Star Wars Discussion Thread v. Rogue One

[BlobVanDam]

I'll be seeing it at 7:30pm tomorrow, so roughly only 32.5 hours!

16 hours for me.

[Implode]

I'm jealous of all my Irish, U.K., European, Australian, and New Zealand friends that get to see it a day ahead of me.

[jonny108]

Going to a MIDNIGHT showing tonight !!!

Me too  6 hours and counting. Also seeing it in IMAX 3D on Friday.

HUGE SPOILER

Massive Star Wars spoiler.

Star Wars spoiler:

[jingle.boy]

Might need to avoid some rather popular places on the internetz in general.  jingle.son is totally bummed that he just got spoiled about something pretty major via Instagram.  He's holding it in, but quite clearly bummed.

So, guess I'll be gettin off FB too for the next couple of days.  Luckily, I don't use the tweeters.

[Implode]

You can infer from the trailers and from the fact that it's likely going to be the same story as the first movie, that someone is going to die. No idea who though. I'd rather not be spoiled on that either. It could be Han, or Finn (god I hope it isn't), or maybe even Kylo...his actor isn't slated to be in VIII, so who knows?

(Not posting in the spoilers thread because it's just speculation. Not actual spoilers.)

I doubt Rey would be so emotional over Kylo Ren's death

[Zook]

I don't get it, but okay.

Bosky, you're a national treasure.

But not the crappy kind with Nicholas Cage, the good kind like Betty White.

Hey asshole, those movies are great!

[jammindude]

[BlobVanDam]

Bit of a stretch. It's the first 4-5 albums for Metallica, and after the Star Wars PT, people mostly weren't expecting or anticipating more movies until TFA came along, which by all accounts has redeemed it.

[Pragmaticcircus]

I'm gonna see TFA in a week, how do I avoid spoilers till then? Besides the obvious..

[BlobVanDam]

I don't know what counts as the obvious, but be wary of the kinds of people you have on social media who might feel the need to blab, maybe block some people until you've seen it. Social media altogether is a crapshoot for spoilers.

[kaos2900]

12.5 hours to go!

[MetalJunkie]

Sitting in the theater. 17 minutes to go!

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

Got myself tickets for Sunday! 

Can't wait!!

Star Wars Main Theme - Single by Galactic Empire

[adace]

I've literally had dreams about this movie for the past few months and I'm finally gonna see it Monday!!

I had a dream the night before I saw it that it was going to be awful. The first half of the movie was some random Empire characters doing paperwork or something, then it was some kind of board game with diagrams. It was quite strange.

totes.  i'm definitely going again.  this blows the hind tits off any of the prequels.

[hefdaddy42]

Good to hear the positivity!

I have to wait until Monday to see it.

yep. I'm going to take the kiddos on Sunday I think....this movie is the PERFECT transition to the future of STAR WARS......very well done IMO

[Implode]

With a new Star Wars movie coming out every year, how long do you guys think it'll take before the hype collapses and/or they drive the series into the ground? Do you think the endless possibilities of the universe will actually be taken advantage of in a way that won't make it seem like they are scraping the bottom of the barrel in 4 years?

[Lucien]

Going to see it again today in the very early afternoon, as it won't be as busy

Is there one every year? I mean I know Rogue One comes out next year followed by episode 8 which will give us a star wars movie every year up to 2017, are there more standalone movies planned after that?

[Implode]

I thought Disney said that their plan was to have spin-off movies in between each of the trilogy movies and then a new Star Wars movie every year for the foreseeable future.

[hefdaddy42]

Yes, that's what they said.

Yes, that's what they said.

I think there are so many avenues and possibilities in that universe....so many characters to explore....that they could keep it fresh with some good writing and original ideas.

[Implode]

The possibilities are indeed there. I hope you're right.

To bring discussion back over here, let's do some rankings! From best to worst, my favorite Star Wars movies are as follows:

5
7
4
6
3
1
2

And also, I think the prequels are objectively lazily written and directed films. That doesn't mean people can't enjoy them, but to say they are as good as or better than the OT is misguided. Also, to say that it's completely opinion-based is unfair to the art of film making. Ask anyone with experience in film or credibility; the overwhelming majority agrees that the prequels are simply not good.

LOL @ that.

I'm thinking that VII will wind up between I and V.

Rankings:  What DTF does best.

I refuse to rank TFA after just 4 days and one viewing.

[Implode]

LOL @ that.

For research purposes, how old are you? And how old were you when you first saw the prequels?

[Polarbear]

Okay, let's rank the Star Wars movies then. Im still not 100% sure where TFA will land but, it's most likely third on my list.

Attack of the Clones might be one of the worst movies i have ever seen. It's in the same league as Batman&Robin, Wicker Man(Nicholas Cage) and The Happening. It is just embarrassing. Ep.1 has a few redeemable moments, and ROTS was actually pretty decent.

[hefdaddy42]

I'm seeing TFA tonight!

Current rankings:
