General Dog posted:Why do people pre-buy tickets? I don't think I've ever had trouble buying tickets to a movie opening night. I live in the 5th largest city in the country and we only have one full-sized IMAX screen. When Endgame went on sale a few weeks prior to the release, the theater I usually go to was showing it on opening night on 23 screens. Within 3 hours, almost every screening was sold out. I had to sit in the second row at said IMAX because I dragged my feet. For bigtime releases, in these kinds of scenarios, if you wait to get a ticket, you normally won’t get to see it opening night.

I've seen TFA and TLJ with 5-6 other people, and it's cool that we can all get our seats/tickets together ahead of time. With a big group, it's usually harder to get seats together opening night. This year I'm seeing the movie with 10 other people.

Say what you will about the rebels, but respect their ability to replenish their forces from 12 people to 12 trillion people in the span of just 1 year despite the entire galaxy already being conquered by the enemy

Can’t wait for Death Star 3 (4?) to shoot at a ship like in RotJ but instead it goes through 5 because they are so bunched up. Poetry it rhymes and all that

We just know that no one in the Galaxy was willing to help the Resistance.

The opening crawl of star wars 8 actually begins with "The first order reigns." I don't think that is vague or ambiguous and there's nothing in the movie to contradict it either, people just don't want to take the movie on its word because it's too stupid of a position to take seriously- even though it actually is the movie's position. Good thing JJ is here to cut the gordian knot by ignoring all these troublesome things entirely

Good thing JJ is here to cut the gordian knot by ignoring all these troublesome things entirely The wording seems unambiguous, but since TLJ starts within days (at most) of the ending of TFA, it's impossible that they could actually occupy any significant fraction of the galaxy already.

I agree with you, it's implausible in the extreme, insulting to the intelligence of the audience, and all that. But all the same it is what's took place in the movie, JJ pretending it didn't happen notwithstanding

Which still seems dumb, but I guess is at least consistent with what we were told in TFA about the entire Republic Fleet being in dry dock all in the same place.

TLJ took how long in movie time? Like four days? A 7 day week tops?

Jiro posted:TLJ took how long in movie time? Like four days? A 7 day week tops? Less. The fleet only had 18 hours of fuel, and the battle that ended the film took place immediately after it ran out. So, we're talking, at the high end, a day.

TLJ probably happens over a little more than 2 days. The reststance evacuates their base at the start of the movie, then Rey meets Luke and follows him around for the rest of the day. She starts her training the next morning, and they say the Resistance has 18 hours of fuel left right after her first lesson. She leaves that night, and everything between that and Luke's death takes enough time for there to be a sunset when he dies.

I don't think the sequel movies are all that great, but I'm still gonna see this next one on opening night. I'm never lonely in this life, because there's someone like me born every minute.

It's a very strange feeling for me to see a brand new trailer for a Star Wars move and just feel nothing. I don't like it.
