Well, I've read the books and wait until you see ______.

Well, I've read the books and wait until you see ______.

This is probably the first Star Wars movie I can think of that isn't releasing the book until AFTER the movie (although you can get the digital download on the 18th--the proper hard cover isn't available until January 5th).

They (JJ Abrams, Lucasfilm & Disney) are trying really hard to avoid spoiling much of the movie and to be honest I think right now if you aren't looking for them you can be pretty spoiler free going in. Even if you ARE looking for them there still hasn't been a reveal on the final look of Snoke (you can find an early concept art) or a confirmed Luke Skywalker storyline (plenty of rumors and speculation though). Just over 2 weeks until release and a lot of the story truly is under wraps.

What I love about JJ is he is not above leaking false information and letting false rumors fester to throw off fans. I know some people don't like it but I do. Keeps some secrets from the fans and keeps us guessing until the movie comes out.

Spoiler

Supposedly, according to rumors, this is this might be the end of a very iconic part of the SW universe that might be in this trailer.

 

[Covert Rain]

I can't wait. Taking my son to see 1 AM viewing Imax 3D. The on Saturday taking my wife and daughter to see it on regular screen. Tickets purchased and counting down.

The good news? All the early buzz is good. Many critics have seen it and almost all the early indications are positive.

 

[BillsCarnage]

Yeah a few are even tossing Oscar buzz around it too.

Crazy to think about how close it is compared to when it was announced way back when.

 

[Covert Rain]

Rottentomatoes score was 100% until just about an hour ago. Dropped to 97%.

"Always two there are".

By the way, I can say it now. I knew how great this movie was. Someone I know was able to see a preview of the film. They told me flat out....I will want to see this movie multiple times. That's why above, I mentioned I purchased opening night tickets for my son and I with another set so the entire family (with my wife and daughter) can see it too on Saturday.

Better be right!

Spoiler-free review:

'Star Wars' review: 'The Force Awakens' with a vengeance

http://www.azcentral.com/story/ente...ens-movie-review-4-and-a-half-stars/77324908/

 

[BillsCarnage]

So far the preview buzz is matching the hype. I've read 6-8 reviews and all are good.

Here's one from Geektyrant - http://geektyrant.com/news/star-war...uel-youve-been-hoping-for-spoiler-free-review

Let me start with this: The Force Awakens is absolutely the Star Wars movie you've been waiting for since Return of the Jedi, not only because it continues the story of the original trilogy, but because it brilliantly recaptures the essence of those movies while adding its own new touches, memorable characters, and iconic moments to the saga. As I'm sitting here writing this, mere minutes after seeing the film at a screening, I think The Force Awakens is the best Star Wars movie since The Empire Strikes Back, and by an incredibly large margin.

Going to Brass Tap tomorrow evening for Stouts and Smores, a Star Wars themed beer party (Brass Tap will be playing all the Star Wars movies as well) and then to the Cinemark after to watch the movie.

 

[Covert Rain]

Evidently, there is one toy newly released that gives up one of the reveals from the movie. So, if you go Christmas shopping, buy on site verses diving into the details of the toy. DO NOT READ or inspect the details on the box. LOL.

I am trying to avoid everything.

No, I will not be at Brass Tap tomorrow

 

[Chris_Sanders]

No, I will not be at Brass Tap tomorrow

That's is kind of funny but if you like Stout this is going to be a good one. Bell's Brewery is bringing in 4 different Stouts for this including two Imperial Stouts (of course).

Should be a great time.

Spoilers are out there, peeps. Far greater than what a character was wearing or carrying on an unreleased action figure package. Tread lightly on the web until you see the film.

Avoid any SW searches on Google, Youtube, and even Wikipedia. Yikes.

I have an official embargo today on any "News" sites related to Star Wars. A friend of mine read an allegedly spoiler free review but the way something was stated gave away something he didn't want to know. LOL.

I told him to stay away until tomorrow but he didn't listen.

I was already spoiled on a Facebook page totally non related to Star Wars, they showed a screen shot of an obviously pretty important scene. It was something I had heard rumors of happening but I sure could have done without the picture.

Less than 6 hours until I am in the theater.

I saw the same picture with a more detailed description of who the other person was too. Meh. Jerks out there trying to spoil it for people makes no sense to me.

Stoked for this movie. Seeing it on Saturday morning.

One of my five-year-old twin daughters has Autism and she is fixated on Darth Vader. She cried hysterically at the end of Return of the Jedi when they burned Vader.

She wants to see the movie, but I've had to prime her that Vader isn't in the movie, only his destroyed mask, and that Kylo Ren is the new Sith Lord and he's just like Vader.

She still knows the entire series and can tell you the difference between the Empire and the Rebels.

 

[Dback Jon]

I really hope Jar Jar Binks has a prime role in this one.
