also another viewing booked for then; she was going with Elia, who was the first girl she ever met that love Star Wars as much as her, back in college, before they could imagine themselves working together – they were going with a few more gals from work, a true girls night.

Then another viewing in the weekend, all the kids were coming home, some with friends. Arya still wasn’t sure if she was bringing Gendry (he was a Star Wars virgin before this month that Arya spent showing him everything), Sansa still had to confirm how many people she was bringing, and Bran was definitely was bringing the Reed twins (Catelyn was sure they probably have had watched it before the weekend – Howland did some of the lines with Ned back in the day).

“Aegon Targaryen, the ‘Young Griff’,” the kid in the entrance of the viewing asked, checking his papers and what they signed.

“He’s my daughter’s roommate,” Ned said through greeted teeth – he still didn’t like his daughter living with a guy. Catelyn still thought it was better than living with her boyfriend – she didn’t want Arya into something too early, even if she and Gendry seemed to be in for the long haul, especially if he ended up liking the Star Wars movies.

“Okay. Go in, lady, Luke,” he said, showing them in.

Inside the theatre, they found most people still talking to each other, seeming that everyone knew one or the other, hopefully they would be quiet when the movie started.

Ned and Catelyn took some of the last free seats, too close to the screen to be the best, but they were still watching it earlier. As it didn’t start, they talked about their hopes for the movie – they had been heavily debating about who these new characters were (Sansa kept pleading someone is related to Obi Wan Kenobi, but it may be because she loves Ewan McGregor – he and Princess Leia were her favorite things about Star Wars and what kept her watching), but they weren’t as sure as their oldest daughter.
