Can't wait to see it a 2nd time.....my audience reaction was great but......

had this one guy directly behind me...and he reacted inappropriately at several points.

It became obvious after a while he did not know SW at all...and he was with kids who did and was not controlling them.

Sometimes he audibly said "WTF" when he didn't get something....or "who's that?"

When it showed the Millennium Falcon and Luke going inside he said "what the....how did that get there?"......one kid said to him "thats the Millenium Falcon" and he says "oh....yeah i thought so".

Jesus kill me.

I don't mind new people being introduced to SW but jesus watch ONE movie sometime before you come OR just STFU and watch. In fact one of our group of 6 was a UK friend of my daughters who never saw any SW movies before and she loved it. We gave her a little backstory before but she just watched it for what it was.

Not like I have to tell people on this thread, but see this movie! See it now before someone ruins it for you.

No chance on Netflix when Disney will be doing their own thing soon.

Signs that I'm getting old: My initial thoughts are "it's too loud" and "does it really need to be 2.5 hours?"

This morning I took a look at the DLC in Battlefront II. The additional campaign stuff was OK. I assume there are more chapters coming.

The new TLJ map in multiplayer is pretty cool, though

better than TLJ.

They were probably thinking: "Welp, this suck ass movie had no actual lightsaber to lightsaber fight in it, so we better have our own."

It will be real interesting to see its legs.

The man-on-the-street word of mouth is not as positive as TFA, so I am betting this "craters" much quicker that TFA. Critics love it, but the fans are mixed-to-positive.
Disney has already made a profit, so it is all gravy, but this will not be reaching anywhere near TFAs total gross.

Those guys have no formal training, they just picked up those laser swords and were able to do that.

OMG. That makes TLJ so much better then, because ANYONE can be a Jedi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meal we had before seeing the movie.

most random post of the day....
but your pic has more to do with the plot of TLJ than Finn's did, so it is allowed.

My kids cracked up during the scene where Chewbacca was roasting dinner.

I should probably post my applewood smoked apple cider brined porg recipe on the food & spirits board...d8)

Because it's fun.

So I'm not SeattleAg pissed or anything. In fact I really liked the movie. But now that they've admitted that there was zero plan for a three movie arc, this thread has lost some interest for me. If the people in charge of the worlds most valuable movie franchise haven't bothered to plot a course out, why would I waste the next two years arguing about how it's going to turn out?

I stopped reading this thread many double moons ago but this is confirmed? I distinctly remember reports (unless I have revisionist history here) about the various directors meeting with one another to ensure consistency and continuity.

Was that false?

I know, and I'll be back tomorrow, but I really bought into the whole "Lucas story group has this all under control" thing.

George was crazy, and had lousy plot ideas, but he ran a tight ship.

I concur...
