This year I got a very special
chance to fulfill my fangirl side. Yap, Tuesday, 13 December 2016, finally I
got a chance to watch the PREMIERE of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story!! After last
year I has to stand for a quite long queue in order to get those tickets of
Star Wars: The Force Awakens, this year guess what!? I got it for free guys!
Well it all began when I looked at my facebook home and I saw the Star Wars
page post, they held a contest with a premiere ticket(s) as a prize. There’s
only 10 tickets for 5 winners, at first I think “mehh.. I never win anything
when it comes to a contest..”, but in the end I still joined that contest,
hahaa. It stated that I have to mention one of my friend and make a team name
with a unique reason. Well, because I’m a good wordsmith I decided to mention
my boyfriend (yea, who else its gonna be) and make a team named “The Tie
Fighter Crasher”, sounds rebel huh, but still with the empire touch hahaa, and
the reason was because we love that vehicles (Tie Fighter) and I think we’re
about to crashed it. Let us learn from those intergalactic pilots! And BOOM, a
message came to my facebook inbox and said that I got 2 tickets for premiere, 1
day before its public release at the theaters. At that time, I really feel so
blessed as a fans of Star Wars. Thank you Disney Indonesia for the tickets!!
D-DAY (13 December 2017)
The premiere was held at Gandaria
City XXI. And it was BEYOND my expectation! I never thought that this premiere
will be like the “real” premiere, you know. There’s Kevin Aprilio and Giring ‘Nidji’,
a lot of Star Wars cosplayers, outstanding photo booths, and there I am, not
even wearing any single Star Wars property, I feel dumb.

Then, I met Ms Decintia, the one
from Disney Indonesia to exchange my copy of ID with the tickets and tadaaa another
bonuses, we got free drinks, popcorns, and a butter cookies. So happy!! Before
entering the studio, our phones are being kept by the committees for the sake
of the secret of the movie, you don’t want us to spoiled the story via our
socmed, right?
So then, from 7 – 10 PM we enjoyed
the atmosphere of being among the fellow of Star Wars geeks. It feels so right
to be in the middle of a group with a same interest, its like when you saw a
scene and you feel like you really wanna clap your hand, you’re not alone,
cause everybody also want to clap. And we clapping our hand together, awesome.
After the movie ends, before we
exiting the studio, we got another surprise! A goodie bag! Which contains a
K-2SO head pillow (I already owned the First Order Stormtrooper, R2-D2, and
BB-8, so I have 4 now. Yippiiee!) plus 2 Star Wars medallions which I haven’t
got yet. Oh! And when I walked out from the studio, a reporter from CNN
Indonesia stopped me and ask for a short testimonial interview. And that’s it
guys, everything feels so completed that night.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
To be honest, I like this Rogue One
better than The Force Awakens. Why? Because the storyline in Rogue One is
unbelievably surprising and unpredictable and also make all things seems to be
possible and make sense. You know that feelings when you wondering “why is my
cake in the fridge missing??” and a few days ago you found out that you just
misplaced it in the wrong shelf, and you will said “OOHHHH….”, yea that kind of
feelings lah, hope you get my point, LOL.
For the first background story from
Star Wars series, Rogue One is definitely blown my mind. Letting me know what’s
“behind” all of the coincidence, the big war, and also the plot in all the Star
Wars series. But still, beneath all the new characters and stuff, there’s still
some old touch that will appear in this movie, such as Darth Vader iconic
appearance in the rebellions mothership (THIS SCENE IS SUPER AWESOME) and…. Get
ready to meet Princess Leia Organa once again! Oooppss sorry! Well, at least
I’m not telling you in which scene she will appear, right! Hahaa. Please
forgive me :D
Well, I’m not going to spoiled any
further, hahaa. But all I can say is, if you wanna see the real “Suicide
Squad”, well this one is for you. Until now I still can’t believe that the
storyline maker of all the Star Wars series is a human, I mean, the storyline
was fckin brilliant man! It’s like, really?? Seriously? You’ve been thinking
through more than 20 years for a perfect line of all the saga? Even the backstory?
This is INSANE, I tell you this is INSANE! The characters are incredible, I
love Cassian Andor, because he’s the handsome one LOL, and also I adore Chirrut
Imwe, he was amazing and inspirational for sure. And, last but not least, Jyn
Erso, sorry I have a hard time differentiating you from Rey, but you both are
absolutely the coolest girl ever in the galaxy. K-2SO hahaa, you guys gotta see
it yourself, he’s funny I tell ya.
Well, that's it guys.. Please go to the cinema and watch Rogue One, 'cause it's good for your eyes and brain, LOL.
Peace out,
-Fo. xoxo.
