The spoiler one. I fear some people have hyped this film up so much in their minds that no matter what is shown will never fulfil them.

That's why having a small idea of what happens is the best way to approach the film in my opinion. If I didn't know a few things, god knows what story my mind would have conjured up.
 
ROTJ Luke > Empire Luke > ANH Luke.

Basically, Luke gets better with every new movie. Which means TFA Luke is going to be amazing.

We really are on the same wavelength.

I'd go so far as to say...

ROTJ Luke >> Empire Luke >>> ANH Luke.

I've realized I'm not terribly find of the guy in the first film. Hamill's tone/delivery on some of those lines is just a bit unseasoned for my tastes. (Obviously Hamill has become an amazing actor/VA since.)
 
I think everyone here should temper expectations. Keep 'em reasonable.

I spoiled myself on the story a few months back, but I don't know the finer details. I'll tell you that I like what I read.
 
So annoying that the big screens in town are showing in 3D only. Maybe do a small screen 2D digital this week, and then if the movie really impresses, do a roadtrip for 70mm.
 
I'm hyped, but going in with lowered expectations. Your not going to please everyone.

Nope!

I'm just happy we are getting more Star Wars films. At the frequency that they will be coming out from this point on, even if some of them aren't to your taste, sooner or later the odds are they will turn out one that you will love.

I agree. I just would like to not know the big stinger :/

But man, I would like to know why they are angry xD But I wont look. Its not even two days.
 
My hype is through the roof but my expectations are in check. Probably the best way to enjoy these things. Cannot believe I'll be seeing a new Star Wars movie in two days..
 
The #1 reason I'm hyped for Star Wars is that Star Wars always ushers in abbreviated golden ages of space shows on TV. We've really needed one for an eff-off long time, and with The Expanse, Red Mars, the new Star Trek show, and more on the horizon (or in The Expanse's case, already upon us) history is repeating like the pendulum it is.

My #2-99 reasons are all Star Wars related of course.
 
I'm expecting an nice enjoyable movie. But nothing that will touch the older movies, those have the rose tinted memories of nostalgia and that will never change for me.

To bad, it was a really nice discussion with you guys, but since the people who want to destroy the experience arrived I am out if this thread.
Will look if I still post after Tuesday since this thread will be overcrowded I am not sure.

Have a lot of fun and dont get spoiled.
 
I mean if they're not actual spoilers then cool but the way it was worded, and even wild speculation in a spoiler free OT, just seemed like someone fucked up.
 
I thought they were? It seemed like he intentionally missed out the character name and fucked up and misworded the last part to spoil?

I saw it once but didn't really pick up anything, but it was largely incoherent and sounded like an 8 year old speculating shit. So maybe I was lucky that I didn't really look into it?
 
i mean even if that's a real spoiler, it's kinda been known that (possible spoilers i dont know i haven't read up on this)
the OT cast was likely to only appear in this first movie
so i'm not going to sit here and be mad.

Still kinda shitty though. The funny thing is is that if that post is actually spoilers the only way for people to know is if they've been spoiled themselves and by voicing that they are true, it is then when people are getting spoiled.

so maybe people who know the actual spoilers shouldn't be in this thread

Shouldn't be allowed regardless, it doesn't add anything to the thread and just allows for potential shit heads to ruin the movie

Also wish certain threads could be junior locked from posting (no offense junior bros)

I did too because I just got off work and jumped in the thread and weird spacing in the post I missed the first 2 parts and then that last line hit me...

Joke spoilers or anything like it should be bannable right now, a lot of us are trying to enjoy the hype without ruining it.
 
Get out while you can people, this thread is going down

Spoiler Wars.

I'm not bailing. This is the only place keeping me sane, Jurassic World gate doors and all. It's like being Han in ANH charging the Stormtroopers and dodging the laser fire. It's fun, scary, admittedly stupid not to bail, but I'll let the Force decide.

Oh fuck I don't condone it, I was just saying I guess I'm lucky because nothing really stuck out, just sounded like weird theorizing nonsense.

this. I came here happy to have a place where I can share my hype..I bought this today:

but this way? come on..I'm out. ffs why can't some people not keep stuff to themselves.
 
so maybe people who know the actual spoilers shouldn't be in this thread

Or people could just not be assholes.

If one knows the spoilers, they should have enough common sense not to say anything one way or another (because yes or no can be taken as a confirmation).

(Besides, even those who know stuff only know a limited amount. No dialogue has been leaked, only the shooting schedule (and some other stuff), meaning there's a lot of unknowns.)
 
See, this is why I decided to take the plunge and see the movie on Sunday rather than wait. It'll be the first time since college that I went to the theater by myself, but fuck it.

There's no way I'm waiting longer than that with the bullshit spoiler culture we have to deal with.
