On the 2nd day till Sithmas, my true love sent to me
Eleven younglings dying,
Ten Sith Lords leaping,
Nine Ewoks dancing,
Eight handmaidens milking,
Seven Gungans swimming,
Six buns a Leia,
FIVE GOLD(en) LEADERS,
Four falling Mauls,
Three Nerf herders,
Two Rancor-dragons
and a Poe Dameron in a Force tree.

So a few things that I have realized having reread some of the tweets TCTTS posted.
-Sounds like we hit the ground running, and don't really slow down.
-Emotions will run high. (Tears maybe?)
-The new generation of heroes are a winning combination.
-Already better than the Prequel Trilogy.
Yep, I'm ready for some Star Wars in my life.

SW hit the ground running; I think people kind of forget that once upon a time they didn't know the background story. Also, the prequels probably spent too much time in the weeds.
I'd agree with that.
Yep. Rewatching Star Wars, it's pretty awesome how much stuff happens in that movie and how even the pacing is.
Damn it, I told myself I'd limit how many reviews I'd look at, but now I'm counting the hours until the embargo lifts.

Not as old as the prequels are terrible.

With the great anticipation and joy people are feeling about this new Star Wars movie, can we PLEASE lay off the Lucas bashing for just a few days?
It's getting old.
I felt like the tweet was mocking those people.

Gooood. Goooooooooooood.

Move along now

Sounds like the movie is begging for people to watch it more than once... just to take it all in and process it all. I sorta figured this might be the case.
I say stay strong Brian... I don't plan on reading a single review! Keep in mind, even if a reviewer doesn't give a single plot detail, he will no doubt go into his pros/cons list. As soon as you read something like, for example, "in the middle of the movie there is a new character introduced and it really slows down the movie and the scene is really out of place".... as soon as you read that your brain is now conflicted when that scene happens in the movie. I think you would much rather go in with a blank slate and have no opinions about anything.

I must say it's a nice time of year to not be on social media (or have a smartphone, BES) because I feel no anxiety about any review spoilerage.
In the meantime, I've convinced my wife, over the course of 2 hours, to let me take my 3-year-old superfan to see TFA next week during her Christmas vacation. She ran into an old friend (literally at first) yesterday at Best Buy.

How long is this thread going to stay spoiler free? I'm not going to get to see TFA until after Christmas so that I can watch it with my dad and little brother, so I'd like to check out this thread for as long as possible but don't want to ruin it for myself.
OFFICIAL SPOILER RULES: This was established in the spoiler thread as well, but since some are still asking I thought I'd post again. It was agreed that this thread would stay spoiler free through December 31. Anybody that has seen the movie (or reads spoilers ahead of time) will start using the spoiler thread from now until the end of the year.
If you have seen the movie and want to post non spoiler stuff in this thread during that time, please use extreme caution on what you post. Even giving a non specific mini review of the movie will be considered a spoiler by some. There should be plenty of discussion in the other thread to leave this one alone for those that are waiting a few days.
Billy Dee: "You old pirate, great to see you! Hey I heard on the radio they were going to make some more of the Star Wars movies, any idea when that's going to get going? I can't wait to put on the cape and be Lando again!"
Harrison: "Hey look over there, it's Lobot!" (runs away)
Billy Dee seemed pretty happy to voice Lando in Rebels based on the interviews he gave IIRC. Just I remember the interview he did at the Anaheim Celebration and I don't know if he would be as good as he was in the OT as Lando.
Pictures and videos of people's theater experience are most welcome, though.
Was going to wait until next weekend to see it but couldn't wait any longer. Tickets purchased for Sunday afternoon showing. Will be suprising the kids with it after church Sunday.

****. Won't be seeing this until Sunday. Way underestimated my ability to delay gratification.

quote:They just need to come up with a way that Lando bought it. We are talking about 30+ years of conflict following ROTJ. There is no way damn way 100% of the characters survived it all.

At the very least, he can keep the phone in his pocket and just record audio.
That ovation for Lucas tho.
