Star Wars Episode 7 and Disney buy Lucas Film

[Professor Bear]

I'll probably just wait for it to come on tv.

Next week when I've got a day off. I'm not really worried about people posting plot spoilers after Thursday, the visual spectacle will suffice for me. Z

We're probably not going to make it along until mid/late January annoyingly, but are going to use the time to re-watch the oldies in preparation. I'm very into seeing it though so hoping I can avoid spoilers for that long, although it seems very unlikely which makes me a bit sad!

My last day at work tomorrow and its Christmas holiday for 3 weeks or so (I work in a college, so we get long breaks. Downside: to get paid, you still have to book it as holiday, despite having to take the days off anyway.)

So I'll have plenty of time to see the film. It will probably not be this weekend or maybe not even next week. It would be nice to wait for the crowds to die down a bit.

I've been catching up with this last two series of Clone Wars. There are some really great gripping stories there. I'm on The Lost Tales now aka season 6.

[IAMTHESYSTEM]

The early reviews all look positive. 5 stars from the Times and 4 from the Independent and the other reviews I've read all agree that JJ Abrams has captured the spirit and exciting visual spectacle of the original SW Trilogy. So it's lookin' good for the SW franchise and the only downside is that Walt Disney's ghost will be zieg heihling in his grave at all the money his company will be making.

Thought for the Day: The next Star Wars film* will also be about a 'Death Star'.



*Rogue One will be the fourth in the Death Star series

[Bad City Blue]

A deliberate and successful throwback to the first movie with no mention of midiclorians!

Good in 3D as well.

[COMMANDO FORCES]

I'm in the tiny queue, at a sensible time, so let's see what it's all about!

[SIP]

7 hours to go. ......

[Bad City Blue]

Here's my spoiler free review (as long as you've seen the trailer)

Almost there, almost there...

We had a grand 6-film rewatch over the past few weeks, and I'm pleased to report that the outcome was my daughter (6) petitioning Santa for a Chewie costume.  5 hours to go! Stay on target!

  brilliant,enjoyed it a lot.

  Harrison was brilliant as han [spoiler]and his death scene was nicely done and poignant as well as tragic as he thought he was[/spoiler] other big spoiler coming [spoiler]thinking he had brought Ben solo back from being kylo ren which had split him and leia up, losing their son to the dark side...[/spoiler] the supposed flashback scene was more of a vision for one character who we still don't have all the answers to.
c3po is still annoying if not more so but thankfully briefly.
  The battles are awesome and there are many. The stormtroopers kick ass and are raised from birth to do snoke's bidding. x-wings vs ties = pure star wars...

  The only slight let down asides from me missing the fox fanfare was [spoiler]snoke...good cgi but he looked like Gollum and the big white orc from the hobbit had a baby,a menacing baby nontheless[/spoiler]

all in all a great film, no dressing gown wearing hippies [spoiler]perhaps[/spoiler] battle droids or trade agreements ...

  ...and I bagged a first order tie pilot from argos as well!!!

a good day

Well as I wont get to see this till Xmas eve I will now be blanking this thread. See you all in a week where I predict I will say its not as good as the old ones but way better than the prequels.
