The Force Awakens

[Gwadien]

Oh my fucking lord

 

[Jupitus]

My lad's 18th is about the same time and he asked, so I have booked for 6 of us to go to the Odeon IMAX on the 18th - I am also quite excited! *



* I normally don't get excited about anything - this is special!

 

[CorNokZ]

What impresses me about these trailers is that they give nothing away. I know that there's the old dark side/light side force deal, I know it's a continuation of the same story we know, but that's about it. What really gets me excited though is the range of emotions on display. The prequels were generally emotionless borefests. This film looks as though it might contain characters we actually care about.

An interesting take on the plot for Episode 7.

No spoilers (unless you're a mutant who hasn't seen the first three), but not for those that aren't interested in over-analysis of unreleased films.

Plausible. This, however, is a bit more far fetched

I love how people are so willing to believe that Star Wars is humanity's greatest achievement that they'll consider George Lucas's blatant "I can't direct for shit" skills to be a front for a brilliant story.

I predict the new Star Wars film will contain lots of cool fights and explosions, and nothing that shocks anyone in quite the same manner as (for instance) Spock's death in Star Trek.

 

[Ormorof]

Im just glad he hasnt got his hands all over the new ones

Other star wars projects without his tampering have been excellent

He had a great idea in the beginning and set the wheels in motion but seemed to go off on a bit of a wild tangent

 

[chipper]

the original trilogy is still amazing it stands up to the test of time its the battle between good and evil with one hell of a twist. the prequels were entertaining but seriously who the fuck cared about what went off in the galactic senate or that whiny assed anakin. i get that these things were needed to drive the plot forward but they were just played on far too much lucas lost his edge with the prequels kinda got it back a bit with revenge of the sith but thats it. im really glad he aint got his hands on the new ones as well. from what ive seen so far abrams is the man to do this. he's stepped back looked at what made the first 3 films epic and hopefully translates that into this new trilogy.

New Chinese trailer up today, there's a guy introducing it, I think he might be Spanish??

[Shagrat]

just the sound of the blasters going off gives me a stiffy! such an iconic sound

 

[Bigmac]

The last part of the trailer looked like Jon Snow traded his sword for a lightsaber.

 

[Talivar]

Anyone else watching them all ready for the new one? And am i only person to actually think Revenge of the Sith is the best of the 6? (Gets into flame proof suit!)

 

[old.user4556]

I watched Episode 4 over the weekend with my missus. She's never seen them before.

 

[Scouse]

am i only person to actually think Revenge of the Sith is the best of the 6?

Yep


I'm gonna duck out of this thread until after I've seen the film, for obvious reasons...

 

[Talivar]

Wise, the review embargo drops tomorrow morning afaik so expect it to be everywhere after that

 

[Yoni]

Rumours say it lives up to expectations....

 

[Scouse]

Still not reading the thread - until after 5 past midnight tonight - which is when I've just booked my tickets for.

Some food, some beers, and more beers in my seat at the cinema - 'cause Nottingham's like that

 

[Tom]

I'm going to see it when all the peasants and brats are either at work or in school. So probably Monday morning or something.

I can't stand idiots talking and eating in the cinema. Just shut the fuck up and watch the film you twats.

BEN WANKE NOBI DIES

 

[CorNokZ]

Just got back from the theatre and imo it is awesome

You sure about this?

Spoiler

[Tom]

Bollocks, the schools break up on Monday. Think I'll see it tomorrow morning instead.

Watch out for spoilers on all fronts. I went to take a piss after the show and these two pimple faced teens talked about the ending quite loudly and ruined the entire movie for everyone else in the bathroom taking a final leek before their show started

There was need rage and shouting I tell you

Just got back from the local multiplex that's only few minutes away from me. They had all 12 screen available for the midnight release. Naturally the fans turned up, lots of them in cosplay (Chewbacca, not Leia bikinis, so no pics before you ask!), and piled into the main 3D screens. So I picked one of the smaller 2D ones and got the entire screen almost to myself. No screaming kids or adults in mine!

The Force was definitely strong with this one. Prequels? What prequels?

Just like FH then.

So in true FH fashion - and this is a *real spoiler*, with no @Tom "lulz multi spoiler" funz going on (and please Tom, don't click until watched):

Spoiler

Han dies

So then. It was good. As a star wars film. My assessment of JJ Abrams was dead-on - shit at Star Trek, good at Star Wars.

But:

Spoiler

You didn't need to kill Han, did you JJ. Really. Did you

.

My missus (not always the sharpest) came out and said of the plot:

Spoiler

"Well, it's a rehash, isn't it. Apart from Han was Obi Wan..."

.

To which I agreed. Strongly.


Anyway. Apart from

Spoiler

Han dying

I think they got it spot on.

Spoiler

But even then I haven't seen his body and Tom got it right with

Spoiler

Walking Dead and chinky guy who's name escapes me*****

so maybe he's not *actually* dead. (But I'm willing to concede that's wishful thinking).

.

Anyway. Watch it before someone fucks it up with spoilers for you.

Like tomorrow morning. Or don't bother - 'cause it'll be too late.

If you couldn't resist and hit the clear spoiler tags anyway: YOU'RE A DICK. BLAME YOURSELF. AND DON'T FUCK IT FOR ANYONE ELSE

Is this aimed at those who skip the final scene?

I don't get that

But please people, if you want to watch the film and are tempted by the above, don't. It was very late, I was very drunk and maybe I shouldn't have posted it.

But I was clear on the spoilers, so if you do click you've only yourself to blame...
