Star Wars 7 - Warning - SPOILERS inside!
coming soon
Watching the new trailer last night was definitely fun! It looks good, and of course I love the music. I would be planning to go see it no matter what was on the trailer, and I'm kind of avoiding the bigger speculative stuff people are doing, but the trailer certainly piqued my interest. Really, just having Han there was enough for me.
Yeah, I was hoping that was just a Revan inspired mask for looking cool, but now that we hear him it does seem to be for breathing. But in the quick flash of the fight scene he's not wearing it anymore, so apparently not really necessary? Maybe he's just a Vader superfan. Dug the helmet out of the pyre and thought he needed one of his own if he's going to continue his legacy.The Top Crusader wrote:I LOL'ed a bit that the apparent main villain has to wear a Vader-like respirator
I have tickets for December 22. My brother and my Dad and I are going together. We wanted to go on the Saturday, but we might end up with a family gathering, and I didn't want to get tickets that I either couldn't use or be in a situation where I skipped/came late for a gathering and have to hear about it for the rest of my life so we just decided to wait a few days. It will still be within the first week.

I bought tickets for opening night having no idea if I'll be able to go or not.
Really? I'm not that brave. I knew I would be cranky if I bought tickets that I couldn't use, and I'm sure they'll be sold out if I wait too long. I hope you do get to go - that would be fun! I remember going to Episode 3 on the opening day - not the midnight showing, but the next afternoon, so still pretty cool...or so it felt at the time.

I'm really glad they do 7 or 8 pm showings the night before instead of midnight. It's great for old timers.
I can get most of my money back if I end up not using them, they charge a couple bucks but figured it was worth the risk. >_>

Oh yeah, if you can still get most of your money back, that's not too bad. I could just see getting tickets and then finding out I had a family gathering and then having to find a different day later and having way more limited options. It worked out because Tuesday is a cheaper day to go to the movies at the theatre we're going to, so the day that we could go actually will cost us a nice chunk less, since we decided to go to the VIP theatre for this movie. Nicer seats, no kids (not that I mind kids, but I don't mind seeing a movie with no kids in the theatre either...) and if I really want, I can order popcorn right to my seat. Plus you pick your exact seat when you buy your tickets, so it's not a big rush to be there early and get just the right spot. My seat is already saved for me right where I like to sit. I could have had all those things on Saturday and just paid a few more dollars, which we were totally willing to do, but not when odds are good we wouldn't be able to use them, or would have some unhappy relatives.

I want a theater that bans children.
I don't know what the world is coming to when people would put family over Star Wars.

A few years ago a VIP part of a theatre was built that serves alcohol, so for that area you have to be 18 or over (remember, not American laws.) I don't drink, but I don't mind having nicer seats and no kids now and then, especially for movies that are marketed towards children so much (superhero movies etc.) that results in kids that are way too young being in the theatre. Just because a five-year-old loves his Iron Man action figure and t-shirt doesn't necessarily mean he/she needs to see it on the big screen.
Maybe your family has shorter memories than mine. I can't imagine not hearing about it for the rest of my life, and that is a fate much worse than waiting a few more days to see Han Solo on the big screen!

I always hear about those theaters, they seem to be cropping up more and more... but not close enough for me to bother driving to. I'm going to start a theater that is obnoxious and doesn't serve alcohol, but doesn't let children in regardless. Also some kind of EMP to render cell phones useless.

I highly suggest using https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... kkbbfclokj until you see the film. Spoilers are flying everywhere.

Saw it last night.
I'll avoid any spoilers this early after release, but I'll say it was much better than the prequels (I know, shocking, right?) and really holds up to the original trilogy. A little more humor than the older films as well if I'm recalling correctly, but not to an annoying degree. It paralleled A New Hope in a lot of ways, it was a nice touch to end the film with the renewal of vows between Han and Leia, like the award ceremony thing at the end of Episode IV.

Saw it, loved it, want to see it again.
I got pretty emotional at times, it was great

Till the end of the line.
I was avoiding this thread until after I saw the movie, and I'm extra glad that I did, because if I had read this before I saw the movie, I would have some strong thoughts to express to you. I was very happy to go into the movie spoiler free!The Top Crusader wrote:It paralleled A New Hope in a lot of ways, it was a nice touch to end the film with the renewal of vows between Han and Leia, like the award ceremony thing at the end of Episode IV.
I did really enjoy the movie overall. Definitely lots of emotions throughout, and lots of great new characters and fun stuff. BB-8 was great - so adorable!
I thought this was excellent. Both just as a movie and more importantly as part of the Star Wars franchise. Some parts I really liked, a few parts I wasn't entirely sure about, but as a whole I definitely approve.I am very excited to be expanding the Star Wars universe and look forward to how this story is continued.
