Their meeting during that premier video looks very cordial, actually--for what it's worth!

Make Wookiee Life Day a national holiday

It's part three of one long movie is how I see it.

Huh?

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.

This is pretty neat, it's not very long but the tech is cool. Just tried it here at work.

Just hope to god you don't run into Mabuse.

"I'm waiting for these 12 seats and the two clusters of 6 seats in rows G and H...whichever opens up first."

Full spoilers are out on the interwebs.

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.

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...

apparently my PC is not compatible with the sight. too bad...

Ummmmm....Fiat owns Dodge.

well, there you go...

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?

That's it, we're going off the grid!!!



...Until Friday.

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+.

(No spoiler review)

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!

The negatives amount to the story which is full of "remember when you first saw this? Remember how cool that was? well here it is again with a slight spin"
Part reboot/ part remake is as huge a spoiler as you need to know going in to adjust your expectations.
But then being Abrams, people should have been expecting this...especially with all the familiar iconography on display right down to the death starry looking thing on the one sheets.
If you were hoping for a narrative to blast off in new directions worthy of those visuals in the trailers and TV spots, you might be disappointed.

OTOH, I'm seeing nothing but praise for the new characters. People, even ones that have issues with the story, like them quite a bit and that is a huge leap over the prequel experience.
If they can shake the "been there/done that" with the next two films, then the new trilogy should be a clear net success.
