Everyone be sure to update in here when you are going to the movies, what theater, date and showtime, etc.

also what snacks you plan to order.

Popcorn, no butter. Large Cherry Coke. Plus various candy I sneak in.

Its not like they're patting you down, Capone.

If opening day is December 18, how is it that we all have these December 17 at 7pm showings? What happened to the first showing happening at midnight the day before opening?

 

[Zigg]

So far, I've seen Star Wars related commercials for Cover Girl, Gillette and Duracell.

Wtf is that about? Mrs Bats came home last weekend with that info and thought it's already out of control. Packs of water in Home Depot have R2-D2 on them. It might already be overkill and this is before an ABC special with Grays anatomy people telling their favorite SW memories tonight. :X

 

[AAABatteries]

If opening day is December 18, how is it that we all have these December 17 at 7pm showings? What happened to the first showing happening at midnight the day before opening?

I think, but not certain, that it's limited opening on the 17th and full opening on the 18th.

This isn't new territory for Star Wars. In fact, Lucas is a merchandising trail blazer.

 

[moleculo]

Going midnight opening night.

Home have dinner with family.

Uber to local brewery, beers till 10:30.

Uber to theater, beer and popcorn.

Uber home, home to remember most of what happened.

Go again after the weekend.

do you think it's wise to have more than one beer before the movie?

I'm more inclined to go in completely dehydrated so I won't have to relieve myself during the movie.

 

[The Ref]

This thing is going to make an @$$ ton of money.

True. But Disney is an f'ing monster at it.

So a black guy is a stormtrooper and crashes on a tattoine and finds the force and goes on a rampage with Hans daughter?

They are back?

And why didn't they melt down that star cruiser for scrap?

 

[Politician Spock]

I understand the hate for Jar Jar. Not only was he f'ing annoying, but he was also a wuss. But I don't get the hate for Ewoks.

The Ewoks weren't exactly entertaining, but at least they did kick ###, where as the Gungans were getting their asses handed to them until Skywalker destroyed the mother ship.

I give Lucas a grade of C on the Ewoks, and D on the Gungans, and a complete F on the Jar Jar character.

 

[Billy Bats]

Because the Ewoks were originally going to be Wookiees until George had to sell space teddy bears.

Psst: many of us Star Wars fans are too old for a midnight opening.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

I'm probably just gonna wait and go during the day on the 21st

 

[Frostillicus]

. Never been to this theater before so I'm not sure what they have for food.

Yeah you might ask for a menu when you get there. Lots of variation from one movie theater to the next in terms of food offerings.

Go to any movies lately?

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when Kramer tried to bring in his gourmet coffee to the movie ("Did I tell you to put the balm on?")

Luke Skywalker was originally going to be Luke Starkiller. So what?

Not really a good analogy. Seven foot angry Wookiees fighting the empire with a realistic chance to win a battle or cute little teddy bears throwing sticks and stones?

Not even the physical size. Ewoks were the equivalent of an amazon jungle tribe that never knew a technologically advanced society existed outside their woods while the Wookies were and advanced civilization that had mastered space flight, laser weaponry and harnessed geothermal energy from their planet. It's like modern humans vs cavemen.

That's actually an aspect I really liked about Jedi. Wookies would have used technological weapons, which of course the empire would have known how to defend against. To me it looked like the empire was getting its ### handed to them by Ewoks because they weren't prepared to fight a non-technological battle. It was a weakness... like the thermal exhaust port. I'm glad Lucas didn't go with Wookies.

That's just stupid. Just like the exhaust port that extends kilometers from the core to the surface that will vent heat from that size of a core and only be 2 meters wide.

hmmmmm... you're right.... Lucas should have made the Ewoks as powerful as norse gods.

I mean obviously Lucas is a genius but let's not pretend that the Ewoks were good but Jar Jar was bad. They both were terrible.

I don't recall calling them Ewoks good. I gave them a grade of C. Their only redeeming value is that their characters weren't written to be push overs in battle like Gungans, and a complete wussie like Jar Jar.

Gungans had modern weapons and fought about as well as could be expected. No one ever called them Ewoks but that's what their toy package labeled them which was the point.

[Tom Servo]

How badly do you want to see it first? Are you willing to go to France?

Those of you who partake of this offer will take off from New York, Los Angeles, or San Francisco on December 15. You’ll then flit on over to Europe, landing at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, where you’ll be greeted by transportation ready to take you to the state-of-the-art EuropaCorp cinemas. Once there, you’ll be conveyed to a galaxy far, far away courtesy of J.J. Abrams and the rest of the folks behind The Force Awakens.

That sounds like a pretty sweet deal, right? It is, especially as the ride and the ticket are "complimentary" when you purchase the flight, though that will cost you a pretty penny. Flying out of New York is the cheapest option, with seats starting at $538 at the moment, while those of you on the West Coast will have to fork out around $700 for the trip.

You just don't understand all of intricacies of space physics. Light can be solid. Time can be measured in units of distance. Different people shoot first. Its just playing by rules beyond our understanding.

Hello, it was a small thermal exhaust port, right below the main port. The shaft led directly to the reactor system.
