OT: Star Wars: The Last Jedi Discussion Thread (SPOILERS!!!!)

[Hollywood Cannon]

Well we mentioned that we should make a separate thread for Star Wars so here it is.

Please note that conversation about the movie will fully start with spoilers once the movie officially releases, so after the 15th, don’t come in here.

[Captain Dave Poulin]

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Hope it doesn't suck

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Spoiler

There's a scene where Yoda sits on Darth Vader's face

 

[daynus]

Spoilers, your joking right. For us 100s of millions of Star Wars fans, we have been kept in the dark. At least Steven Colbert had some fun doing a spoof with Mark Hamill

 

[Chinatown88]

Spoilers. Things happen in space.

Hopefully nothing crazy comes out before I see it.

Considering the movie premiered last night... yeah, spoilers. It’s all out there.

The internet is going to be a dangerous place for the next week.

 

[BillDineen]

I am a bit fearful the "grey jedi" theme people are speculating about. I hope it is good.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

So far so good avoiding spoilers.

 

[SnS]

I'm glad I don't have a care in the world about this movie.

 

[David St Hubbins]

Haven't seen one since Return of the Jedi. Haven't seen one in the theater since the original. Surprisingly, life has continued without a hitch.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

I hope they get away from the formulaic Marvel-esque quality that Disney seems to be hitched to based on the first film.

Give us something fresh and inspired, not solely existing to sell action figures and pajamas and the very cheap fan service like giving us the token "hey there's the millennium falcon, that's SO cool because it was in the first series which I liked!" type of moments. I'm a fan of the female heroine and a diverse cast, but let's not make it a paint by numbers and check the boxes situation where some studio exec dictates what must exist in the film.

I'm just jaded and unconvinced that big studio blockbusters like this can ever really amount to something really special like the original trilogy today.

you won't get that til they step away from the Skywalker family drama

 

[trostol]

frankly..i am looking for somewhere that tells me the entire spoiler filled movie..work has me bogged down and i won't see it any time soon lol

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Reviews seem to be pretty good so far.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

I have tickets to see the movie on Saturday. Someone spoiled the Force Awakens for me and I am terrified that the same will happen. I simply don't have the will power to stay off Facebook/Twitter to avoid spoilers so I am sure that I will be having the movie ruined.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Screenshots are starting to be out there...

Proceed with caution everyone!

 

[Tripod]

4:25 on Friday for me! Can't wait!

 

[Flyers845]

Super pumped!

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Well I saw it.

I’m honestly not sure how I feel about it.

It’s definitely not what I expected.

It didn’t feel very Star Warsish to me and I’ll have to stew about how I feel about it.

This again coming from a guy who loves ALL of the Star Wars movies.

I saw a 6PM showing and have been thinking about what I viewed for the past hour or so. I'd say I liked it, but I share your feelings about it not being what I expected, but I did think it felt "Star Warsish," or at least, sufficiently Star Warsish.

I'd say as of right now it's neither my favorite, nor my least favorite of the 8 episodes, but a good installment.

 

[Larry44]

Got tickets for 12 pm tomorrow. Taking my 9 yr old out of school to have some fun with the Force.

 

[Sombastate]

About 2 hours away for me.

 

[sobrien]

I saw it tonight, I thought it was excellent. I'd absolutely recommend seeing it

 

[Lotusflower]

I feel like I should wait two weeks before seeing it. I left hyped as **** only to run into diminishing returns on every rewatch
