Well it is a bit dramatic, but still for a functioning person in the western world - rather odd.
lots of women haven't seen Star Wars.

Well I can't speak to that...but I am surprised a grown person (say late 20s and up?) would be interested in 7, if they were never interested in watching any of the other 6. But maybe Iorm is rocking that cradle. :perv:

I don't remember anything from 6(or do I?, it's really all a blur) & I think the movie was pretty good nonetheless.


I also think that, when you are not caught in nostalgic desillusion, 4 sucks.

I am assuming that this is another Captain Wolf brainfart, since "Episode 4" started the whole thing and was the exact opposite of "sucks."

Just went and saw it again with Mrs B tonight.

Contrary to this article (which suggests TFA was weaker on a second viewing), I think I liked the movie even more.  This time around I knew the story, so I could sit back and enjoy the spectacle of it even more - and there was quite a lot of spectacle.  It probably didn't hurt that I was watching it on a bigger screen and in 3-D as well.

My friends brought some of his friends, one of which saw the original trilogy only once and his g/f never seen any Star Wars and did not understood english properly.  She still had a good time she told us.

Had I tried something like that with my ex, I would have paid dearly.  Like watching Bridget Jones 1&2 as a compromise.  For 10 minutes of TESB.

Anyone in Canada aware if we have a Blu Ray 3D version of this movie?  Amazon does not seem to carry it.

EDIT: never mind, it's not out yet, no date either.

Sounds good.

We already knew that Luke's role would be more substantial than in The Force Awakens.

Might be referring to Rey, though.

I just hope it's not a complete re-hash of Empire Strikes Back, in the way that TFA just re-mixed ANH.

Luke saying to Rey, "Rey...I am your father....".

Scary part is it actually would kind of make some sense....

The first shot will be a star destroyer launching probes in frantic pursuit of Luke Skywalker's whereabouts.

Let's hope not. I was pretty lenient on the fanboish recreation angle on TFA, but Rogue One clearly showed you can be brave about storylines and get away with it.
