There is a part of me that would love to as SW is my all time favorite franchise as the multiple versions on DVD, Blu Ray, Laserdisc, VHS and more than 200 books and comics in my collection would attest to...but I don't think I can sit in any theater for 15 or so hours. I say no now but if I was ever going to do something like this, Star Wars would be the only reason.
I wonder how much cgi they had to use on Carrie Fisher...
Not sure I can bother elbowing my way to an early ticket but I'll catch it eventually, movie looks good. I think my favorite part of the trailer is the score.
John Williams is a master. Just subtle enough to be different and new, but completely familiar too.
Got my marathon tickets for the Sherman Oaks viewing. Comfortable seats, assigned so I don't have to wait in line to not be stuck up front, and someone who is as big a fan as I am along with me. Couldn't be more excited. Not just for the new movie, but the whole event of seeing them all on the big screen again.
Gonna say it and I don't care, I like all six of them. Hate on haters.

I will chalk that up to hysteria. Seriously, every bad decision that could have been made in the prequels was. From the TOO SOON death of Qi Jon whatshisname, Darth Maul's terrible early exit in a death that rivaled Boba Fett's in the wtf category, the horrible Jango fett clone stuff, wasting Sam Jackson, Yoda cgi, Natalie Portman's disgraceful wooden acting and stilted accent, Hayden fn Christensen, need I go on. Those movies broke my heart 3 goddamned times and I haven't even mentioned he who shall not be named...let's not be silly son.
Double-bladed lightsaber
Kenobi and Skywalker lightsaber fight
Clone War battle scenes
Final shot with Vader and the Emperor looking at the death star being built
THE MUSIC!
There were plenty of good things too. They weren't the BEST movies ever, but there's still enough there that they at least fit the narrative. I mean hell, once you hit Tatooine in the first one, who doesn't take a nap till they get to the Cantina? How awful does the Vader and Kenobi lightsaber fight look on the Death Star? Or how about Luke's whining throughout the first movie? All I'm saying is, this new one is the best movie ever made.
I did standard showing, 7pm on the 17th. Will do the super Imax that weekend maybe.That's just mean...come on.
Got my tix, no 3d, no Imax...I just wanted to get in and see the damned thing. Can always do the flashy options after.
