Is it really any surprise that fans everywhere are super excited about the new Star Wars and the new film has people everywhere excited. This did not go unnoticed with Lucasfilm (and likely not unexpected either) so they took time to write up an official Thank You letter to fans. 5b2b1j
In this post, they explain just how strong the Force is with fans across the globe:
After two record-breaking teasers, the advance ticket sales.
Websites slowed, crashed, and became one with the Force. (There probably hasn’t been this big of a network jam in a galaxy far, far away since the Emperor’s trap in the Battle of Endor.) Incredibly — but not surprisingly — you set numerous records, including the biggest-ever 24 hours for advance sales in numerous countries. In the UK, more than 200,000 tickets were sold in the first day. In Norway, you braved subzero temperatures overnight to make sure you were among the first to see the film. Fortunately, there are still plenty of tickets to be had for opening weekend and beyond.
Ultimately, they want to send a thank you. A shout-out to all the fans, all over the world, who are excited to see the new film.
They close with these words:
Thank you all for making the Star Wars is back and beginning an exciting new journey, and it’s because of you.
The Force. It’s calling to you. We can’t wait for you to let it in, again, this December.
I it, I am excited.
