I’m staying away from these now. It’s less than a month away. We’ve waited this long, 28 Days is nothing.

You didn’t watch this one? Pretty sure Luke’s crying in that one shot.

I did not. And now I know Luke cries in it.

Well I’m probably wrong.

I like that one really small, minor thing was 100% confirmed in that latest TV spot.
Spoiler: show
In The Force Awakens, when Kylo Ren is reading Rey's mind.... "You're so lonely... So afraid to leave... At night, desperate to sleep... You imagine an ocean... I see it... I see the island..." He's talking about Ahch-To where Luke Skywalker is. I think we all assumed that, but it's nice to get that confirmation.

Agreed but I think that’s been creatively edited in the the trailer. Not sure she’s responding to him or it’s relevant to the shot it’s over.

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. I'm just talking about the line. It's irrelevant when/where it happens.

Dime - How many times are you going to see this the first day it is released? You've got your work cut out if you want to catch your Force Awakens count.

I saw The Force Awakens twice in theaters. I'm sure I'll see this one at least twice, maybe three times. But I won't come anywhere near dime's count.

Other than catching a few scenes from the trailers, I've pretty much kept myself in the dark on this one. From the little I've seen, it looks really promising. I can't wait to read Dime's reactions.

I'm glad I'm seeing this as soon as possible. I'll be able to enjoy dime's reactions in a more real time fashion.

When I saw TFA, the douche next to me kept checking his phone and distracting me. I finally leaned over and told him in no uncertain terms that if he checked it again he'd need to make a proctologist appointment. When I turned back to the film I had missed the scene where Chewie shoots Kylo Ren and couldn't figure out why he was bleeding or hitting himself. Yeah.

There is a new Rey theory that seems to have quite a bit of support. I've looked into it and I don't think it's any kind of real spoiler for the film. But I just wanted to give you guys a heads up. If you're trying to avoid all spoilers, I'd keep away from any info related to this film but also to Battlefront II and the comics and the novels.

Two booked. Opening night midnight on the 13th and first showing next morning. Then I realised they’re doing round the clock screenings. But I think midnight and following morning will do for day one.

Then I’ll probably go daily after that. Cinema is just download the street :)
Saw TFA 10 Times. Or maybe 11. If I love this it will be at least as much.

Spill. There also seems to be footage from BF in one of the TLJ tv spots on a new planet. A walker shot

Okay, well...
Spoiler: show
What we learn in the Battlefront II story mode seems to strongly suggest that Iden Versio is Rey's mom. There are a ton of YouTube theory vidoes out there that break it all down and get into the specifics. Nothing confirmed or anything, obviously. But we know Battlefront II is canon and the timing of release before TLJ makes sense. There are a lot of things that line up. It could go either way, though. And I won't be surprised if it's NOT actually the case. But things seem to make a good deal of sense.

It's also really interesting, in that newest TV spot that...
Spoiler: show
there's a voice-over (sounds like Luke to me) saying "Who are you?" in almost the exact same tone and cadence as Maz when she's asking Rey the same question back in that Force Awakens trailer.
