A mashup of all of the trailers so far. Pretty well done.

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.

Yeah, like I said above...those notes, man...those few notes...

EVERY site was down. I was trying fandango, regal, arclight, el cap, and they were all timing out or crashed.

Conveniently, my Child's Non-Profit Band already booked us an entire theater at Arclight for opening night as a fund raiser, so my family is covered. I'll likely go see it again before the weekend is out.

This seems too methodical to leave luke out of everything, I'm betting it's for buzz by commission and I think it's gonna work.

Funny...me and SmytheKing were discussing this very thing.

That would be a very interesting twist. I believe that at the end of Episode VI, Kasdan (the writer) wanted luke to turn to the dark side but Lucas said no. There has been a lot of speculation that Luke will either turn out to be the bad guy or perhaps the leaders of the bad guys and did truly turn dark during the time between Jedi and Awakens.

I know the old cannon is all gone but that was certainly part of the struggle written into the Zahn storylines for luke where he had to decide to stop using the force or fall prey to it.

And a comic series, Dark Empire, where Luke turned dark for awhile. Have you started reading any of the "new canon" books?

Honestly havent read one in about 10-15 years. The expanded universe just got too crazy.

Yeah, it did get incredibly hard to keep it all straight...kept reading but really just because I enjoy the SW universe. Now that they have started from scratch, I'm back in and a couple of good books and one that was bit of a suck fest. The one I'm reading now, Lost Stars, is very good so far.
