Christ! The funk of nerd has infested Star Wars. If anything kills the franchise it's that. Anyone remember when Star Wars was cool? Now it's like Trek.

So yeah there's a lot of spoilers out there now. Be careful.

Unfortunately that doesn't help it in being a fracture as fuck third act. Actually... that probably makes it worse if you want to hold it as that.

Going @ 7:30 Thursday show with about 12 other family and friends. We pre-purchased them last month and plan on getting there pretty early since they aren't assigned seating. My son's excited to see Star Wars in the theaters for the first time so it's mainly for him and have a good time with buddies. I just hope to be entertained and not getting my expectations up. Trailers have looked good so far though so it should be fun.

Hope most of the gang shows up at the same time. Otherwise could be fun saving an entire row by yourself. May the force be with you.

Not really. Bring a half dozen extra jackets/coats with you and drape them over all the seats. It has been done before.

Since real lightsabers don't exist (yet), Google and the studios behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens are offering the next-best thing: A program that turns your smartphone into a lightsaber, which then takes out bad guys on your computer screen. Lightsaber Escape is live now -- open it in your desktop browser and then punch in the unique URL on your phone (or vice versa), and you're good to go. Your phone becomes a lightsaber handle and, as you move it around, the actual glowing sword moves on the desktop.
This is pretty neat, it's not very long but the tech is cool. Just tried it here at work.

Yes they are... just let them in.

I did and it was pretty much what I expected. I won't have my cherry popped at the theater like everyone else.

Re: Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015, Abrams) S: Hamill, Ford, Fisher

what amazes me about the Disney/Star Wars marketing juggernaut and i didn't even know this was ethical, but they have promotions with 2 different car companies: Dodge and Fiat. Now, maybe they can do that because they are not direct competitors? i just thought it was weird to see 2 different car companies...

Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Abrams, 2015) — The Reviews Thread

I read the novelization for II and III before seeing them, but I've decided to avoid all-out spoilers on this one. I don't think it will make much difference to how much I enjoy it, but what the hell?

They have a Jeep one also. Which they also own and are made by Toledo's finest mullets and drunks.

I didn't want to go into the reviews thread for fear of spoilers, but WGN's Dean Richards gave this an A+.

Crap. I wanted to go into this with slightly lower expectations than I did the prequels. So much for that.

Not everyone is digging it that much. Lower those expectations! It sucks!
