Star Wars: Episode VIII: The Last Jedi

[Rangi Guy]

So Im gonna buy tickets for the midnight screening on the 13th

How is it we get it a day before you guys? Or is that still a thing?

Certain houses round the US showed Empire 24 hours straight upon its release.

Weird that's not a thing anymore.

Probably because this isn't anywhere near as big of an event as when Empire came out

[dimejinky99]

Empire wasn't big upon release at all. Only a 70mm release initially to prevent bootlegging of the 35mm print.

And empire wasn't nearly as well received or loved as Star Wars. It still did amazing money and took the number 2 all time spot before long but fans pretty much disdained it. It had no ending. Is han dead or alive? Yoda was best received of the entire film it seems.

[Rangi Guy]

Yeah, but back then a movie like that was an event. Now it's just another special effects blockbuster

[VinylGuy]

That hand teaser..wow. I really want to see this one.

[Rangi Guy]

Mechanical arms/hands are awesome

[dimejinky99]

Yeah, but back then a movie like that was an event. Now it's just another special effects blockbuster

I'm biased but I think Star Wars is still the one player in the cinematic field that when it comes On to play, everyone notices it.

[Sgt. Crackpot]

How long now? It's taking forever!

[LetMeSleep]

it's morning there now so probably about midday for us

[Sgt. Crackpot]

Rian is now saying not to watch the trailer.

[dimejinky99]

He said that with the caveat that if you don't want anything spoiled.

It does suggest we're gonna see a lot in the trailer. Luke wielding a lightsaber? Snoke in the flesh? Force ghost Yoda or Anakin? Luke and Leia reuninion?

[Sgt. Crackpot]

Shit. Should I watch it then? Help, Dime.

[LetMeSleep]

Shit. Should I watch it then? Help, Dime.

You're his only hope.

[dimejinky99]

I dunno sarge. I wish I had the fortitude to go dark and not watch any of them so I ain't the man to ask tbh.

[Anders]

Look forward to seeing it today. Don't say that too often about trailers.

[Anders]

[dimejinky99]

Tickets for the midnight screening opening night go on sale at 7am tomorrow.

I can't stay up til 4am to see the trailer. I'm not gonna see this til tomorrow

[VinylGuy]

He seems to be having so much fun with the fanbois.

[dimejinky99]

I think he's being honest cos he's been asked about this a few times and been consistent in his answer.

[Monkey_Driven]

This is today, fun!
