That was hilarious. If anything, we are getting some funny videos out of all this!

C3PO, having drank a quart of midichlorians, flies a podracer into the Death Star 3 causing it to blow up. Everyone dances to Jedi Rocks during the end credits which contain silly out takes .

I don't really understand why some people are still mint on card collectors to be honest. I suppose they feel it adds to the potential value but most modern stuff won't be valuable anyways because of how everything is so mass produced now days. Even then though I don't collect for value but rather just that I enjoy displaying figures not just sitting unopened in a box.

No advanced tickets but where I live is small enough that the local theater won't sell out. I plan to go to the opening show Thursday at 7 and will probably see it a second time Friday or Saturday.

A quart of midichlorians? WTF?
I'm starting to think you haven't actually seen the movie.

I find it amusing that the Disney police ran in to order Bill Whitaker to stop filming with his iPhone.

I'd been out of the toy collecting game all together for nearly a decade, but have jumped back into it in a big way in the last four years (to the tune of nearly 100 figures). Most of those are specialty market items geared toward older collectors: NECA, Diamond Select, Mezco... etc. Every single one of them has been opened and displayed. I couldn't give a crap about their future value, I just like how they look and wanted to own them. As for The Force Awakens items, I bought a set of the Elite Series die casts from the Disney Store and a ceramic BB-8 bank to put on my desk. Even if I really love the movie, I doubt I'll be picking up much else.

I am so excited about this. I can remember last December and thinking "still a whole year to go."
But here we are. The week of release. Cannot fucking wait until Thursday at 7 p.m. First show. Would not miss it.
I refuse to believe this won't be a very good movie. JJ knows he can't screw this up, especially after the prequels debacle.

While listening to John Williams score the first scene after the opening crawl, I had a vision of
I'm a little scared that might be the first image we see. When it was first brought up probably a year ago, I thought NO WAY, but now, I"m not so sure.

Well, technically Luke didn't drop his saber - Vader chopped his hand off which was still holding the saber.

I wouldn't mind seeing a lightsaber floating in space as the opening shot, just not the hand attached to it, especially if it is Luke's. It would kind of be cool to see the hilt of the lightsaver creep into view slowly, everyone thinking it is a space ship.
I have such faith in JJ that this is going to hit all the right buttons for the fans. Hopefully we aren't let down. To think about it, only 2 of the 6 movies were good from start to finish. LOL, that's a worse record than the Fast and the Furious franchise.

I'm not debating how long the hand was holding the saber hilt. I was simply correcting the statement that he "dropped" his lightsaber. He didn't, unless you consider a severed hand to still be under the control of the former owner.

Pre-purchased a ticket to see it Saturday at Noon.
Not going to take a chance to do just a walk-up, especially the 1st weekend.
