Man Star Wars is one of the few franchises where I’m sure even if the movie isn’t the greatest I know I will have a blast.
That Han Solo origin film is really going to test out this claim.
Sir I went to all the prequels in theaters and still managed to have fun , challenge accepted. That said the only parts of the prequels I remeber are scenes from revenge of the sith, the first two have mostly faded from memory other then Darth maul and duel of the fates .
The Obi-Wan/Jango fight on the waterworld was pretty cool.
Christopher Lee tried really hard.
It's a testament to the problems the prequels had when someone who made their name working on stuff for Hammer Films or with movies like The Wicker Man struggled to make the material sound good.

I find this Star Wars kind of strange since, I haven't seen the trailer that came out in September or whenever, it doesn't actually feel like it is coming out any time soon.
We do have tickets to see it opening night of course, but I don't know, I feel going in blind has robbed some of the build up for me.

Shit I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to get tickets, and I missed out on my friends' group seeing it. Gotta figure out if I wanna squeeze into a terrible seat Thursday or try avoiding spoilers all weekend.

I just partook in a game of Star Wars trivia at one of the bars in town
We came in second but the first place team was, I shit you not, a garrison of the 501st Legion so that wasn’t gonna happen
But we all entered a prize draw at the start and at the end of the game my friend got his name drawn and long story short I’m going to a private screening of TLJ on the 18th

Just had a thought about Poe's X-wing. The black and orange one is his custom special one, since his call sign is Black Leader - but the one he loses in the intro is a regular grey and blue one. The black and orange is a replacement. So did he get the unique one later on short notice, or did he always have it and chose to take a boring one in the intro for some reason?
Oh brilliant

The latter. He has the black one in pre-TFA comics.
I haven’t read far enough to find out why he goes with the vanilla X-wing to Jakku though

he flew a standard t-70 while on his secret mission so as to draw less attention, is what I went with for explanation
speaking of spoilers, i do remember fucking up with the avengers, and accidentally clicking quote, rather than spoiler, back when they were separate buttons
My brother loves X wings even in the Xwing mini game he gets sad when they go down in flames
But he hates the t-70

I like both
I like that the t-70 has a few nods towards common sense, it feels like a reasonable iteration on the x-wing
and the t-65 is always going to be the ship I flew most in x-wing alliance

If Han did the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs, and you use parsec as a measurement because it is full of black holes and if you can do it in less distance it means you are going closer to black holes, shouldn't time dilation kick in because time slows down as you approach a black hole and from the observer it would actually take longer?

I've been teaching Time Dilation to kids, then with a seperate class we had a speaker come in today who did the science of Star Wars, and I started thinking about it today and since there is not much work on, I have thought about it way too much, leave me alone.
So apparently this movie is basically coming out Thursday? Went on Fandango and there are a ton of regular price tickets. Grabbed one for a Thursday evening showing for on the way home.
so i was on youtube and one of those unskippable ads before the video came on
it was for Star Wars and said
DON'T

I clear my browsing history from YouTube every day for this exact reason, especially because you can not turn off (easily) recommended videos or auto-play.

Seems that most movies anymore (at least the ones I'm interested in seeing) have early releases on Thursdays. Used to be midnight showings for a small handful of big movies, then the midnight showings started getting earlier. I'm guessing it helps them boost that opening weekend box office take by giving the weekend an extra day.

The opening weekend has become more and more important
the only premiere impression that I can trust is the one I saw that says "it's too long and the middle act is kind of boring but other than that, great movie"
I'm really hesitant to trust the first people in the world to see the movie all saying "it's amazing!" without reservation

I saw a bunch of "verified" Twitter account impressions and just thought "this is all fluff. . ." However Rainn Johnson has done two movies I really loved and one movie that people say is OK. And dude has just been given his own trilogy. It's entirely possible that this movie doesn't live up to the hype, but I honestly, don't see Johnson dropping the ball so spectacularly that TFA is regarded as the better movie (not a knock on JJ, but his style was all over that film).
And Ava Duvernay (who is the only pro I recognized in the impressions) seems to be really sold in the film.

See you next year
At least until Thursday.
Seen two teasers today, both say, “Don’t let anyone spoil this”
Followed by bits that have been seen in previous trailers and that most agree have been edited to fake us out

Yeah he was flying covert. It aint that covert to take the ship you are famous for with you.
feels weird to think of it in that way.
i'm glad i'm going to the midnight launch again, since last time had a real nice energy to it. just an all round positive vibe.

oh duh, this makes sense
i still feel bad about that.

Hey guys I felt a disturbance like someone was trying to apply real science to Star Wars and had to come back quick to laugh at them.
Hahahaha
Okay. Peace.

It helps them goose that number a bit

It’s tongue-in-cheek. If you’ve seen the trailers, there’s nothing new. And I’m 99% sure what they show aren’t real spoilers anyways.
