If they drop the price of crates (using in-game credits) down to close to beta levels it'll be fine. I progressed like a mofo all through the public beta, and was totally fine with the rate I was adding cards.

I literally had a reaction to that like I imagine I would if it came down that Congress voted to impeach. And I'm not going to play the game regardless. I think I need to get my priorities sorted.
In a shit year of nothing but awful shit, this is a good thing that has happened and has salvaged my anticipation of this game. I was really looking forward to it until all the loot box drama, and now I can just enjoy the game for a while without feeling like a dirtbag for wanting to play the new Star Wars game.

When it comes to unlocking things I'm up to over 29,000 credits at less than 7 hours played. At this rate I could unlock Palpatine, Leia and Chewbacca after another match or two. Unlock Iden with credits from playing the campaign when I get to that. And then it would be another 15k each for Vader and Luke. Even if the next 30,000 credits took 50% longer that would be all character unlocks within about 18 hours, plus however long I spend on the campaign. Though at this rate it would be faster to earn the credits in multiplayer. I want to play the campaign soon anyway though, so whatever.
In any event, seems like something must have changed drastically because this is nothing at all like any of the calculations that were being talked about. Granted, spending everything on character unlocks would mean very little progression elsewhere - not zero, since some challenges include crate rewards - but I don't feel any great need to get star cards just yet. Maybe if it starts to feel like I'm falling behind, but everything's going great so far. My last starfighter match last night I finished with 28 kills and 4 kill assists to only 5 deaths, and the most points by far because I was on target almost the entire time working on objectives and not just flying around dogfighting, and I had zero cards for any of the ships I flew.
I like to imagine that the stormtroopers blasted Owen and Beru with their blasters so much that they burst into flames rather than the stormtroopers attempting to dispose of the evidence post-blasting
Top secrecy from Disney to keep everything from the movie under wraps

Hell yeah
This was actually debunked as a small theater's particular cup. They just pasted an image of Alden Ehrenreich's head on an old publicity photo.

Was taking a look at tickets for TLJ and am very strongly considering buying a single matinee ticket for after opening weekend so I can go enjoy it all on my own. Can’t imagine a noon screening on a Tuesday would be that packed...

Consider the potential school breaks likely to be going on at the time.
Maybe it won't be too crowded.
Maybe a bunch of worn out parents have dropped their spawn off at the movies unattended so they could enjoy an hour of quiet in the seasonal insanity.

That seems like a fair bit of effort in service of something that is both terribly pointless and might also get you smote by the terrible wrath of Disney Corp.

All of the school districts around here will still be going that week. If I like it enough after catching a crowded matinee with my son the first Saturday I'll go back and see it again during the school day that following week when it should be quieter.

This is worth investigating. It's either that or go any night of opening weekend (I work Friday through Monday during the daytime) and deal with the mayhem that would involve.

That looks like a Harkins cup (unless there's some small theater that's copying their font), which is one of the two biggest chains in Arizona. I'm pretty sure their loyalty cups are all fairly uniform across all the locations (though I could be wrong).
But also their loyalty cups are usually pretty dumb, so I wouldn't put it past them.
Also I just checked their locations online, and I realized that basically all of their locations are in AZ, with just a few in a small selection of neighboring states, so I guess that's why other people would consider them a "small" theater. I've always lived in AZ, so I guess I just assumed they were a much larger chain.

Because it is a silly time for a movie I don't particularly care about. I'll watch a long film if I really want to, but any long film is going to have to be something special to justify its length. And for me, TLJ isn't.
edit- not wanting to clutter the thread up, but the heart knows what the heart wants, or in this case, doesn't want. Though tbf, I was gonna say that TLJ ought to be short like ESB, but that film is 2 hours.
For me, Star Wars is fine. And that's fine, but fine isn't enough to get me in a seat for 2 1/2 hours.

However small, however temporary.

Awesome
More Star Wars per Star War
It is uncharacteristically brutal that they show you the charred skeletons of Owen and Beru
Like Gremlins was commonly shown to kids lol, I was a mogwai for Halloween when I was 8
There's a lot of stuff which is unexpectedly brutal when you go back to the beginning, especially things which weren't originally "for kids"
There's precedent:
She's apparently a very "divisive" leader, and her and Poe will butt heads because Poe is still fiercely loyal to Leia
That sounds like it'll be so cool
what a terrible statement
"we've listened to you and are turning off in game transactions. we are truly sorry. *pause* we will be adding in game transactions at a later date"
edit: or do they mean purchasable with currency earned by playing the game?
