I honestly don't know. I haven't seen a single person discuss it in the wake of the reactions, which isn't a good sign, but reactions this good have to count for something. I think a lot of it will have to do with how it resonates with fans and normal audiences. Like, if it becomes a "thing" where it's just breaking records and has a 99% RT score, that could count for a lot. The next week should tell us a lot...

That fookass Armond White will give it a rotten review. You just know.

The only way Armond White would give a Star Wars Movie a positive review is if it was directed by the Coen Brothers. They seem to be the only big time directors he consistently gives positive reviews to.

I'm legitimately trying to find negative reactions and I can't. That said, I'm anxious to see how much of this enthusiasm translates to the actual reviews in the morning. Or if the people who didn't like it are just keeping their mouths shut for now and holding everything for their review.

I'm there too. The absence of really any negatives.

The fact that repeated viewings makes it better.

Even read a tweet that pretty much said it'll make us question everything we've never questioned before.

I have seen a couple of tweets from reviewers who thought TFA was better, but none of those were people that are huge Star Wars fans.

How they generate sound in space?

Or how the plumbing works on a Star Destroyer?

Do they have TV?

I saw a tweet yesterday (can't find it, but it was a website's twitter account) that said it was the most exciting opening sequence in a SW film.

Or how they built the massive planet sized Death Star 2 and Starkiller bases so quickly.

So, guys, I think the reactions have convinced me to see this movie.

The real question will be how long after the movie release will you have someone post here saying the movie was bad. You know there is always at least one person that will do it.

Still on the fence. I was a solid red box on this one until the reviews came out. Now I am thinking maybe catch it in January when the crowds die down.

Going to make a prediction based on what I have read on this thread (I don't even go anywhere else for movie info). This is not a spoiler, because it is just my guess, but I am going to spoiler tag it anyways because I've predicted plot points on movies/tv shows before and later been accused of reading spoilers and posting them as my own prediction:

Going off the tweets, I think we are going to be introduced to a new threat, probably from another galaxy. It sounds like they are going to really expand the universe, and the way I see them doing that is bringing in people from "out there" that we have not seen before. Makes me think that Snoke is either - a new character from a planet we have not heard of until now and is invading and trying to take over the planets of the Republic.

OR my other theory is that Snoke knows of an outside threat and believes that what he is doing is the only way to protect and prepare for that outside threat. So he is actually trying to protect everyone from that outside threat by conquering and then unifying and preparing for the upcoming battle. An ends justifies the means type of thing

Very intriguing second point... I definitely am on board that

With at least a few characters, who we perceive as good and bad will be turned on its head in this movie. Perhaps someone being both and the emergence of grey jedi. My guess is Snoke is the big bad but is in cahoots or in a rivalry with luke to be the biggest of the bad, and that Kylo was being fought over by both of them as their mercenary of choice. Luke got betrayed and was waiting for another to step up, find him, and help him fill that void.

Well, based on what someone posted over the weekend, I'm starting to think I know where they're going with this.

This person knows who they are, and they're a real POS if they spoiled the movie for me and probably some others.

Some azzhat posted some spoilers apparently. I wasn't here for it, but mods edited the post with a warning. The poster should have a lengthy ban, but not sure what happened there.

Star Wars News Net is supposed to have about a 20 minute spoiler free podcast for the Last Jedi up after the embargo.
If you venture over there, stay away from reading any user comments.

This. I posted a warning on the other thread about it, but staff removed it cause I "called him a name", even though it was filtered out.

In any case, you can see the aftermath in page 63.

SWNN spoiler free review opening:

Whether you are an old-school original trilogy stalwart, a proud "prequelist", or a sequel trilogy newbie, The Last Jedi will challenge your Star Wars conventions. Rian Johnson has created the most uniquely different Star Wars film, and it's the generationally unifying masterpiece we needed.

That was crazy. The spoiler dude showed back up for a single post, told Brian to get over his "butthurt," and when I came back to the thread 30 seconds later his post was already deleted by staff.

Nice work, staff!
