Looks like it could be good. I'm still not convinced. But I'm not pessimistic either.

I think that most people who are flipping their lids over it were already excited before seeing it.

It didn't change my neutral opinion.

Like, to me, I don't give a fuck. Even if it ends up being a so-so movie, still an excuse to eat popcorn and drink too much soda so that I have to plan a tactical piss. And if it ends up being great... well, that'll be sweet.

But I have faith they'll pull something decent off. We had Mad Max this year. Good things can happen.

I'll just wait for the theaters to not be a clusterfuck.

I don't do the midnight showings or any of that shit because I am just not that organized. People have to be off of work, the weather has to be nice, I have to be awake... so the stars will align before I see it. Still, it's fucking Star Wars, so I'm sure I'll get to it in the first week or two, assuming Christmas doesn't derail things.

I'll probably see it post-Holidays when all the die-hards are said and done and the normal people go out to see it. That way there's sure to be less of a rush.

It'll just be you, alone, wearing a Darth Vader mask in a quiet Michigan theater while a blizzard roars outside.

I was *this close* to Imax 3D at 7:00 ET. Would've been the best and first showing.... but the internet hates me, and timed out while reserving my center-ish seats. So instead it's gonna be 7:30 in regular 3D. So lame.

Edit -- HAHA, snagged it! Website came back up later, after everyone gave up. Only ten other tickets sold when I got mine.

I try for the midnight/opening weekend rush, because movie producers care about those numbers a lot. Every opening-weekend dollar makes it much, much more likely for movies like that to be made more in the future -- so if it's a franchise or genre or director or whatever that you want to see more of, you should vote with your money.

Then again, Star Wars really isn't in any danger of losing its funding, so NBD.

^ It is next to impossible for this movie to not be a financial success. They could announce that they've taken a different approach and every role will now be played by Nicolas Cage, and theatres would still be packed.

I will be buying the movie and then fast-forwarding through any scenes that do not involve Han Solo and Chewie, plot be damned.

This is going to be epic!

Btw... I have a crazy theory about the bad guy. It might be spoilery if it happens to be true so I'll put it in a hider, just in case.

Well, we see some dude with a robotic arm and a cloak patting a blue R2 unit. So yeah. I'm not convinced at all that Luke is the bad guy.

I AM, however, convinced that this movie will be totally awesome.

(Also, let's take a moment to recognize that the second black Jedi in the series is also the main character of a movie)

Yes, we do see Luke in that one shot. However, that could just be a flashback as to when he would turn to the Dark Side, as the scene does not really look that upbeat.

But as I said, it's just a theory.

What isnt a theory though is that the Mandalorians are definately going to play a role in this movie.

At ~1:38 you can see that fortress-like building with all the banners hanging up there. If you look straight above the door between the flags then you can see the symbol of the Mandalorians painted on the wall... And I dont think that's just a mere easter egg.

I heard something about a female villain, and considering how few women we see in the Imperial ranks, maybe she's Mandalorian?

Well... I know who the Female Villain is.



I am actually hoping that we're gonna see Boba again... Now that would be awesome :3
