I wet my pants when I saw on the sign of my local Everyman "midnight showing Dec14th"
Cwazy wazy haze came all over me.
You better believe it!
A new trailer has just been on the TV.
Even more excited now.
Please let it be better than The Force Awakens.
Think I might save it for a long haul flight somewhere.
Winchester independent cinema, Sunday night, sofa, bottle of Rioja. Perfect way to watch it.

Day off next Monday.
10am showing booked.
Hopefully it'll be like last year when I did the same for The Force Awakens and I had the entire cinema to myself. Literally no one else apart from me. Absolutely brilliant.
Boardinbob - schools round here break up this Friday so i hope they dont where you are otherwise you are going to be watching it with a load of kids.

Working extra days and odd shifts at work plus alcohol has messed my internal clock. 😐

Looks like December 22nd 8)
Not really, given the last one was barely different to the 1st.
I've managed to not see the trailer yet so I know basically nothing about it 🙂 just trying to figure out when to see it, without it being ruined by either everyone talking about it or the cinema full of kids.. off to the internet I go..
I'm not exactly excited, it's just that no power on earth could stop me going and seeing it on saturday, not even the Office Night Out Hangover.
GHOST DOG: THE WAY OF THE JEDI, MOTHER*****S!

OK, so he's taking the piss.
There’s none of the Shakespearean space politics, enticingly florid dialogue, or experiential thrills of the best of George Lucas’s “Star Wars” entries (“Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith”).
Thanks for the heads up just panic bought a family ticket for Friday at our local cinema, almost 100% sold out this weekend but then they only have about 30 seats!
Saw it last night on IMAX, really really good and totally different to the last one. More of a hark back to the 70s originals
Shhhhhh!!
No freekin spoilerz..
It's all gone a bit Bob & Terry, currently going round switching all the TV's in work so I miss the Breakfast TV reviews.
Looking forward to this one very much indeed, could be the best for quite a while.
Def. no spoilers here. Just saying your going to enjoy it!
Somebody told be this is set before Episode IV. So is it Episode III.5?
Pretty much. AIUI, in Star Wars they've got stolen plans to the Death Star ("many Bothans died... etc). This is the story of how they got them.
I've never seen star wars and I'm 51 and a half.
many Bothans died... etc
GEEK ALERT
Alas no, the Bothans died obtaining the Death Star 2 plans between ep5 & ep6. This is indeed a kind of ep3.5 (or even 3.8 if the timeline works)
So no Bothans need die getting these plans to Leia.

your midichlorian count is through the roof. With such power, who needs sight?
Tickets booked for Thursday night. Looking forward to the spoiler thread...
5 star review on den of geek
Just booked us in for Sunday. Am hoping monkeyjnr doesn't get too fidgety with it being 2+hrs.
will Vader have a speaking part? methinks if he's in too much it'll be a danger he'll steal the show.
Koooo paahhhhh /breathing
Got my ticket booked for Friday. Going by myself, as Mr Toast is looking after t'boy.
Dark Forces game from the past ?
I just read the New Yorker review. Don't if you want a spoiler free experience. It makes for a bizarre read. The reviewer seems to have expected an Oscar bait film and not a family adventure movie. I honestly thought it was a comedy review, a very poor one at that.
I'm hoping I can get to watch it over Christmas. The last one, for me, undid a lot of the damage the prequels did. Looking forward to seeing what I hope will be a good old fashioned family adventure film.
I'm going next Tuesday, looking forward to it very much. I'm also doing my best to avoid any reviews/spoilers/internet chatter (this thread notwithstanding). Tempted to get into the mood by watching The Force Awakens over the weekend.
Good, wasn't it.

This is interesting. Star Wars is one of the most lucrative film franchises around, and it's had an astonishing hold on Western culture for decades. That scale and prominence demands that it be taken (at least somewhat) seriously. But against any serious yardstick it's mostly a bit rubbish. Always has been. Strangely unimaginative, steadfastly refusing to provoke thought, terrible dialogue and a lot of fairly flat acting. And that's a bit of a shame, because science fiction can be awe-inspiringly good, and big-budget adventure movies can be really good as well. But Star Wars has almost insultingly low expectations for itself. Sure, we'll all go and watch it and it'll be entertaining enough. And it'll gross so much they'll carry on flogging away at it instead of finding something better to film.
(I'm perhaps more than usually grumpy because I'm reading [i]The Algebraist[/i], which is probably unfilmable but so amazingly out-there that it makes Star Wars' resolute refusal to even bother building its worlds interestingly rather grating.)
Well I reckon that's a candidate for Best Yet. An utterly brilliant film.
Without getting into details my son is 6 and has seen all the other films. Would it be suitable? I'll probably go and see it myself first but wanted a few opinions.
yeah, he'll be fine.
A Star Wars film that forgets it's a Star Wars film until the final act. A bit of an incoherent, muddy and sluggish mess initially. Gets better but the lack of clarity and lack of 3 act structure works against it. Just about saved by the climax. Where is the charm of TFA? Music and costumes were off to me too.
Not particularly exciting - with plenty of forgettable characters.
That thread is a bit abrupt giving everything a away in the first few posts!
We live in a digital age lol

Agreed

basically a war film. Shedloads of gunfire and slaughter. No blood though.
Unless your son is exceptionally mature I'd say it may be a little traumatic for him. Personally I wouldn't consider anyone less than 8 years old to watch it.
Having said that someone has just posted on Facebook saying that their 6 year old loved it, so YMMV! 🙂
@BibDummy, don't think i've read The Algebraist, cheers, on it's way.
EDIT: And tickets purchased for next week, whoop!

More so than TFA?
Sitting in the cinema with the two littlest panthercubs waiting for the film to start. Buzzin' 😀
