Marqee Edwards is having a Star Wars Marathon before the release. Starts at 4am and costs like $55 a person

---

Cinemark starts at 3am and is $50

That is way too early to watch the prequels. I'd be ready to kill myself by the time I see a little Rodian cheering on Ani in the podrace.

Are marathons being shown in numerical order? At least, you'd be able to tell yourself that it is going to get better.

You don't talk that way about Boonta Eve!

Yes. starts at 1.

Hearing the VERY well placed Han/Leia Love theme in this trailer was really powerful for me. It made me realize that whenever Han does go out (I have no idea for all you spoiler fiends), I hope Leia is by his side and they go out together fighting the good fight. This could also be an even more powerful moment if they do indeed have a kid or kids in play in here.

PS: Last I saw the trailer count on the star wars youtube channel was right at 13 million. Boom!

I know it's a random thing to want to see, but anyone think we'll see Coruscant in TFA or in VIII and IX?

A great way to enjoy the prequels more is to imagine Ric Olie doing commentary during key scenes.

TPM
Hey, that guy with the devil horns has two lightsabers together, like a DOUBLE lightsaber!

AOTC
Hey Anakin, your mom is dead!
Ouch, getting your hand cut off hurts!
Shhh! Jar Jar is giving an important speech!

ROTS
Chancellor Palpatine sure wants Anakin to leave Obi-wan behind!
Whoa! There goes Kit Fisto's severed head!
Yikes, someone left the oven on at the Jedi Temple!

Is it going to be good? Yes.

Is it worth buying tickets two months in advance to put up with massive crowds, retardation, and probably violence in some theaters? Hell no.

Ill go see it a week or two later.

---

violence at Star Wars movie? doubt it.

and there's reserved seating with printed tickets so the long lines will only be at the concession stands.

---

You are delusional. You cant pack that many folks in that many small places and not expect idiocy to occur.

Just bought my tickets for Sunday morning. Shouldn't be too many stabbings going on.

I'll take Jar Jar Binks over Sam Worthington any day.

Let's be honest, as awesome as the original Star Wars is/was, it wasn't exactly a beacon of originality either. The great thing about it was Lucas combining all of his influences in a really cool way.

Ha! I swear, on about the third or fourth watch of the trailer, the thought came into my head, "I wonder how they'd react if he told him who really brought down the Empire."

Good God.

This movie broke the Fandango first day sales record. EIGHT TIMES OVER.

imagine a movie like avatar where instead of avatars that look/act like the nav'i, Sam Worthington occupies an avatar that looks like a Gungan...you could throw in Affleck and j-lo in supporting roles just to make sure it's the worst thing ever created

Get Michael Bay to direct it and I'm in.

Assuming they count Thursday showings towards opening day gross (which they usually do), does anyone think this has a shot to beat HP's $91m opening day?

The big thing it's got going against it is the date. Most kids are still in school, right?

Fantastic.

So I may have missed this at some point in the discussion, but I was just thinking that perhaps this movie isn't so much about finding Luke. Rather the plot revolves more around Rey finding herself and figuring out where she is really from, and that Luke ends up being a part of that journey. And the film involves her more or less getting caught up in something bigger than her, that the Force pulls her into.

Hey man it was just an idea that popped into my head today when thinking about how exactly Rey plays into this whole thing. Finn, Han, Poe, Leia, Chewie, and Kylo make sense. Rey's reason for getting involved or caught up in everything must have been missed by me.
