I have 83 hours and 18 mins... (+20 or so mins of previews) and I have yet to see more than a couple of seconds of any trailers and I am already miffed as to how much I know! (well okay I know there are elements that will be in it but one thing a saw--and I am not coming back to this topic until after-- seems like a dumb idea.... oh well as long as there is not a 2nd starkiller base...

ok, i lied... well it was true.... from a certain point of view! I am back!

few thoughts!

One I had the same dream I had with the last 2 star wars movies... that it was on TV the night before! and all three it was bad! Like they were stuck on Earth! But this time I realized it was a dream and I went to look for Prince... I did not find him

this time I have reserved seats! Wow! What a great idea! that means no going there an hour before and having some fool trying to save 10 seats! I can get there right at 7PM and no problems!

I do wonder if the Solo trailer will be shown!? I have to decide if I will watch it or not? (I think I will)

Overall it was great.

I can’t imagine there’ll be many deleted scenes in the special features. It felt like they were all left in.

Not sure how much to say here. Are we going full spoiler on thins thread? I mean you wouldn’t click on the thread if you wanted to avoid spoilers right?

I hated Starkiller base. It was totally rediculous.

Loved the homage (unintentional I’m sure) to Spaceballs. Cant’s say what it was without a major spoiler.

As an action adventure movie - 10/10

As a Star Wars continuity movie - 3/10.

I can't believe how many plot holes in it, from either the a general story telling or in the general mythology.

Yeah, I'm pretty au fait with the Star Wars franchise and I couldn't see any huge mythology holes ...

If there is though, I'd rather it be a great adventure movie and a poor SW continuity one, than a poor adventure movie that's spot on continuity wise (*cough* Phantom Menace *cough*)

I'm with you, DT.

Along those lines, I think destroying the continuity of the saga was the point.

I am alittle late to the party but ... saw it yesterday ....

I must say ... I am surprised alittle at some reviews ... I mean people who criticize the fact that when Luke became one with the force - where was his metal hand ? ... thats goin alil too far ...

and even when his sister goes into space .....

The good news I think about Star Wars has always been the surprises .... and the space battles and in that way .... i dont think this movie was that bad ... or it didnt disappoint ....

i think on rotten tomatoes now the critics say 93% and the audience says like 53 ... i am alittle surprised by that .... but i just say after leaving the theator and thinking about it ... i see where that comes from ... the star wars geeks like the star trek geeks like to think about it alot ....

the low to me was actually Yoda ... really ? u cant make Yoda look better ... ???? this is 2017 ... mad
