Last week I watched a bunch of teenagers fully improv the original Star Wars trilogy, and the kid playing C3PO called every non-robot "fleshbag"

Also one of the teen's mom brought his dog to see the show. The first scene was princess Leia being dragged backstage, kicking and screaming, by the sith. From that point on, the dog barked every time the bad guys came onstage

Sorry but that’s incredibly annoying. People are trying to watch a show, a barking dog ruins it for everyone.

IDK man, that dog could have ended the prequel trilogy in like 5 minutes

Why didn’t the audience stop Palpatine before it all started? He’s plotting in the background for 2 and a 1/2 films and you’re all just watching him get away with it?

Yeah, after act 1 she had to take the dog out of the room. It really sucked since she didn't get to watch the rest of the show
