How good is the new Star Wars flick overall?

Awesome! A: Best Star Wars movie yet, Abrams and Co. found the right mix of action and story!
8 (14.3%)
B: Very, very good! Probaby not up there with the best of the series, but vastly better than any of 1/2/3, and mostly met our lofty expectations!
30 (53.6%)
C: Solid. Better than the 1/2/3 disasters, but missed on the story in some ways, not as good as 4/5/6 overall
11 (19.6%)
D: Uggh. Are we sure Lucas wasn't involved?
1 (1.8%)
F: I miss JarJar
6 (10.7%)

QuoteMy mom bought this back in the 80's and forgot about it in the back of a drawer. Today she gave it to me as a Christmas gift! I'm amazed!

Going to be holding on to this forever!

Good job, mom.  Kid could have gotten a free Admiral Akbar.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Ohhh... back from when Ep. VI was still called "Revenge of the Jedi". Bet that's worth a pretty penny for the Comic Book Guys of this world.

I got 30 of them.  :blush:

And some I missed because the photo doesn't look sharp enough.

Working title lasted in merchandising, unlike the movie. There is a Revenge of the Sith that appeared later though if you really need it.

Yes, we got that. Cel has the chronology right, so your "fix" doesn't really make sense.

:secret: I was being facetious with all the byzantine nerd debate going on about the new Star Wars.

Syt--Some trader did an analysis a while back of all the investments of the 2000s to find out which one gave the best percentage yield. S&P 500, bonds, Nasdaq, FTSE, Dax, Nikkei, etc. The best percentage yield came from buying a Lego Millennium Falcon.  :lol:
