It's easy to blame Jar Jar for how bad the Prequels are, but it ignores the main problem: George Lucas. The man can't write or direct (he admits he can't direct). He made some pretty good actors look terrible. I like Natalie Portman, Ewen McGregor and Jimmy Smits, and they looked awful.

What saved the Original Trilogy was the story for the first one was a straight forward hero myth, and Lucas didn't write or direct the second and third. He had too much control for the Prequels.

MODEL: 4SBWU |SKU: JEDI_4SBWU |PART: IVIMMXV

When hokey religions are your thing and ancient weapons your carry, there is no substitute for the Model 4SBWU Lightsaber Tactical Holster. Featuring a snap-tight self-locking system, the 4SBWU keeps your lightsaber confined to your side with no unwanted movement during spins and rolls and protects against inadvertent drops in Wampa caves or garbage chutes. Calibrated to resist Dark-Side Jedi powers, the Force-activated release allows for menacing draws against Dark Sith Lords, clones, bounty hunters or evil Emperors alike plus the often required quick draw for cantina brawls. Water repellent for those unexpected drops into trash compactors and swamps, the 4SBWU has a standard double leg strap and soft SafariSuede™ protects the lightsaber’s grip and finish to last for 900 years it will...

Available in Jedi Black, Tatooine Tan, Fett Camo and Hoth White (female version

I actually got one of these sitting in the closet for the boys birthday coming up. He's turning into a pretty big star wars fan since I showed him all the movies so I think he'll turn out alright lol. Of course I'll have to take out for testing soon, just to be sure it works and all before his birthday.

yup... saw that during halftime on MNF

And I'm gonna go see this. I've seen every Star Wars in the theater on its opening run starting with the original in 1977, so guess I'll be making my first appearance in a movie theater since before Avatar this Christmas. yay crowds.

I'm with Voodoo on this ... gonna wait a couple of weeks until the thrill dies a little, then catch a show in the middle of the day - on a weekday.

May see Spectre while everyone else is at Star Wars.

LOL - remember "Bizzaro World" from the Superman comics? Everything is backwards ------------ welcome to my world !!

Actually things are starting to settle down. Only been retired a year, and the relocation has killed just about all my spare time so far. Looking better for the new year though.

Had to get out of the pool and dry off to respond - so everything isn't so bad in Central Florida [:D]

You think the line will be that long? I figure an hour beforehand would be plenty to get decent seats?

I have to confess... I never saw any of the original Star Wars movies until about the year 2000. I was living in Hawaii and my house mate had a boxed set of all them and an old VCR. It flooded rain for about a week so we were stuck inside so I finally watched them.

I guess I won't wait that long to see this one. I will either catch a matinee or give it about a few weeks.

The good thing about living in a small town is I can get a ticket, get a large drink and a large popcorn all three for ten bucks. If I go to the matinee it's even cheaper.

Ihave a younger guy at work that had never seen the original 3... said they were lame graphics and so on. After having a chat with him about how mind blowing they were in 1977, I brought in my custom BluRays (Han still shoots first!) to work and we played them over a few shifts (on our 184" HD projection stadium theater seating TV room!)

A few years ago I started getting called into our "technical interviews" when we were hiring new IT guys. Last question I would always ask they guys who were good candidates was "Star Wars or Star Trek?" Needless to say, the Force is strong in our IT department. :)

It's a great movie. Did it live up to the hype? No, but I doubt that was a reality. It was packed full of action, and there's a moment which you see coming but when it actually happens you are left breathless. My only complaint is that it throws you into the current timeline with no backstory. It does little to fill the 30 some odd year gap from ROTJ.

I agree with all of this. I know the backstory fill-in they're trying to accomplish with their cross-promoted media stuff, but it would have worked better had it been in the movie (at least some of it).

I thought most of it was great, there were a couple things that should have been done better, and had they been it could have been a classic. Instead, I'd say it's a good movie compared to what we get these days out of Hollywood, but falls short of the original.

I was debating buying Battlefront just to learn about the battle at the Abu Dhabi planet. But I kind of lost interest when I could direct that $50 to other stuff.

A request for those that have seen it... CAN WE MAKE THIS A SPOILER-FREE THREAD? At least for a little while. My plan is to see it next week, but it's dependent on crowds. 'Cause I hate people.

Here's a Battlefront spoiler: they don't tell you anything about what happened at Jakku. You just fight on some maps that have wreckage on them. Battlefront as a whole is pretty disappointing, though it is on sale on Xbox this week (one month after release, if that tells you anything). At the sale price it's not so bad, but it's not worth full price.

If you look around a few places have write ups that talk about what happened between RotJ and TFA.

Disappointing, but kind of the gut feeling (force?) that I was getting. I don't really end up playing online anymore, plus I play on a PC and not a console, so that's yet another reason why I waved off. Thanks for confirming.

Spoiler free comment. The wife and I enjoyed it. We'll see it again in the theater. 3D was well done too. Too bad a kid ruined a major plot in the lobby between showings. be careful out there.

Well I can finally dip back into this thread. We went and saw it last night, good movie, the boy behaved him self, he's 5 so it's iffy if he will right now. It was a good time, can it equal the first time you saw Star Wars, no but that's probly not gonna happen. Over all it had a good Star Wars feel to it, the first flight of the falcon scenes were probly worth the admission by itself. Wont talk anymore about the movie itself right now, but it was an amazing experience to sit in theater with my son on my lap and see him mesmerized with some of the scenes and having him ask me questions all the way through, made for a special night.
