Bad day to oversleep.  :lol The Wednesday screenings were pretty much sold out (some fairly bad seats left, but screw that), but I managed to get tickets for Thursday night, back row and center, my favorite spot. One day wait more is gonna be tough, but if I have a job or anything in December (not that unlikely) then waiting another day will probably go fairly quick.

and awesome montage of the posters. I think my favorite might just be Force Awakens, with the original right behind it.
I wouldn't say I love the original poster, but that image is hugely iconic so I've definitely got a soft spot for it.

Do it! It'll be the first time I'll see a movie in an IMAX theatre since we didn't have those here in Sweden. I'd say the new Star Wars movie is an excellent way to take my IMAX virginity. :biggrin:

I saw Prometheus in an IMAX and that was amazing.


but I saw Into Darkness at the BFI in London which is the UK's biggest IMAX screen and it was too big and the picture was blurry.  :\


So I would recommend not going for the biggest IMAX screen you can find.

I love how Darth Maul is the big bad in that poster when he's in the movie for like 15 minutes tops and dies almost immediately. :rollin

People say Darth Maul was cool, but maybe that's because he got little screen time, no dialogue which made him fairly mysterious. I'm sure if he got more screen time and had to deliver bad George Lucas prequel dialogue like the others, he wouldn't be so cool anymore.

There really was no point to Darth Maul at all.

Does he actually do anything in TPM ? Like - which has consequences ( besides killing Qui Gon of course - which itself has no consequences ) ??

He is never mentioned again after he dies either in TPM or any of the sequels....

Doesn't he show up in The Clone Wars? I've only seen an episode here or there, so hardly an expert.

I hated Maul when he first showed back up in Clone Wars. But once he got his shit together he was much cooler again.

I read a SWU book about him as an assassin - Shadow Hunter.  Real fuckin good.

I think the appeal of Maul was that he was one piece of a mother-fucking badass light saber duel.  The duels in the OT were slow and lumbering for the most part.  Then you have this 2-on-1, with a dual blade saber, jumps/flips, speed.  It was incredible.  That is where the 'awe' of Maul comes from (imo).

I actually meant the first movie, episode IV(?), not the first one in the timeline. But yeah it's pretty weird.

He was a cool character as a kid, because obviously his look and aesthetics whilst fighting is awesome, but after watching the movie again as an adult, he's clearly meant to be just that: A fun fight. The prequels really seemed to try and pull in a younger audience and usher in a new era of Star Wars fans and that was a big aspect of that movie, I think.

PLOT TWIST

The new Trilogy are so ludicrously lucrative they decide to go WAY back and do a trilogy of Prequel PREQUELS.

Episodes -3 -2 and -1 :lol


Future Generations are like " The CGI is really good then really shit then they have rubbish sets then its good CGI again wtf "

Maybe years ago but for the longest time he was dead against any more films after the prequels.

I am seeing articles that say SW fans are upset they have to watch football to view the trailer  :D

When this is up and viewed/posted, can someone articulate how much the trailer appears to reveal. Thanks!

I watched it, I adored it...   But at this point, I'm almost getting to the point where not only do I not want any spoilers, but I don't want to hear a lot of speculation either.   I might check this thread a few more times, but I'm thinking I may just "go dark" soon.   What if one of the speculations was right?   I've never had a movie that I wanted to be a surprise more than this one...not ever.

That's about where I am at. I generally stay away from specific reviews and threads about movies before seeing them. And while I am not totally geeked out to see this movie, I want to see it with as little knowledge going in as possible. See you guys on the other side!

hmmm

I don't know what to think.  First the poster brings out Starkiller base which seemed a step too far.

And I knew all about the rumors of Kylo Ren, but the whole I will finish what you started did not sit well with me.  The trailer took A New Hope's regression even further from Ep 1 = mega-Jedi to Ep 4 = I heard about the Jedi to Ep 7 = were the Jedi even real?

On a very positive note, I loved Finn's reaction going into the Kylo Ren duel.  He is overmatched and the fear is all over his face and body.

You are completely under-estimating how quickly things can fall into the depths.   There are HUGE swaths of kids who have never even heard of Bloom County...and that is still out there for everyone to see.    Can you imagine of someone (or something) buried all the stories of what happened?    At the very least, most of us are aware of the probable plot point that Luke (who is the last and final Jedi) has gone into hiding.     If people thought it better that The Force was never discussed for fear of The Dark Side coming back and creating another Empire (that is, if *everyone* felt that it was for the greater good that the force was never mentioned again) this becomes not only plausible, but a definite certainty.
