Star Wars: The Force Awakens

If I ever find a woman fool enough to marry me, those will be our wedding rings or there will be no wedding.
 
Cautiously optimistic for this one. Jar Jar me once, shame on you, Jar Jar me twice, shame on me.

Right?! I am also optimistic that with all of the heavy duty fire power of the new owners of the franchise that this will be pretty good. If nothing else, it will be a big action film, similar to what was done with Star Trek.
 
I'm still a sucker for this franchise. I already bought my tickets. As shitty as The Phantom Menace was it was still the best time I had at the movies when I went to the midnight release.
 
Man, this JJ Abrams Star Wars is some potent shit. I welled up...had a lump in my throat that swelled just as that John Williams score did. And to see the Millennium Falcon getting it done again.....godammit I love that boat.
I'm actually a defender of the 1-2-3......they are surely not as fun or exhilarating as the originals are, but they also stretched far outside of the typical hero's journey and told a much more complex and probably dull story for most people, a slow, methodical dismantling of a democracy. Right in front of its own face. I'll admit one has to endure a lot of...hay...to pull enjoyment from those flicks. But this shit right here?? I'm out of my fucking seat over it, fist-pumping and shit like a moron!
 
I'm super pumped for this movie, but I hate crowds (and I'm frugal), so I won't be seeing it any time soon.
 
You know one thing I didn't see?

Boring-ass Jedi sitting in a circle with their hands folded.

I didn't even see Luke. Maybe he's done the Obi Wan thing and is living as a hermit. I'm down with that.

Jedi are always better one-on-one.
 
I will fucking weep when I see the Falcon take flight. I know it.

I will need to see it opening weekend. I've waited long enough.

NO fucking shit...why is this happening to me? Today we were musing about the flick and all what might happen....and we landed on: Han dies, goes out every inch the swaggering anti-hero. And just when you think the Falcon is grounded for good...a man appears, Lando Calrissian. He spares a moment for his fallen friend, looks at Leia, and the impossible mess our heroes are in, grabs up the yoke and flies faster into the flames of Hell! YEEHAWW!! ONCE! MORE! ....UNTO THE BREACH!


I'm thrilled for this, really. Shedding all nostalgia this looks like it could be the Star Wars movie that we've never really gotten. One with a classic story, swashbuckling action, humanistic and vulnerable acting, and actual emotional drama. I love Star Wars in all its forms but this is something I cannot say the fans have ever really been treated to.
 
i rifftrax star wars marathon might be a good idea. it's only proper for the prequels at least. also, they are all silly.

and that's okay.
