Back in late August my youngest and I had planned too but then the move happened. I will see it eventually but 12/18 isn't going to be in the cards...

Lucky you are....
:) Me too!! Me too!! Me too!!
...Albeit, probably not 'til after Christmas.... :'(
-
Hopefully next week when we're off to the inlaws...
-
Be sure to post any surprises and tell us all about the ending.
So is mark hamill in the movie or what?
I saw the original star wars at the cinema. Late 70's.
Oh' and vile, keep a lookout if there are any squarebodies in any scenes. 73-87's!!
-
i too plan on seeing it just not anytime soon. i dont do movie theaters, idk if it ptsd from work but i really dont like to have people behind me especially in the dark. one time i was down a tier. the power went out and the generators failed to come on, i was all the way at the end of the tier and i dont think my feet ever moved that fast before lol
-
Just got finished watching it, it's good, it's really good
-
so what happens?..... j/k
-
Yeah i was kidding too, dont spoil it. Unless they went back in time and drove a squarebody. Haha
I dont do theaters either, i get nervous in crowds. And, i dont wait in lines either. Im not special, just hate lines. Dont tell anybody, but when in traffic i use my badge and hit the breakdown lane. Total abuse.
-
ill wait for it to be released on DVD. im not super excited about it but i guess it cant be any worse than episodes I, II and III.
or can it?
-
I have to agree with flatblack, those episodes stunk. Star wars, empire and return of jedi were awesome. Just like rocky 1-3.
Some movies were not meant to have a sequel, like jaws and smokey and the bandit. Gross!
-
My son called me as he was walking out of the theater and was so exited... Said I had to see it with him next Tuesday... Guess it is father and son time...
-
Yes, nobody post any spoilers! I will say this, I've been a mega fan since the beginning but I HATED the prequels. I also despised the special editions. Needless to say I was pleased to learn that this movie would not be influenced by George Lucas. Not sure what happened to that man, how could you make something so epic and iconic and turn it into...that? It couldn't have all been about $ anyway
I did not wait in line and I also do not generally go to the movies but there was no way I waiting to see this. You can buy tickets in advance and pick your seats like you would do on an airplane for the imax theaters. I saw it in imax 3D which I was skeptical about because the last 3D movie I saw was Jaws 3D LOL but I was pleasantly surprised. the screen was huge, the sounds was incredible and the 3D wasn't cheesy at all.
If you like the originals you must check out the despecialized editions http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Harmys-STAR-WARS-Despecialized-Edition-HD-V25-MKV-IS-OUT-NOW/id/12713
and if you liked the originals you must go see this. Get a seat in the back of theater if you don't like people behind you, you'll forget you're even in a theater. There are small nuances as in anything that you might not like but overall I think most will thoroughly appreciate this. My woman couldn't have cared less about going and when she left she admitted she loved it, she cried and said "I feel like a different person now" lol
-
My philosophy regarding Star Wars is i've only seen 4,5, and 6, which, to me are really 1,2, and 3. i didn't see 1,2, and 3 and don't plan on seeing 7,8, or 9. i feel i can still celebrate the spirit of Star Wars in the present by admiring 4,5, and 6.
2) @Philo
There was, as you may remember, a square in Star Trek 4 which had a prominent role.
-
I did not know there was a squarebody in star trek, will look for it. Cool.
-
The voyage home
-
Yup, that sure is...cool!
-
thats the one with the whales. its on nexflixs
-
I'll check it thanks. And irish, since your up, take a peek at my timing ques on the other post. Fast idle screw adjust.....
-
lol you think i sleep?
-
but in all seriousness i think rich, bd and vile are better suited for carb adjustments. i know the basics of my carb but it may not even be right. i think i had some info on tuning the carb ill look for it
-
Haha,, Good one...
-
I saw it on the 21st. I liked it. Hated 1 in fact I tell people who ask not to watch it at all... 2 and 3 are a little better but they are nothing in comparison to the new one...
-
No doubt. I find the prequels unwatchable.
-
I just saw the new one last sunday. I thought it was really good. Now 1- not so much. That one was bad.
-
I saw the latest Star Wars last weekend.
I now have seen all 7 Star Wars movies on the big screen. (I may have just given away my age.....)
Funny part is I am not a fan of sci-fi. I'm more into history, and I NEVER go to the movie theaters......wierd.

Why, yes Vile, i am watching the new star wars movie. Actually i just watched it with my son. I thought it was awesome. The original cast, the bad guys (the first order), even a glimpse of vadar and the "dark side" theme music. And of course, skywalker, i had no idea about the ending. I avoided all news about the movie, and it was worth it. I didnt even know about Solo.
I do have one question, why and how did that girl have the "the force" with her?
-
Lot's of speculation there. Could be Luke's daughter, could be a Kenobi, who knows how they'll play it out. did you see the new movie coming out is supposed to be before the first one?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wji-BZ0oCwg
-
No, i had no idea. What do you mean before the first one? What first one? I hate prequels, they mess me up time-wise.
-
I just watched the new movie as well, I speculate it is Luke's daughter, age is about right, she seems younger then Hans son, plus when she found Luke saber, the flash back sort of had her envisioning when her parents left, which could be when Luke fled after kylo turned dark.

-
Yeah, that could be. Cant believe hans got it that way, his son is pretty dark. But thats what i really liked about the movie, NOT that predictable. Perhaps we all thought luke and the gang would all be out fighting bad guys. That would have been predictable and boring. Not so,,,thats why it was so good. And its really hard these days to make a good sequel. They gave us just enough for us in the 40-50 year range and some new characters for the newer younger crowd. Very well scripted.
Interesting...

-
Ohhhh, before the "first one" the "real" and normal first one. I hated I, II and III. So thats it for rey and finn? I though it was cool when rey started to overpower kylo. I believe we'll see them again, obviously.

Yeah i'll have to watch it a few more times and pick up those tid-bits you miss when watching the first time.
-
Vile what do you think if on the last scene where luke turns around and pulls off the hood, instead it shows him reaching out with the black vadar hand and grabbing the saber, all as the camera zooms out.
https://youtu.be/W1937VEYguI
-
A lot of people thought that he should have done something other than look. It certainly would have been more suspenseful if he had a reaction. I've been waiting for you Rey, or force grabbed the lightsaber or if he threw her off the cliff or something other than looking at her and probably thinking, I only made enough nacho's for me!
-
Hahaha!!!! LOL!!!!
-
Or,,,if skywalker walked towards rey and when he took a step the camera caught that he was wearing cheap walmart flip-flops.
-
Yeah, a real cliff hanger ;)
-
Vile, this thursday is the rogue one trailer. Saw clips, looks good.
-
Hope so, I saw that Superman/Batman movie. So many bad reboots, let's just hope they don't mess this one up.
-
I had high hopes for the superman/batman, although i sill need to see it. Heard it wasnt exactly epic.
-
I'd rather watch re-runs of Bubble Guppies.
-
Wow, thats pretty bad. Lol
-
i want to have a restaurant called "Sandcrawler." And the restaurant would be-----you guessed it, a lifesize replica sandcrawler.
The waitstaff would dress as droids, C3PO's etc. and serve you like that.
-
That would make the news.
-
i should probably get my exhaust system fixed ;D
-
-
VZ, did you catch the trailer? Looks good, they held out to the end and then a quick shot of Vadar in his prime. Got a few goosebumps, lol.

Add blue milk to the menu and the cantina band playing the same song over and over
-
Yes I saw it. It has SW elements but I didn't get a SW feel from it except for the second they showed Vader.

Well, keeping with the Star Wars theme, slightly branching off, but since Mark Hamill was in it and it's definitely car related it's still on topic.

Whoops, sorry. I didnt know that. Wow, i can see why you stated "lol". Geeezz...i wasnt even being a wise guy, honest.

i think in the more recent episodes they were using more remote control whereas in the earlier ones KB was in there.
-
Yeah irish, i never knew either there was a little man in there.
-
i mean they built a tie fighter but they couldnt build a robot. cmon i call bull, i think its all fake now
-
Well, at least all the avenger movies are real like iron man and thor and all that. So lets just pretend star wars is real, it's funner that way. Funner?

Went to the PEZ factory with the kids the other day. Lots of Star Wars stuff.

Just watched all three of the "originals" with my son who never saw them. Took me back a little. Actually picked up a few things. I still have that luxury, as i never saw them 50 times each like most fans have.
-
Remind me and i will give you copies of the Despecialized Editions.

I never heard of those editions. Sounds interesting...

VZ, does this line up, i find it confusing.
http://screenrant.com/star-wars-force-awakens-kylo-ren-first-order-explained/
Usually i have to watch these movies with my kids, 11 and 15, so they can tell me whats going on. Lol
-
Why does rey have "the force" ?
-
I assume that is to be explained in the next movie.
-
Ok, reason is they are showing all the star wars movies to get everyone hyped up for rogue one. And we just watched the force awakens, and the question just kind of hit me. But i dont see how they can explain rey that far back. Or do you mean the next rey/fin episode?
-
Rey has nothing to do with Rogue One. I mean the NEXT movie ;)
-
Ok, i got it. I hate prequels!! Lol
-
I hate the prequels. They are so bad I can't stomach them or consider them relevant.

I agree, what the heck is liam neesin doing in star wars!? The worst thing is, they made three of them! They should have never went backwards that far. Rogue one should be fine though.

VZ, (among others) must be getting exited for next friday night.

-
Not as excited to see this one and probably from the trailers revealing too many parts that are cheesy. I'm more curious than anything but it's obvious Disney is looking for ROI and plan to cash in on this. I just hope it's decent and that the trailers aren't a true reflection of what this will be.
-
I thought force awakens was real good, considering the time frame and all, the new characters worked out well. As long as they dont overdo it, rogue one should be ok. Who is doing vadars voice, james earl jones...still?
But regardless...its a new stars wars movie. Thats exiting.
-
That's what I thought and then there was Jar Jar
-
That's what I thought and then there was Jar Jar
Lol!!!!!!!!
Oh my word!!! I thought he was dead!!
You had to remind me!! Thanks a lot, now i got that bar song still in my head AND that retard alien jar jar!
-
Opening day! Anyone going?
Dress as jar jar and go. Lol
-
I will probably try and go tomorrow or Sunday. My woman just had her eyeball operated on and they replaced her cornea so I'm on kid duty. I'm trying to avoid the topic on facebook etc since there are so many people who love to spoil. I heard they steal the plans to the Death Star lol
-
Lol, yes, i do recall something about the death star plans. Yup, i've had plenty of kid duty details. We sure do appreciate the wives when we're stuck with mac n cheese. Even thats a lot of work. Lol
Yeah, watch the spoilers. Hope her eye heals well.
Ps. Sorry about the jar jar pic, that was a mean thing to do. Lol
-
I saw it today
-
I heard a couple of folks said it was awesome. One guy i know said it was the best ever.
-
You didn't see it yet?
-
No, my son really wants to. We'll go right after Christmas in Enfield. Will i like it? Remember i'm an old schooler, i saw New Hope at the theater...when my truck was on the assembly line. Lol

So...how was it? (Without spoiling)
-
It's great. A little dark, but covers all the bases. Some people complain about certain CGI parts, but I thought it was well done and seeing two old characters look young was cool.
-
It was good.
-
Sadly, we just lost the princess. I sure hope she knew the Lord.

Just walked in the theater. 3 people in here.
-
Oh yeah? Did you all sit next to each other?
-
***Spoiler Alert**** Don't read any further if you haven't seen it.-VZ
Funny that you say that, a thousand seats and someone has to pick the seat in front of you, i mean really??!!!! Not this time, wide open.
Anyway, i never seen vadar so upset before, that scene where he stormed in at the end, he was ripped! And how did they get that shot of the young princess? Lots of makeup? Lol
Overall, i thought it was good.
-
The climax, what everyone wanted to see. Rumors were that he was supposed to be in the film more and very villainous but we only got a taste of Vader, not that pansy they made in the prequels. They have all of these spin offs that are supposed to happen like Han Solo, Boba-Fett, Kenobi etc. All we need is Vader
I am looking forward to seeing EP 8
-
I agree with the pansy from the prequels. Yeah, it would have been nice to see a little more of the ruthless vadar in his prime.
Yup, also looking forward to 8.
Good that you warned about the spoil, i kept it somewhat mild but ok.
-
A lot of people still haven't seen it.
-
It'll be at red box in another week. Lol
-
I don't think it's being released til the end of March
-
Any time frame on 8?
-
DEC 17 last I heard
-
Long ways off, should be real good though.

The last of the Jedi will you be - Luke is the last Jedi
So I am not reading into it. To me it means this movie will have a lot of focus on Luke

That makes sense. This is promising to be a great episode. (It better be)

Saw Rogue One yesterday.
Outstanding, simply outstanding.
Did anyone else notice that a couple of the X-wing pilots in "Rogue One" were pilots of X-wing fighters from episode 4 "A New Hope"?

Hmmmm, now that you mention it...

Grand Moff Tarkin, Princess Leia, Red and gold Leaders, Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, Ponda Baba (Butt Mouth) & Dr Evazan, Vader, the droids, troopers, Captain Antilles, who else? So many cameos that were awesome. I wish they showed Biggs.

-
Lol...
-
I get it though, sell more toys is their game. They make more $ off merchandise
-
Wow, never knew they made even more off all the crap merchandise. Not like the original stuff from the 70’s. Same reason a 2018 chevy truck wont be a classic or collectable 40 years from now. The era is gone.
Oh well, going to see the new Thor this week. Yes, my family likes all the Marvel movies, capt america, iron man, avengers, etc...

"Fox let Lucas pass up an additional $500,000 directing fee in return for keeping licensing and merchandising rights for himself -- a decision that would cost the studio billions."
From the linked article (and other's I've read), it seems that retaining the rights for licensing and merchandising was akin to being able to print money.
Same reason a 2018 chevy truck wont be a classic or collectable 40 years from now. The era is gone.
I believe time will tell - don't underestimate the power of nostalgia. Think of those just starting to drive today and have a longing for a 2018 Chevy but can't afford one.
-
I think people will always be nostalgic. If your first truck was a 2018 GMC, in 30 years you'd probably miss that truck especially because in 30 years trucks will probably all be electric egg shaped fold out plastic rubber maid containers...
Speaking of being nostalgic, I just saw someone selling a Simplicity lawn tractor like I used to have...suddenly I'm going, I need that, it sold before I could inquire about it and now I am on a quest to find another one. When I was a kid I would do wheelies all the way up the driveway on that thing.
Merchandising made Lucas one rich man that's for sure. I still have a lot of my original Star Wars toys
-
I agree on all topics, lol on the first paragraph.
I'd like to find a mint wheel horse from the 70's. Thats what we had. I remember the bumper sticker..."buy a horse, a wheel horse of course"
-
Oh, and getting closer to opening day!
-
I can't believe it's already December :'(
This month is going to be so crazy for me, I'll have to go into work late so I can see it when it comes out.
-
Yeah, they been showing all the episodes, you know how they do to get folks hyped up. Couldnt take the "jar-jar" episodes. 🤮
-
Yeah i'm not a fan either. Those prequels could have all been one episode if they just trimmed the fat.... which would have made room for two additional good prequels but I digress. I only watch the depsecialized editions now.
-
Yup, i have those copies you gave me. Awesome..
Did you get your tickets yet? We're going right after the 1st, on a tuesday. $5 matinee, enfield cinema.

Going to the first showing on the 15th. Got reserved seating, I don't care about price, I care about not being the guy who didn't see it yet.
-
Lol, good point. Will have to be real careful about spoilers! Need to keep away from people, internet, television, radio, etc.., basically hide under a rock.
-
VZ i know you wont spoil, just tell us how awesome it was. I hope your getting in your "Star Wars" mode? Are you going dressed as Vadar? Lol...
-
I'll be going as a force ghost....
-
Okay so I went and saw it this morning with my woman. I see irony in my post which made me laugh when I came on here but....
always emotion is the future. You must unlearn what you have learned. Your friends you see...
#yoda #nospoilers
All I can say is go see it, enjoy it, process it. It's a tough thing to have had the originals in your life, then the totally disrespected originals, then the prequels which you either love or hate no in between, and now the forward direction. I get the marketing, I get the die hards, I get the younger gen. Form your own opinion after you see it and absorb it as it takes processing. It's emotions, rationale, critique, atmosphere etc. Beyond that, anyone reading this deserves spoilers so stop reading past this point until you've seen it okay? Spoilers may happen past this post.... You've been warned so feel free to post your thoughts after this post.
-
Got to see it first showing on December 14th (Disney Cruise)...
I won't comment on the movie itself other than it's lengthy, so don't drink too much soda while watching.
-
I drank two coffees before I went so I feel your pain ;D
-
I love this movie as well, I will try to watch it on upcoming week
-
Well i caved and went and saw it today. $5 dollar matinee. Not bad. Anyway..if you take it all in as vz stated, and i still am, well, i thought it was great overall. Lenthy yes, but i like long movies, 3 hr max anyway. So, a new war and a new rebellion, all of our originals are gone, the humans anyway. We still have chewy and the droids, oh..what ever happened to lando calrissian? Anyway, great action and unsuspected twists. I like being surprised in movies...good or bad. I dont think anybody likes easy pridictable stuff. The movie wasnt hard to follow. I usually have to watch these sci fy movies with my wife so i dont get lost.
Anyway, i have one question. I saw this poster on my way in the theatre.
So what is this now...!!!!?

Ps. We saw the trailer for Avengers, The Infinity War. Looks Awesome!! Does anybody out there follow the Marvel series?
-
* spoilers *
Definitely not what I was expecting. I could nit pick it for sure but I found the Mary Poppins scene to be so incredibly silly I said to myself that this scene must have been post-mortem CGI or once Carrie Fisher saw it herself she dropped dead.
Solo? It's a spin off cash grab by disney that has been destined to be a train wreck from it's inception. You would have to put a gun to my head to make me pay to see that one. There's only one Han Solo. I'm happy they are giving us something we've been missing since what 1984? So I won't be a hater on where they are taking it, at least not at the moment.
-
Wow! I totally agree on the mary poppins scene, how embarrrassing and stupid. The finn character acts too much like someone fighting on the streets in a gang in 2017. Not in a sci fy thriller in a galaxy far far away. And i didnt notice this until others explained it. But kylo ren is sort of just a punk who cant control himself, like road rage, like he needs a time out. Vadar was always in control and never embarrassed himself and had a tissy fit like kylo. Vadar was always commanding and scary when he was on the scene. But at least snokes told kylo to take off that stupd mask. I'm not complaining about the movie, but when you compare it to the genuine article, well, you know what i mean. Oh, and one question a lot of folks are asking...where the blazes did snokes ever come from anyway? Did the emporer crap him out or something?
-
There's a total discontinuity between TFA and TLJ. Once I fully digested this movie, well it was like burping up high school lunch for me. I just feel like they just took a bunch of scenes, spliced them together and high fived each other because they know no matter what, it's about to start raining money. I said I wouldn't be a negative nancy but I can't help myself and feel that they deserve critics...and again if you are reading this you have been warned -spoilers.
The whole snoke thing was a joke, his character was flawed form the beginning but instead of rectifying it and making something out of it they made a cgi freddy crougar in a 70's gold dress. He's so powerful he can fling you around with a thought but he cuts in half like a hot knife through butter. Rey holds the light saber like a wiffle ball bat but is suddenly so powerful she can crush mountains with a thought and not because of her lineage but just because. Luke was so courageous he defenselessly confronted Vader and the Emperor on his own virtually destroying the Empire because he was so courageous but now he's a chicken hermit who went emo? There was this whole map to Luke Skywalker thing like he was their secret weapon and something big was going to happen but they basically ruined his legacy and the whole reveal to Luke. Very pc throughout, the finn and rey thing dissolved so that he could hook up with the asian girl? The slow speed chase? lol Phasma's eye is revealed, oooh that was suspenseful. The purple haired admiral putting the hero in his place. The majority of it was a let down and mediocre at best and I could pick it apart all day long but what's the point? All I see are life long fans tearing it apart and fanboys defending it with their life. It's worse than trump vs hilary. I'm definitely not going to see it a second time, maybe I'll just download it and get some of my money back ;D
-
Creepy, some folks i know made pretty much the same critique you did...and they're over 40, like me.
And if you see my earlier post 166, i stated it was great. But now, and as you stated, i've got it "digested" but not yet reaching for a vomit bag.
-
There's a show on netflix called the toys that made us. Watch the first episode
-
Ron Howard was brought in to complete the movie?
http://ew.com/movies/2018/02/09/ron-howard-solo-a-star-wars-story/ (http://ew.com/movies/2018/02/09/ron-howard-solo-a-star-wars-story/)
-
Yes. Ralph and Potsie will race the new and improved Han solo and Lando in the Kessel run. A CGI Joanie will fall in love with Chachi after he rescues her from space Fonzie, who was on his way to turn her over to CGI Jabba the Hutt. After they complete in less than 12 parsecs they stop at the cantina where Woody is serving up blue milk. I can't wait to see it
-
Just went and saw black panther, and of course one of the preview trailers was, you guessed it...
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180321/17e386c3d3074b61bde92150f302ffa6.jpg)
They tried to make it look all new and exiting. It just didnt seem right.
-
I ain't going to that one! Looking forward to reading about how bad it was more than ever seeing it. lol
-

That's so "you" lol
-
Went and saw Infinity War, it was awesome! Anyway, saw latest trailer for Solo. Must admit, looked interesting...but not holding my breath.
-
Yeah, not going to the movies for that. I'll watch it when it's on the home market.
-
May the 4th be with you.......
-
At least 6 people said that to me today ;D
-
May the 5th be with you when you're out drinking today
-
Happy Cinco De Mayo !!!
Today is usually the day I party down with some Mexican food and Margaritas but I'm abstaining. I did too much of that this winter 8) Please indulge in a few for me everyone. I don't want to ruin my diet :o but I will say the first place I'm going out to eat when I'm done is to Fiesta Mexicanna ;D
-
well im working today wont be in a few hours but i have things to do so i cant get wasted today. but on the other hand i voted for trump so some say i shouldnt celebrate anyway
-
Any day that ends in "Y" is great for margaritas!
-

Yeah, you mentioned that to me a while back when i was complaining we dont have much out here for authentic MX. Now that you mention it again i want to go. We took our son out Sat. night for his b-day, he was born on 5/5. Dang! We shoulda went to Firsta... where did you say that was, Vernon?
-
Yeah, just down the street from Rein's Deli
-
Awesome, not far at all.

Hey, finally went to Fiesta Mexicanna. Awesome food, wife loved it...got stuffed!! Just wish they had regular black beans instead of the "cat puke" refried beans. (Although they still tasted great). Will be going back soon!
-
That place is the best. They do have black beans, you probably had to ask for them. Although I never liked refried beans I had them there and they were actually really good. I haven't been there since March but we plan to go next week hopefully.
-
Black beans?! Awesome!! Never did like the refried either. Great salsa too...done right! I dont think much of the workers speak English, i tried to make conversation and they looked at me like i was talking Chinese or something. No response, but friendly. But i'd rather have that than some guy named ralph. Lol
-
New trailer is out. VZ did you get your tickets yet?
https://youtu.be/83apjSbVV-o
-
No, I'm very skeptical after that last train wreck. It can't be worse than TLJ but I'm not holding my breath anymore. I'm not even anxious to see it because of the taste the last one left in my mouth. I can't believe they released that movie still. After watching it again it just got worse for me and like many made me lose all interest.
-
I hear ya man, but this it...the saga ends! I think they're gonna put all the chips on the table. I say we bank on one more episode and take our chances. Palpatine is back!! Who knows, maybe we'll even get to see jar jar binks again. Lol
-
I suppose I'm being a negative nancy so if it doesn't totally suck I feel the redemption. ;D
-
cant be disappointed if you already think the movie will be a disappointment
-
cant be disappointed if you already think the movie will be a disappointment
Hmmm, thats actually a true statement, but i think it'll be fine. It better be!
-
If it's not they will surely tank the brand. Ruin Johnson already did a good job of turning off millions of people to it. Disney thought that anything Star Wars is gold so no need to ensure a good story. The dumb fans will just be in awe of visual effects. WRONG
-
Thats very true! A solid story line will ALWAYS trump any kind of visual effect, even bad acting. Especially for such a powerful saga as Star Wars....[once was].

-
What was better than Vader turning on the emperor to save his son? Nothing
-
Saw End Game. Wow!!!!
Anyway, they played the trailer for the new Star Wars. If the movie is as good as the trailer, it will be great. Keeping high hopes for now.
-
Yeah, it can't possibly be worse than the last one! Was the trailer the same as the one you posted the link to or was it a newer one?
-

I believe it was a bit different, it showed a lot more fighting and stuff, longer. Plus the movie theater effects and all,,,kinda puts you in the mood. Maybe it was the evil emperor laughing at the end. Just have a gut feeling we'll be impressed. Clinging on to high hopes...
Oh well, its May 4th.

We'll find out at the end of the year
-
You mean your actually going to wait to see it? High risk for spoilers..
-
Isn't it being released around Xmas?
-

Oh your right, i forgot. Yes, December!
-
VZ, what's the Mandalorian all about? Series about Boba Fett?
I just saw the preview, looks interesting anyway.
https://www.starwars.com/series/the-mandalorian
-
Haven't watched it yet. Not Boba Fett, but a dude who looks like him. From what I know it's a series on Disney's new streaming service. Everyone has their a la carte channels. Cable TV will be a thing of the past. I'll probably watch it this week or weekend and see if it's any good.
-
yeah, i'll be glad when cable is dead, or at least has heavy competition. Anyway, the show looks good. Will check out also.
Are you getting exited for The Rise of Skywalker?
-
I ended up watching it last night, it as entertaining. No spoilers
I don't know, that last movie sucked so bad that I am finding it hard to get enthused.

Yeah, we just watched both episodes. Not bad, good action. I have questions, but dont want to spoil.
-
I would say anyone reading this, you've been warned: SPOILERS
Feel free to discuss
-

Feel free to discuss
1. Why does that guy LOOK like Boba Fett? Is he from the same whatever? Just another bounty hunter?
2. Who or what was that green yoda baby? Couldn't have been THE Yoda, due to the time frame. And why did it have "the force"? Maybe just an offspring?
Did you notice the Jawa's sure sounded like Minions.
Still, interesting to watch, lots of action. And not cheap and predictable. Thumbs up for now..
-
They are just capitalizing on the fandom for Boba Fett. From what I know, their race all wears the same type of armor. I've seen people theorizing it's a clone of Yoda. Yeah the Jawas, I was waiting for an ooteedee. It's entertaining, better than the last movie! lol
-
Episode 3 and 4 were real good. Will we ever see him without the helmet? Boy, Apollo Creed sure got old. (carl weathers)
-
He's in his 70's and still going strong. Remember when they took Darth Vader's helmet off? I say leave it on
-
Yeah, Anakin wasn't very pretty without the helmet. But Mando sounds young. I think it will be revealed at some point.
"This is the way"
You must be getting exited for The Rise of Skywalker. I guess this is their last chance to impress you?
-
I actually haven't felt one bit of excitement still. I'm sure it will be better than the dumpster fire. They showed the actor who plays him a while back.
-
Episode six was really good! The Mando is getting big reviews.
My daughter wants one of those baby Yoda's for Christmas!! lol
-
I think I even want a baby Yoda for Christmas. On the other had I binged watched all the star wars and the kids got involved with it and now my daughter wants to be "dark Vader" as she calls him. She'll dress in alll black and walk around the house humming Darth Vader's music. So I got her a Darth Vader mask and light saber and got my boy a blue one.
-
It's cool when the kids get into it. Funny how none of them seem to care for the stupid characters these buffoons keep pushing on us. I have yet to meet a soul who wants a jarjar toy. My daughter loves vader, chewbacca, c3p0, r2d2 and Jabba the hutt, the classics.
-
McDonald's has the new toys out. Kids wanted the old stars like Darth and r2d2. Bb8 was one of the toy my daughter got. She was ok with it but really wanted Darth. I had to remind her he died 😢
-
Yeah, the originals were the best! My brother has the Boba Fett action figure from the early 80's
Did you have to ruin Christmas and mention Jar jar? lol...
My son wanted to see the "pre" quels, (the vomit-bag gross ones), and i heard jar jar's voice in the background...almost drove a red hot ice pick in my ears!
-
Every few years I have to preview the prequels again and remember why they are so bad. I just saw the new one today at Buckland IMAX in 3D. No spoilers, but it was so much better than that last dumpster fire.
-
i was listing to the radio the other day and the guy kind of reviewed the movie and said what "kylo ren" "mission" is. said it was a good tie in to the old movie and also compliments "rey" and her character. all in all a good movie. i kind of want to see it, might even take the kids to the theater.
must add that i got the new lion king on amazon instead of going to the theaters with the kids. im glad because they lost interest within 10 minutes and i was done with it once it hit me they pretty much changed too much.
-
Went to the matinee in Enfield with my son and saw it. Cant beat $5. Anyway, i thought the story line was real good, lots of action, everything came together real well, and not predictable, which i like. So overall, i thought it was real good. A good summary of the "real true original trio" Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
Are we clear for spoilers yet, because i could go on, but i'll wait.
-
We've already posted Spoiler Alert so anyone reading this should not if they don't want to ready spoilers.
-
there now the title should be changed and people are given a warning before they click
personally i dont get but hurt if i read a spoiler, it kind of gets me more interested.

Looking at the previews for the new/newer SW movies, i think after the Disney acquisition, they've been destroyed.
So, no, i don't plan on seeing the new, or any newer Star Wars movies because it wouldn't be worth the time or admission fee.
-
Lucas destroyed Star Wars with the special editions and then those prequels. Disney is Corporate Star Wars. It will NEVER be the same. There is no one man making the decisions and risking it all, it's just a coin machine now. Always remember the originals ;D

Only a true Star Wars nerd can state those words that well. 100% true. (esp. the last sentence)

VZ, have you been watching The Mandalorian series? Did you see the final episode, it was epic! Well, i thought John Favreau did a great job, all in all. Not stupid or corny.

LOL, I asked you about Mando back on Dec 20th, your just getting back to me? 
-
I'll try to wait longer next time :P
-
i loved the Mando series but after the whole Gina Carano firing bs, I canceled Disney.
-
Cancel culture and presentism are real, unfortunately. Best thing you can do when you don't align with a companies decisions or direction is stop feeding them your $
-
Ok, just catching up here. I'm sure you have been watching the Boba Fett series, teaming up with Mando, and I heard they are bringing back Carano. I know, Disney is real woke and left, that's the sucky part....
-
Firing her was RIDICULOUS! The cancel culture is so biased. Same with Roseanne even though I couldn't care less about her show. Then we have Whoopi who gets a suspension for two weeks for smack talking the jews and even uses a fake jewish name as her own. Double standards much? The right thing to do would be to uncancel her. Would she come back though?
-
I agree totally. The hypocrisy is extreme with the woke left, beyond understanding. I wonder what would happen if a republican said "white lives matter" I mean, do they? Just don't walk around the CNN studio with a black light, lol.
Anyway, I only heard she may come back. I hope so, I like her a lot. She is anti vax, anti mask, anti voter fraud, etc. etc....

Mando has actually gotten very interesting with the mean red hottie and BY's stick figure accessory.
Oh, and Disney? Get woke go broke is the word on the street. Ask Bud Lite?
-
It's the venturi effect ::)
Disney is very woke and hopefully learned from some of these others making bad decisions before it's too late for the SW franchise.
