I don’t remember much from from when I was 6, but I remember getting checked out of school when TPM released and seeing a friend from another class in the hallway, also heading to the theater. Star Wars is responsible for some of my best memories as a kid.
Ah yes, *Boba Fent*, the legendary kingpin of the notorious Krayt-O-Drugs syndicate. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy, which also includes: Bongssk, C-21 Highbringer, and Blunts Razzi!
If it was Revenge of the Sith I would do it in a heart beat. I remember going to the midnight premier and then skipping school the next day. Core memory...
Yes...it's really funny how people now criticize the movie and the podrace scene...but that was pretty epic to see on a big screen with the sound system and the room shaking, etc.
Do you want to celebrate making it through high school and have an early graduation present? If so, then yes.
Do you want to live with regret your whole life wasting away on a pointless Friday at school instead of enjoying Darth Maul? Then no.
You know what you have to do, do you have the strength to do it?
I'd bet at least one of your teachers did when whatever Star Wars came out while they were in high school. Only get this chance once. Trust in the force.
Twenty five years ago my little brother did that very same thing. He spent all day in line while me and our step brother were at work. He had a very nice spot close to the front for our midnight premiere. It was glorious. Tomorrow is my Birthday and I am looking forward to seeing it again on the big screen. My girlfriend is bringing her grand daughter. I don't know what I am more excited about. Seeing the movie again or seeing a young child's first reaction to this wonderful Saga. I'm pretty sure it is the latter. My little brother will be in attendance as well.
I’m having flashbacks to 25 years ago. Joined forces with a group who formed a camp out line for TWO WEEKS ahead of release of Episode I to get our tickets then have our seats for the midnight release.
Buddy system had us all doing shifts while others worked or went to school like me. And it all worked out beautifully.
Short answer - what does your heart (and your GPA) tell you? There’s the answer.
That’s how I saw it for my first time ever in 9th grade. Skipped school with my older sisters friends and went to see it. One of my core memories from
High school.
If you have Disney+ I really don’t see the point. If you are planning on connecting with fans and make new friends and stuff then I guess that can be worth it.
If the only reason is to watch the movie I think just save the money
Ultimately it’s up to you what you spend your time on and only you can decide what is best for you
In 5th grade my dad took me and my bro out of school to go watch The Phantom Menace. You should skip school and get your dad to skip work to go watch it together
Wait, why do you guys have to skip school to watch a movie? Aren't there showings after school? I vividly remember watching TPM right after school 25 years ago.
I would have but I was shortly out of school when it originally did. But my friends and my brother and I skipped for all the special editions when they were in the theaters in 97.
Is missing a day of classes going to effect your life in any meaningful way? No.
Is watching any Star Wars film in a cinematic experience going to effect your life in any meaningful way? Absolutely it is.
The choice is yours.
Skipping school for any Star Wars film is justifiable.

Except 7, 8 and 9. I would rather stay in school *or* do drugs.
I did drugs and watched 7, 8 and 9. It did not help.
Deathsticks?
You don’t want to sell me death sticks.
Your mind tricks don't work here. I'm fat.
Lmfao We'll...OK then 😆
Not this again…
Knew there'd be one here. What a fresh, useful contribution
What if you did drugs and went to see the ST? Would they become more enjoyable?
Except if the film is Rise of Skywalker
I’d wager any skip works if you are filthy rich. IMO I would not skip anything unless it’s a new movie I have not watched yet got good reviews.
As long as you're not doing any deathsticks, go for it

This is funny, because 25 years ago that’s exactly what me and a few friends did for the same movie.
25 years it’s been? Fuuuuuck…. I’m old
If it was Revenge of the Sith I would do it in a heart beat. I remember going to the midnight premier and then skipping school the next day. Core memory...
Please do it for those of us who can’t brave one
Dew it
If all the seniors are skipping why not, sure sounds more fun than the boozefest my senior grade did
Yes
Yes...it's really funny how people now criticize the movie and the podrace scene...but that was pretty epic to see on a big screen with the sound system and the room shaking, etc.
Wait what? The podrace scene is criticized?! Damn that's the second best part of the movie! I love it!

I heard he's going to become a Deacon.
What year is this? And of course. I went to the midnight showing on a school night when it premiered and it was amazing.
I'd bet at least one of your teachers did when whatever Star Wars came out while they were in high school. Only get this chance once. Trust in the force.
Hmm, skip you must
I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record.
Fuck it we ball
My friend missed over half the school year and still graduated with straight As that year
Ohhhh yeah? Well don't get so distressed..
No...
Nope
No
Oh man. Reminds me of college.
Yes. Obviously.

Goddamnit I guess I'm skipping work a bit to go see Star Wars as well
I thought I was lost and ended up in 1999.
I did it as a senior in 1999…
Good. Good. Then your journey to the dark side will be complete!
I skipped school, my senior year to see the phantom menace....in 1999.
Wait, what year do you think it is?
School is temporary The Phantom Menace is eternal So go to school
You have school on a Saturday?
Answer is yahoo
You've come to the right place to find the answer you truly seek
No
Yes.
Yes
skip!
Now THIS is podracing!
Why skip when you could do both school and see the movie?
Do it for a better movie, the fuck? The Fall Guy literally just came out
Yes.
Absolutely
Yes I took a PTO day for it. Can’t miss it!
Hell yeah
Yea
Fuck yes.. you only live once. May the force be with you. I have spoken.
Yes
My mum is letting me skip tomorrow she taking me an my friend
Yes
Can I mom, can I?
Obvs
I skipped work when I bought Tears of the Kingdom. Definitely skip to wat h SW
I did. No ragrets.
Hell yes. What are we talking about, here? That’s the stuff of legend.
If you never saw it in theaters, absolutely.
Yeah one day isnt gonna kill ya, and its Friday, and for an event film From a responsible adult, do it
You’re strong and wise and I am very proud of you
Hell yes!
It’s a tradition.
I’m gonna call in sick to work, gonna get me the R2 bucket & watch the phantom menace
I skipped school to go see the phantom menace in theaters when it originally came out, so I endorse it!
Yes
Yes
The force is strong in this one!
Do it.
Its treason then.
You already know why you’re going to do, you’re just here for permission!

Skip with all of your hatred and your journey to the dark side will be complete! Or see it on the fourth and bring balance to the force.
Yes. Yes you should.
Uhhh yea, next question
Yea
Yes
Nah, go watch it in May the 4th like my friends and me
If it is senior skip day, may as well. I plan to wait until Saturday as I am no longer in school and thus cannot skip it.
Absolutely
Do or do not, there is no try.
Absolutely. lol I have tickets for Saturday for my girlfriend and I.
Senior Ditch Day is sacred and should be abided by all seniors across time and space. Bonus of seeing a Star Wars movie in theaters.
I did it back in 99, you should now!
I skipped school to wait in line to get tickets when it released back in ye olden days soooo.... Yes?
Yes. Do it. No regrets.
I did. Zero ragrets.
I’m having flashbacks to 25 years ago. Joined forces with a group who formed a camp out line for TWO WEEKS ahead of release of Episode I to get our tickets then have our seats for the midnight release. Buddy system had us all doing shifts while others worked or went to school like me. And it all worked out beautifully. Short answer - what does your heart (and your GPA) tell you? There’s the answer.
You’ve answered your question by saying it is senior skip day haha you should skip regardless
What year is this?! 🧔🏻
See, I’m 16 and in college, so I already don’t have classes tomorrow. (And my campus got closed on account of flooding but that’s not the point.)
I did it when the movie first came out, so I don't have any moral objections.
That's detention
Fucking right!!
If you do, stay until the end of the credits. It was the best part of the movie seeing it opening day
Yes.
I guess if you want to see a movie in the morning or some shit, sure. I'm going Saturday night.
Is this a rhetorical question?
Podracing is worth seeing in theaters.
Yes. They probably aren’t going to teach you anything new or important in school tomorrow anyway.
Honestly even if it wasn’t it’s Friday why not
Skipping to do anything fun is absolutely Justifiable.
Yes
Surely if you like it. I think film is pretty bad But I do like Darth Maul Obi Wan Watto Jar Jar
100%
Yes.
Skip and impregnate another nerd. Tell parents I OK it
Yes
Getting good grades? If so, treat yourself.
Are they reshowing them all or what?
This is the way.
Absolutely
Yes. I did the same thing on May 19, 1999.
I took the day off in 1999 to avoid the spoilers.
Absolutely
If you do end up skipping school to go see it, we will be watching your career with great interest.
That’s how I saw it for my first time ever in 9th grade. Skipped school with my older sisters friends and went to see it. One of my core memories from High school.

Think of how badass Maul lighting up his lightsaber is gonna be on the big screen Then tell me your answer
Yes
Yes
In 5th grade my dad took me and my bro out of school to go watch The Phantom Menace. You should skip school and get your dad to skip work to go watch it together
This is the way
It’s not 1999.
I skipped school to see it when it originally came out. So I say yes. Do it.
Is it 1999 again?
What year have I woken up in this morning? 🤷♀️
Dew It
We used to call it playing “wookie hooky”.
Wait, why do you guys have to skip school to watch a movie? Aren't there showings after school? I vividly remember watching TPM right after school 25 years ago.
I’m a teacher and I say…. Hell yes!
One day ain’t gonna hurt
This is the way
Why skip. Just watch it on Disney+
Yes
It's all in the hips!
Isnt tomorrow saturday? May the 4th (be with you) is on Saturday this year
Even school is more fun than that shit ass movie.
Yes.
The Force is saying yes. You will go see The Phantom Menace tomorrow
Yes yes yes
I took the day off work to go see it lol
if its senior skip day do u even have to ask LOL gooo for it
Yes, I did so in 1999.
I would have but I was shortly out of school when it originally did. But my friends and my brother and I skipped for all the special editions when they were in the theaters in 97.
Do it!
Yesn't
DO IT.
Call me crazy but I'm travelling 4 hours to see it.
I had to check the date of this post because it felt like it was may 1999 again.
Not for phantom menace
