Star Wars: The Force Awakens

I remember when the Xbox 360 first came out. Some people lined up overnight at my grocery store because we had an electronics department. I worked overnight, so as soon as I was off I pretended to be a customer who got there before them. And when they told me they were waiting all night and asked how long I was waiting and how I got in, I said I just got there and came in the other door. They were so pissed it was hilarious. But we didn't have any anyway. I just wanted to troll them.

But seriously lining up that long for a movie is the dumbest thing. I would not suffer that much just because I couldn't wait for something that I wanted.

Yes

For major theaters in big popular locations it's commonplace.

Yeah, this has been speculated for a long time. I'd be more shocked if they weren't.

Excited!!!!

Nien Nunb!!!!!!

How the hell do you pronounce Nunb.

Sounds like a cross between "Nun" and "Numb". It's Nun with a soft B.. Nien is pronounced "Nine".

New international posters...

Apparently some people were complaining it was "racist" against whites.

While PC is a thing I'd say this is a stupid gripe in this case - I mean Lando was a black guy, and considering that Star Wars is a Sci-Fi film with completely different [/i]species[/i] (Yoda, Chewy, Ewoks, etc) it's pretty absurd to say that including a black guy in a main role is "promoting diversity". There was nothing "white" about Star Wars to begin with.

George Lucas is white. And he created the damn thing.

Not a big Star Wars guy but sorta been sucked into the marketing of this thing. I'll see it eventually just not sure if i'll go to the movies to see it. But I've been watching a bunch of interviews of the cast and Harrison Ford is kind of an *******. There is sort of a charming way to come off as an ******* but he just comes of jaded by all the movie business to me. Don't know just my opinion.

Also Boyega gets asked about being black in the movie every interview. That has to get old quick. He handles it pretty well, he is a star. Charisma oozes out of him. Be interesting to see where his career goes from here. I know RDJ is mentoring him.

I've been watching the saga since last week. Tomorrow I watch Return Of The Jedi, and then wait 4 days for The Force Awakens. Its going to be a very rare but exciting experience. I've done well to avoid spoilers. I wouldn't say that I've been spoiled so far, at least not yet.

Watching episodes 4-6 (the original unchanged versions) next weekend.

This a list of all the trailers that we'll see with the movie in case one is curious....

• Independence Day: Resurgence (trailer that was released today)
• The Jungle Book
• Exclusive 30-second IMAX teaser for Deadpool
• Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (newest trailer)
• Captain America: Civil War (just recently released first trailer)
• Warcraft

Well I bought my ticket for next week. Sunday will be a good day for me.

Does anyone know when the critics get their first viewing? Like when will scores start appearing or do they have to wait like the rest of us?

Some people say it's a bad sign when a movie doesn't allow critics an early viewing but in this case I think it's understandable.

I think it's tonight Gandalf.
