When they announced the EU was no more, I always wondered why this book wasn't included in the new canon as it was released not that long ago. I wonder if darth Plagueis isn't really dead... I stumbled upon this video last week and forgot to post it. Then I was reminded about it after reading this blog. http://makingstarwars.net/2015/12/people-magazine-confirms-snokes-height-and-weight-from-star-wars-the-force-awakens/ Yeah, this has pretty much been the popular theory for the last six months or so....or even longer. At this point, I would actually be shocked if Snoak ISN'T Plagueis. There's been so much evidence to support it. Rey's staff, his height, his long face....everything Serkis has already said about him being vulnerable and having been around for a while....it all adds up. Quote
jaisonline Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 And being 7 feet tall plus very thin. We'll then need Lego to finally introduce a longer minifig leg size. I'm tired of putting 1x1 plates on Chewie & Vader (aka, Frankenstein boots). Quote

We're pretty lucky, we have a pretty cheap theater. It's subsidized by our local university. 4 tickets for 3D, 2 Large Popcorns, 2 Large drinks, & cotton candy for $40. 3 Quote
conceptmachine Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) When I take my family of 4 out its 60 bucks. That includes 3 drinks and large bucket of popcorn that has a free refill. Not cheap...and that's not the prime time. Tack on 15 more for that...it isn't right. Growing up in my small town you could get a movie and popcorn for a buck. Good old Story City, Iowa.

jaisonline Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 I'm taking my son on Dec 18 in the early afternoon. No IMAX for us this time around. He's pumped to see more of Kylo Ren. I'm pumped to just get passed the 3 prequel films. best of all, I get to watch a new Star Wars film with my boy. 6 Quote

Kenxxx Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Check your emails old-timers. I just got an offer of two free seats to an "adults only" showing of TFA on Monday, Dec 21st, here in Charlotte... courtesy of AARP. You have to register for the event, and are still not guaranteed a seat. It is first come first served. They say they have "over invited to assure a full house, but they expect that everyone that shows will probably get a seat." I wonder if they'll have an intermission for the old folks?... you know, give us time to go to the bathroom I registered, but probably can't go, because my son would be crushed. 1 Quote
BoomBoomFlash Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) I just saw the Jeep star wars commercial on TV and realized that BB8 sounds like Donald Duck. I love you Walter Disney! Edited December 12, 2015 by BoomBoomFlash Quote
Mathew Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Anyone else a little concerned that Ep. 7 will be too "fan boyish" and nostalgic? There's something that I can't quite put my finger on after watching all of the trailers. It looks good, but I wonder if some of the Lucas bashers will exit the theater opening night scratching their heads thinking that it was missing his touch. I'm re-watching the Prequels with my boys and my opinion has softened somewhat towards them. The Prequels are still kind of soul-sucking in the stilted dialog and exposition department but overall not bad. I think if Ep. 1 was a 90 minute adventure romp, even with Jar-Jar it would have been a much better film. Ep. 2 has some great moments such as the sequence where Anakin tries to rescue his mother. We haven't watched the rest of the films yet but plan on it before opening weekend. Quote

He was the best thing for the franchise & the worst thing for the franchise, in my opinion... 2 Quote
