Oh man. I'll just pretend Yub Nub was done later in the Ewok/Alliance party not for viewing consumption. After much punch was has been drunk.
No. It's a different take.
Amen.
My roommates hate me for that opinion.
That's my #1 as well. One of my favorite songs of all time.
#2 is the Throne Room/Chorus gig in ROTJ. #3 is the track from the asteroid chase in Empire.

You need a precise gamer mouse to navigate on GAF these days.

Guys FFS add this thread to your subscriptions and access it through there instead of risking clicking the spoiler thread
We are so close now
We are so close now
I will unsubscribe anyway when there are people who have seen this movie. The crowd for star wars is way to big to ensure that there arent evil/stupid people who dont use the tag.

Only one more day to make it through, so happy I'm seeing it at midnight on Wednesday. Staying off twitter, any online games and anything with a comments section until then.
Yup, those two are also great. And Battle of the Heroes. And Han Solo and the Princess. Screw it, everything's amazing! Hopefully Williams nails the soundtrack yet again.

In the wait for some official reviews, here's a fun thing:
ABC News review debate for Return of the Jedi.
Siskel and Ebert defend it from John Simon who says:
John Simon also called Empire Strikes Back "malodorous and awful".
So, ya never know...

I don't think its the same "noooo", but its still horrible.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Oh what the fuck.
Did the marathon with five buddies. Starts at 4am Thursday. Called the theater to ask what time they allow folks to line up (since seats are not assigned, and I want to sit with my buddies, obviously), and he replies "10:30am tomorrow."
Wednesday morning?!?! lol, he said they've already had to turn several folks away. :-/
I was gonna get there at like 3am - an hour early. lol, we already have the tickets.

Damn son. I'm so glad I've got reserved selected seating. God speed to all those who have to grab a seat :3

The "Noooo!" in ROTS is bad because of Vader's movements as he says it.
The "Noooo!" in ROTJ is bad because it doesn't need to be there.
The delivery of the word in both instances isn't the worst thing about the situation.

Siskel and Ebert put alot of effort into critics accepting Star Wars. Star Wars was relatively frowned upon by critics, Ebert/Siskel lobbying changed that. Atleast thats how I remember it.
I liked it in ROTS, its a great homage to Frankenstein.

Im too afraid to even find reaction out of fear some will have spoilers.
I mean if yall find one and post it here, the ones that are spoiler free, Ill read them, but no way im going deep into twitter for them.

I was smart, though... TFA in the marathon plays at 7pm.
I purchased 8pm tickets in the best theater with the best reserved seats you can get, for all six of us, too. So, while it costs a bit more - if our seats aren't great in the marathon, we'll wait an hour to see the newest movie in the best way possible.

He sounds boring as hell. God knows what he would think of Bay's Transformers films lol.

Haha, really. Simon is basically 'no fun allowed' come to life. He said he would rather take his hypothetical kids to see "Tender Mercies".
I'm placing trust in NeoGAF to find and post the non spoiler ones. Hopefully that's not a mistake..

Seriously, not every movie needs a well crafted message about life or has to be a learning experience to be good. Movies like star wars are just well crafted fun that help spur the imagination.
But ESB has both of those, which make up some of the best scenes in SW.
That video was awesome. This John Simon guy is like Scrooge. It's hilarious.

Yeah, no way in hell am I going on Twitter or FB.. its so close. I know so little going in I would be severely pissed if I got spoiled now.
Nope not happening. Hoping to watch the movie in the same condition I'm in now.
I'm basically going on internet lockdown starting tonight until Thursday night when I see the movie. I'm going to be very careful with what threads i visit on GAF
I dont think that was the case, majority of critics loved it, with a few outliers. Unless they did some magic behind the scenes?

True, but in that video he argues the films have no humanity, are 95% special effects and you can't relate to any of the characters. None of which I can understand.

The thing that always keeps me from hating the ewoks and ROTJ in general is that it's thematically perfect in its fairy tale progression.
The OT begins in a desert where everything is about the power of machine over nature, the middle of the series starts in ice and develops into the fusion of machine and man, of evil and good within the lineage of Luke and he and his father's mutilation and supplementation with cyborg limbs, and the final entry ends on a lush, vibrant world where the wild creatures (good) help defeat the machines (evil) largely with sticks and logs.

Never thought about it from that perspective. Cool.

Thank god for reserved seating, these line stories are insane
I don't care if he thinks Star Wars is bad, but his opinion of animation as a medium is really stupid.
Yes, but what if they were wookies?
So its the PT discussion 30 years to early?
