Vader just used his hand.

I’m thinking “raw strength” in the Star Wars universe means bitch-ass temper tantrums where you tear shit up.

I think he is talking about himself -- either in the training scene on Dagobah or when he goes balls out when fighting Vader.

Related to the OT and not T LJbut here is an old letter Steve Soderbergh received getting future endeaver'd via Lucasfilm.

Has anyone seen the Mondo/Alamo Drafthouse light side/dark side pint glasses?

Maybe confirms a rumored spoiler...

International trailer

New Japanese movie poster out...like to have this one......and with Luke holding the Light Saber.....

lopper

I guess it was assumed Luke would have/use a lightsaber in this, but a) I'd hoped it would've been his green one (don't tell me it blew up on the Death Star. I don't want to hear that.), and b) I'd rather have seen it first in the movie or even at the end of a bad ass trailer than on a poster.

GuessWho

Who would say otherwise? He's wearing it during the ewok celebration rave party

lopper

Well that's great, then. In my mind I only remembered him throwing it in the throne room, but don't remember if he gets it again after that or if he has it on Endor. My memory of Jedi is a little fuzzy.

Luke is holding the saber Rey brought to him. It's his original from Ben. I suspect he gave up the green saber when he went into hiding.

McHawkson

Did Luke have it when he dragged Darth Vader to shuttle? I wonder.

clappj

Not seen here.

Maybe he ran back and got his saber after his pops died though.

I read today that Disney will be getting 65% of all ticket sales from all theaters on this and they have to play it in their largest theater for 4 weeks.

RoboDad

That's pretty much what they did for Force Awakens. What is interesting about it (if they follow the same plan as before) is that they aren't using the typical sliding scale that they normally use. It is a flat 65% across the theatrical run. So, while the theaters will get less overall, they will get more up front. Whether or not that offers any benefit to the theatres, even a short-term one, I don't know.

DthRdrX

How are they getting more up front? The split is usually around 50%!

The split for TFA was negotiated at 60%. Disney got an extra 5% here.

Keep in mind Disney has been fighting it out with the various theaters asking for the same amount for their Marvel films.

RoboDad

I didn't say the theaters get more overall. They (should) get more up front than they normally would because of Disney not using the sliding scale. Studios typically take a higher percentage during the first week, and then it scales back over time. And their initial percentage is usually higher than 65%. But, by week 3-4, when the theater would normally start to see a higher percentage, they won't, so that's where they will lose any benefit that gained during week 1. Hence the reference to a short-term benefit.

2Hype

DthRdrX

Possibly. We don't know the actual first week %. Given TFA made around 2 billion and stayed in for like 5+ months that 65% split is a lot more money going out the door than what it will probably take in the first week.

TomOpus

For those curious, this is a screen grab from the latest tv spot...since the poster didn't give any context for the spoiler.
