The Star Wars Thread!!

[Bostonian]

Okay I didn't see any thread up for this, so here it is - the official unofficial star wars thread. Tonight at 9:45 I am seeing the new movie and I am excited as all can be!

Who else here is a fan?

Not a fan per se - but will probably see it, just because. Not sure when!

am a fan but not sure when i will see it

If this weather stays as un-winterlike as it has been, I may have plenty of unexpected weekend/vacation free time on my hands in the next couple of weeks and see it. Otherwise I'll likely be waiting until it's out on Blu-ray

It's a good excuse to go see a film in IMAX 3D.

Even though, Star Trek > Star Wars.

Seeing it tonight at 7. I will not spoil it for anyone!

I was comparing the franchises as a whole. I'm barely factoring in the Abrams films, but even those are so much better than the last SW trilogy that it's not even a conversation, IMO.

As I child in the 7os I loved the original and still love watching those classics . The last one were such disappointed so I hope this one is good. Probably wait for to come out on cable box rental so I drink and watch without huge expensive. Anyone who sees a review not spoiler would be much appreciated. Enjoy the movie.

But if I due recommends Middletown NY discount cinamea for seeing this movie always less then crowded Galleria.

Please post a yes or no answer to this question . There's speculation Luke goes over to the Dark side , since hes not on any posters. Thats enough for me not to bother.
I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the marketing everywhere anyway .

Maybe he can PM you with the answer...I'd rather wait until seeing the movie to find out.

Not going right away but definitely want to make it to the theater in the next few weeks.

Doubt I'll see it anytime soon. Haven't been to the movies in over a decade despite the fact I have a free pass. The local theater leases part of our land, pass is a perk.

No give way s just a quick roeview like it better then the last 3 horrible ones enjoy and hope it is fantastic.

I saw 4 (1?) And didn't bother with the other two.

Such a let down, which I think in part had to do with my expectations being set too high. Being born in 75, Star Wars was a huge part of my childhood. When it came back it just wasn't the same. It had jumped the shark.

Movie was good... A little muddled storywise and really more like a remake of the first one.

Just go out and have to say I liked it. There are some great cinematography and these guys can actually act, unlike Hayden Christianson and Natalie Portman. God they were aweful. Great to see the geriatric Han and Leia, nestalgia with enough to make me want more. My 7 and 9 yo loved it too. Different perspective for them, they liked this better than any one the original 6.

Thanks, I'll end up there sometime , Also liked the first Independence day.

It was excellent. They made good choices for the heroine... Unsure of the nemesis, he was ok, but all are clearly chosen for 5-6 episodes. We'll see how he develops. They brought back the witty dialog that was a Han Solo trademark and transferred it. The origins of the current conflict is a bit murky, but who cares! It's Star Wars done right!
