That gave me goosebumps. Nice to see that they haven't completely ignored the prequels. The lightsaber choreography in the prequels have always been a favorite of mine.

agree. She is proven time and time again to be a quality actress. Her performance in AOTC and ROTS will always be a mystery to me.

I loved it at the time, but as an adult and looking back on them they feel too choreographed, like they weren't even trying to hit each other, rather it looked more like a dance or something.
One thing I found particularly interesting is that in that the ESB review specifically mentions it being part of a nine-part series. I thought Lucas had always only planned six, but there it is in the original review from 1980
I have it worse, I won't be able to see it until next week or even the week after that.Dat wait

Actually Lucas did say he always meant for there to be nine films to complete the story of the Skywalkers.
And the shooting order was always supposed to be Middle(New Hope, Empire and Return), Beginning(Phantom, Attack, Revenge) and End(Force Awakens, part 8 and 9)
I'm so pumped for this! My parents took me to see the original movie the day it premiered(I'm 43). A bunch of us from my work basically booked an entire back row of a theater for a 5pm 3D showing Friday.![]()
So review embargo is up in about 30 minutes? Or is it tomorrow?
Driver and Ridley are the standout stars. Kylo Ren is probably the most conflicted and emotional villain the series has ever had and his performance was outstanding. After many wooden villain performances in the franchise, this was powerful and moving.Ridley is a complete newcomer but you could not tell. She shines off the screen and can convey so much with her eyes.It also helped that his mask is off a lot which is a welcome change and helps us see his vulnerability.

someone could not wait a few minutes.
Soooo y'all aren't cool with (fake/joke/or otherwise) story beats in here but we are posting gifs from the duel even if some of us have chosen to go dark since trailer 3?
I glazed over it with a soft focus and I know it was given away in a official doc/people are excited or whatever but come on, that is a visual that should be saved for the theater.
Last thing I wanted was to see a bit of the duel for the first time through a gif....
Does anyone think that the new trilogy will use lightsaber battles more sparingly?

Awesome!
I'm only 28 but the special edition re-releases came out at the perfect time, I was 10 in 1997 and my mom took me to see all 3 of the movies. So while I didn't get the *pure* experience you did, I still got to see them for the first time on the big screen and despite the questionable changes they're more or less the same movies. I am so grateful I got to experience that growing up.
yes, mainly because its going back to like the OT, where there were very few Jedi. Unlike Everything since the PT, where it seems almost like everyone is a jedi.
Which is a very good thing in my opinion.

Waiting in line a few hours?its time!
going to the cinema now. So hyped!
That's a solid prediction. I'd say the same.
The STILL haven't updated it, though. No reviews accounted for yet?
Thats the same I put in the RT thread. Could go higher though.

I'll be surprised if it ends up at 90 or higher, even though I know Star Trek 09 is at 95. My gut tells me around 80% give or take 5.
I'm honestly more interested in the average score than the %
I'm going now. Thanks to this topic I didn't spoil myself, thank you for the support. May the force be with you all, always. See you on the other side.

Yeah, idk why I'm in here either lol. But after seeing how people where coming down on guys cracking the most OBVIOUSLY fake spoilers as jokes I didn't think this thread would have anything that wasn't given away in the official trailers, especially considering the marketing was starting to get a little bit loose in the last month. It's whatever, I didn't even really "see" your gif so I'm not mad, just kinda surprised by what people are cool with seeing or talking about heh.If you're going that dark I'm not quite sure why you're in an official thread for the movie with only a few days to go.
Regardless - I removed the gif just in case.
Now, minus the Ewoks, the gang’s back. “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” opens to the American public Thursday evening.
And it is good.
Not great. But far better than “not bad.” Solidly, confidently good.
It’s easily the third-best in the franchise to date, behind the original, renamed “A New Hope” (’77), and “The Empire Strikes Back” (1980). Abrams’s temperament and tastes are sincere and amusing in roughly equal doses, and that’s about right for “Star Wars.”
It took me 10 minutes longer to get to work today because of how intently I was checking both sides of the road before crossing.
Sorry brosef. Around these parts the theaters aren't sold out. Maybe you can find something in a hour radius.5 hours to go and now they changed their mind again and cancelled the movie! Fuck sake!
Tickets are gonna be impossible to get now.
