poo poo, in ANH R2 & 3P0 just happen to crash land practically in Kenobi's lap, despite having a whole planet to land on.

They didn't though? They were pretty drat far from where anyone was and the only reason they got to Luke was because the Jawas snatched them up and sold it to Owen. And even then, Obi Wan was still pretty drat far.

The characters not working for me is why I don't like the prequels. Obi-Wan is alright though.

I just thought Into Darkness was kind of lazy. Like, fine if they wanted to have Khan, but not fine that they took scenes and lines from Wrath of Khan and repurposed them for their own film. That bugs me. First half is pretty alright though.

I've just bought the TFA soundtrack. As people have said, Rey's opening theme is sweet. It's low key, which is why it didn't stick in my mind when I left the theater, but it's nice.

Yo how did you get it? It's not out until the 18th right?

I like what people are saying about how this movie is not Star Wars in the essence of pushing cinematic boundaries and inspiring awe with effects 20 years ahead of time. Instead I feel it possess these qualities:
-heart warming
-clever funny
-scary
-dangerous
-sad.
-*****magical*****

So that's the ingredients of the star wars I watched as a kid. I suppose there is a difference in how we enjoy star wars based on where we first saw it. Fans who were awed by the spec. effects in cinema in the 70s vs. us dirty youngsters who first saw it on VHS at a sleepover in a rumpus room.

People care very much about plot.

Hey CelticPredator, I called the theater today and asked them if they were going to be giving away posters at the premiere tomorrow night, and i'm pretty shocked that they said no. Instead, they're selling some theater-themed Star Wars t-shirt for 20 bucks.

This is the first IMAX blockbuster that hasn't had it's own IMAX-specific poster handout in ages. When I bought the tickets back in October, I apparently incorrectly assumed they'd be giving away a poster, because they ALWAYS do. Even The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Iron Man 3 had it's own IMAX poster. Go figure.

That's weird. Huh. But no worries! It's all good!

gently caress. Someone posted the score on Youtube but it was all slow-like so I was listening to it in a very strange way until I got home and used the Youtube speed thing to set it right...but now it's gone. :(

Also, it's not in stores either.

The good thing is, there's going to be so many different Star Wars to go around. So if you really didn't like this movie, you have Rouge One, Episode 8 and Han Solo movie directed by Lord and Miller. I'm okay if this movie is a good start.

George intended there to be sequels. Hence why he did that crazy rights thing and funded the other two out of his own pocket.

We arrived at the theater about half an hour ago, it's already about half full and it turns out the marathon is a completely sold out house. 500 people are coming to this theater to watch all of the Star Wars.

This is gonna be a hell of a show.

I can't believe you have to watch Phantom Menace at 4 in the morning. That sounds hellish.

I think it's been said, but I love how his character goes against one of the main themes of Star Wars, in general. Adam Driver sold it.

I mean, everyone sold it. I love all these new characters. I can't think of one I found annoying! I wanted more of Moz too! I love that I can look forward to a Star Wars movie, and feel optimistic again about the whole thing. Glad this one got out of the way so we can get to some real poo poo.

Why is it so important to everyone - Resistance and New Order - that they find Luke Skywalker? I know he's Luke Skywalker, but he's just one dude, he can't single-handedly determine the outcome of a war.




He kinda did before though. Almost single-handedly.

It's actually not taken directly from that, it's a new take and slightly different from the original. It was probably just recorded for the trailer though

Right but it came from that scene. It wasn't a cut line from the movie.

It was there because it's a good line and gets you excited for the movie.

If you go see the movie at IMAX starting tomorrow until the 10th of January, you can get a poster.

I agree though, that the movie seems to have a lot of faith in these two very boring leads to carry the rest of this franchise.. best of luck to Disney in this regard.

Most people like the leads, so they'll be perfectly fine.

Absolutely. The battle at the end of A New Hope is a prime example of how to build tension towards a climax. There was no tension at the end of TFA. The heroes never seemed trapped or outnumbered as they did in the original trilogy. Everything went exactly as planned, and the audience knew exactly how it was going to end.

The lightsaber fight was pretty tense.
