Star Wars VII Discussion Thread (was: Star Wars new trailer)

[thebinmann]

I am getting a bit soft in my dotage. There are entire genres I cant watch anymore cus they make me too sad or upset. Thank god there is still Rom com, light fluffy and nothing upsetting other than the premise for the entire genre. (which I can deal with.)

Don't watch Bridges of Madison County then...

[thebinmann]

yep, Eyes misted up when the theme started and that familiar openingcrawl came on screen, and also with the Chewie where home moment with Han, even though that was in the trailer 

Wow, have you considered changing your name?

Just been to see it.

Loved it!

Am I allowed to share the two things I didn't like? They aren't really spoilers...

I think we should wait a little longer before we discuss movie-specific things 

[uti long smile]

Saw it earlier. Happy days!

At the last minute I went for the 3d showing.  It was empty. There were several great 3d bits that had people in the audience putting hands up against stuff that wasn't there.

It's so nice to be thinking "I can't wait for the next one" rather than "please let it be better"!

I must say I am really impressed with the whole nerd community. Usually the internet is overflowing with spoilers within 15 minutes if a movie premiere. I have found it hard to find any with this.

I agree there seems to be a consensus not to spoil the movie for others.

Just saw it, totally delivers, after so many disappointing remakes/reboots/sequels I'm relieved this one is so much fun and just so Star Wars.

Strong men also cry. Strong men... also cry.

Oh my oh my oh my that was an enjoyable film.

The red lightsaber effects and red lasers look very angry now. Tats a very nice touch to the art direction, and captures the vibe of the dark side more rather than blue vs red blades.

Now if only there was a local Disney store I could raid for star wars toys.

Cheers

Honestly, I liked Kylo Rens lightsaber the first time I saw it in the teaser, but after seeing it in the movie, I love it.
It looks like pure, raw energy, very agressive

Saw it yesterday...what a pile of crap!
So bad that I am going to see it again tomorrow.

It was one of those films where I genuinely thought "no, don't let it be over!" I'd definitely go and see it again.

We went to see it this afternoon.
Lots of gaming potential
