Got my tickets for the 17th (Sunday) at 10:45 AM. $6 matinee! That will give me the time and money to go for pancakes before the show.
i finished rebels a couple months ago.
wow!, the last season, and the 2nd half of the one before were amazing (the first one, not so much). clone-wars quality good.
yea, from the latter half of the second season onward was just top notch. new season starts next week, for the US at least.
oh yeah, am I the only one who thought the trailer sucked?
i mean... did we just saw old luke in the trailer? and he was scared? snoke face was already shown? will rey and kylo ren switch sides?
i think the trailer gives away way too much information...

I never saw this movie, doubt I will see the new one. Just wasn't feeling it, I guess. Maybe I'm old, maybe I just had a different vision of where the series would go. The prequels left a bad taste in my mouth.
Seriously? I thought this was common knowledge? Also, thanks. Despite my best efforts the little bastards still swam straight.
Early reviews seem good (93% on Rotten Tomatoes). Then again I seem to like a lot of shit those reviews don't like. Batman v Superman, I am looking at you!
don't care what they say, 14 year old me is excited as fuck
My daughter said she doesn't want to go because she doesn't like the new movies. I told her to get out of my house.
Saturday, 8am tickets for the nerds in this family. 
I am also excited to see this new trilogy Rian Johnson will be creating. I hope I'll be alive in 10-12 years to see them all.
Mayhaps you need a commemorative edition icon for the occasion?Saturday, 8am tickets for the nerds in this family.
Any bets on who is going to be whose uncle?
I have very low expectations, since we all saw that light can travel way faster than light and the entire galaxy can watch something happen in real time by looking up, a huge monster death-star evidently doesn't have enough fighters to deal with about 7 rebel fighters, the bigass star destroyer is evidently only equipped with 2 turbolasers and has no other beam weapons to shoot down ships, and all along you could just hyperspace past the shields. Oh yeah, a group manages to evade detection on said planet killer where everyone is looking for them and "fight to the death" stormtrooper boss is nice enough to lower the shields, rather than die. It all makes fuck-all sense and is just a bunch of in your face unbelievable scene after unbelievable scene trying to have as much moving around action to distract you from the shitty story line.
What was great about the first series was how they made you imagine stuff, how they filled in little gaps so well that everything seemed seamless, even though it didn't have. It didn't seem plausible that they escaped the Death Star...but it was revealed that they "let them escape", vs. are you telling me an entire star destroyer full of fighters and gunz can't stop one freaking ship from leaving? It's just a fucking transformers movie that happens to be called "star wars".

I left the theater at 3am last night; now that am kinda alert... i dont know where to begin, actually.
the movie, itself... wtf disney?
"the stars wars you know, only cooler!... as written by a 10 years old"... that´s the best review of the movie I have read online so far.
Now you've said too much!
They went full Marvel, it fucking sucked.
I liked it better than the previous reboot. Brought my son and his friends for birthday and had a great time. Not sure why but I am a fan of emo Ren it's just not always easy being evil.
I used to like starwars but im over it because of all the “LOOK AT ME I LOVE STARWARS SO MUCH!!!11” crowd.
Fucking attention whores who only “love” the movie to look cool on insta. Its almost become a race who loves starwars the most these days.
The old movies were cool at the time but to be honest, i dont think they held up that well.
The new ones are just another Disney cash cow.
Have fun watching them twice in theaters just so you can tweet about it fuckin sheeple...

Yeah... I'm going to call it a pretty weak effort. 
Yet you'll still be spending $ to see Episode IX.Yeah... I'm going to call it a pretty weak effort.
<sigh>Yet you'll still be spending $ to see Episode IX.
Yes. Although the weakness just *might* prompt me to not give a shit and wait until I can stream it and watch it whilst getting shitfaced/edibled.
Furthermore...if the Emperor is so allfuckingpowerful, and the Force is so badass and omnipotent and stuff, then why cant he see into the future and no exactly what is going to happen anyway? And why is Luke and Anakin before him so damn whiny? I have always thought the series is more about R2D2 and C3PO anyway...
But they are getting my $12 on Tuesday anyway. Call me a sucker.
Its treason, then
I agree with this assessment. I still like Last Jedi though. Some of you guys go to the movie expecting too much. Two hour entertaining distraction? Check. Also, $6 matinee at the La-Z-Boy theater, plus I got a free large bucket of popcorn and I ate the whole thing because I am a fucking pig. No buttery liquid added though.
Good point, plus in 20 years we’ll learn how the producers and directors were all rapey.
Adam driver without a shirt... Wtf...
Also, Adam driver... Still not a convincing villain.
