I would say I'm a little bit of a nut.”Īnd the great thing about those old VHS tapes? “As I got older, I still really enjoyed the universe. “I borrowed the VHS tapes from my neighbour and watched them every Sunday religiously for a few months,” she said.

At that point, only the original three movies had been released. She was first introduced to the movies as a youngster, when her mother said she thought she might like it. Some of them are missing pieces, but they're still really good,” she said. McNutt, who calls herself a Star Wars "nut," has been eagerly awaiting the release of the ninth movie in the Star Wars saga. Courtney McNutt of Kentville holds two large Star Wars Lego sets in the downtown store where she works. Her job at a Kentville store means she's always close to new Lego arrivals. That includes lots of Lego, vintage toys, and games. “When we bought a house we had to buy a three bedroom, because one is just for my Star Wars stuff,” she said.

“I'm excited about all the little things leading up to it,” McNutt said.

Trailers, the ads for toys, and Star Wars-themed everything are everywhere as Rey, Chewbacca, Poe, Finn and droids galore set out on the last chapter in the saga. “Like, what's going to happen there? They could have easily turned it into a love story. “Because with the trailers you never really know what you're going to get, I'm interested to see how Rey and Kylo are going to interact,” she said. She said she'll go a few times just so she can take everything in. When the final trailer was released, that's the one that you re-watch over and over again.” Courtney McNutt wasn't born when a star destroyer gradually filled the screen at the beginning of the first Star Wars movie in 1977.īut she, like so many others, is giddily awaiting the ninth movie in the series, which opens Thursday at some theatres, and is in wide release Friday.
