I'll wait a week or two and then catch a midday showing on a weekday, with no lines and a half-full theater. I dislike jam-packed movie theaters nearly as much as I dislike waiting in line.

I have my tickets at Penn Square, just can't pass up the reserved seating. No lines for this guy.

Ditto, for the first Friday. Show up five minutes early and walk straight to my seat,

Holy moly.

Dude, that trailer though. I'm thinking Kylo and Rey are brother and sister, I know the EU isn't canon anymore but I bet they pulled some stuff from it.

I've always been a big admirer of Carrie Fisher and this classic interview does nothing to change that.

Not so fast. Take a look at this theory about Jar Jar by a redditor.
Super interesting.

The more I read the more I think it's likely true. Palpatine wasn't exactly "phantom" and Lucas has stated he likes to to introduce characters that are goofy but eventually have a great influence (yoda being the other)

Is this the same as Star Trek? Or are they different?

Get out! :fighting2

Despite the fact they're both fictional universes set in space, that's in all honesty where the similarity ends.

SW is your basic good-guy/bad-guy shoot 'em up; Trek tried to do social commentary - sometimes really well, sometimes really badly.

Luke is now Darth Trickster. DC Flash reference.

Gotcha! I knew they were both space cadet related, but didn't know if one was a spin off of the other. Between that and the Hunger Games/Lord of the Rings.....I know people get real Geeked up!

Purchased my tickets today.

Nope. The 18th.

My body is ready

Only one vote total for both Artoo and Threepio. Man, I should have left them out of the poll. Maybe people got their fill of them in the prequels, which were especially unkind to Threepio.

I'm a big droid guy, and I'm a little bummed because it seems like they're really getting pushed aside in the new movie. BB-8 is the new hotness, I guess, but Artoo will always be my favorite. Hopefully he's got something cool to do in the new movie.

BB-8 has better moves.

Yeah I try to be as kind to the prequels as I can and view them with an open mind, but I really think having Anakin build Threepio was an awful decision.

Hey guys/gals, this is the week.

Anyone else avoiding the internet for the entirety of Thursday to avoid spoilers?

Don't worry I will get on when my showing ends at 9pm or so and spoil it for you guys! :wink:

I'm not going to be able to see it until LATE Christmas week, so I'm going to try my hardest to stay away from many of the sites I frequent to avoid spoilers. This is one movie I don't want to know what happens and want to see it for myself.

Was just talking about that with my coworkers. It's coming out in Europe the day before so it all will be on the Internet that day.

This is going to be a long week waiting for Thursday.

how does this make sense, already a 9.5 out of 10 on imdb ?

People should wait for the movie before rating it on IMDB. This reminds me of the huge expectations people had for the Phantom Menace. I am as excited about this as anyone, but part of the problem with the prequels is fans had such huge expectations that the movies did not nor could have possibly met. I think fans can be more confident that the Force Awakens will be good, being that JJ Abrams made it primarily with OT fans in mind, but I still caution against sky-high, unrealistic expectations.

Hollywood Premier is tonight, there are already spoilers on reddit... Be careful where you browse this week.

Kind of wish I could come across the opening crawl though.

To be fair, I don't think I've ever gone into such an anticipated movie knowing as little about the story as this movie. JJ Abrams has done a great job at keeping it sealed. With the prequels, sometimes the trailers gave too much information.

Most of the old crew from a 1977 shot.

There's also a studio-imposed embargo on any formal media reviews until tomorrow.

Obviously this thing is going to make planet-busting money, but some observers were talking about how good/bad/medium reviews might tip the balance one way or the other toward a $1B opening weekend.

That would have to be worldwide. I doubt its physically possible for it to make $1 billion in the US alone. It would also be a miracle for it to increase the domestic opening weekend record by nearly 500%.

If anybody bought their tickets through Fandango, be warned your seats aren't guaranteed. I bought my ticket through Fandango since it was the first site that I was able to access after they all crashed, the lady I talked to at AMC Penn said if because of all the crashes somebody could have made it through the AMC website and bought tickets in my same seats they would give those people priority over me since I went through Fandango.

Thats why I took my online tickets in to the theatre and traded them for real theatre tickets. That would be a good way to check. Also show up early.

Can't remember the last movie I was so excited/interested to see...maybe Avatar, the second (Nolan-directed) Batman movie?

Gosh...for me I would probably have to go all the way back to Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith.

I was pretty excited about the Hunger Games series but it wasn't to this level. I would say the last thing that came close was the first of Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy, which of course turned out to be quite a disappointment compared to Lord of the Rings.

"all the way back"

I've tempered my expectations on this one. I still have the taste of prequels in my mouth.

I'm excited ready to go see this movie tonight. Going to see one of the late late showings at Penn Square. No Lines and plus wanted to avoid the Mall Traffic. I picked a back seat of the theater in and out and no lines. Bam! I'm a good planner. Also took Friday off so I can sleep in on Friday. I call it my Star Wars Weekend.

A buddy of mine is actually flying to LA just to see this film (a little drastic, imo) but it's gonna be a cool experience. Where are you all going to see it? I'll probably end up going to Moore opening night.
They just wrapped up a huge premier the other night for it at the Chinese Theater.

Conan tonight will be all about the new movie.

I second this, it was fantastic.

I feel I have failed as a nerd.

My girlfriend's work gave her a single ticket to the midnight showing last night. She got it a few weeks ago. She couldn't get any extra, so we got tickets to go together on Sunday. So last night I was waiting for her to get off work, and 10:00 comes. Then 10:30. Then 11:00. And she texts me. "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm going to see Star Wars tonight!"

I stayed at home and went to bed, while she went and saw the premier of a new Star Wars movie. My girlfriend now officially knows more about Star Wars than I do. I feel that I've failed the nerd gods or something.
