What exactly IS Force Friday?

Marketing. Instead of just releasing the toys to the market, they have a massive push for outlets (media and otherwise) so they can all run stories on the same day. Oh and I believe all of the toys are released to stores at the same time so it's just a massive push to get that small struggling Star Wars brand out there in front of some eyes.

So - does everyone get their own BB8 style driod in this movie? Did they go 'Wow everyone seemed to love BB-8 in the last one, so now let's give everyone one of those droids!'?

BB-h8

BB-9e. Those guys are dicks

And thanks Dime for using the spoiler tag on the above post, which I won't click on.

It's just a pisser that we have to cater for a small few and change how we talk. There's a hardcore set of people frequent this thread and we've always talked openly but now we have to use spoilers when in fact we know next to nothing factual just in case some Rm clown gets pissed as he browsed through randomly? Cmon.

Dime, I understand that frustration. But I've been on this RM board, and the ones that preceded it, for at least 14 years. I'm not a random RM clown and while I don't post much to this thread, I visit it everyday.

Again, I appreciate your comments and the rest of the gang advancing the discussion here.

Huge big push on the toys. It's a pisser for the collectors though. There'll be figures that are exclusive to target and others ones exclusive to walmart etc so you're double fucked if you're not in the US for that stuff but assholes but the stuff in bulk at the midnight openings and it's on eBay minutes later for obscene money.

But stepping back generally it's the opening shot for the marketing of the new film.

This is a huge spoiler. Even I'm not opening it.

its not bad. Its vague. Its just titles.

All of which ive already forgotten and wont even remember looking at come time to watch the movie.

So, since it's already tomorrow for Dime, has he already seen the trailer?

I feel like they have done a super great job with the tease for this one. Its fucking killing me but i kind of dig it. We've gotten images, a vague trailer, and vague commentary. Just enough to frustrate me.

My pal opened that link. He said it's the TLJ equivalent of the phantom menace tracklist spoiler.

I'm definitely not opening of it's on that scale.

I dont know what he is talking about but it means basically nothing.

I dont know. Im different but i will legit forget about it all by movie time.

You guys probably read a leaked script and this tracklist of sorts confirms what you read. Otherwise, it means nothing to a guy like me and the rest of the posters here.

The phantom menace track list released before the film. One of the tracks was 'Qui gons noble end'. So it was a huge spoiler before the film was seen. LFL have strived to avoid that ever since. Toy leaks happen particularly lego it nothing substantial. Seems that someone at Topps has dropped the ball releasing early. that much detail can easily be put together by rabid Star Wars fans. Something as simple as titles can tell you everything.

If we'd got the TFA soundtrack before hand you'd know luke wasn't gonna be til the end. Last track is jedi steps. Just as an example

Force awaken crawl

Luke Skywalker has vanished. In his absence, the sinister FIRST ORDER has risen from the ashes of the Empire and will not rest until Skywalker, the last Jedi, has been destroyed.

With the support of the REPUBLIC, General Leia Organa leads a brave RESISTANCE. She is desperate to find her brother Luke and gain his help in restoring peace and justice to the galaxy.

Leia has sent her most daring pilot on a secret mission to Jakku, where an old ally has discovered a clue to Luke’s whereabouts….

Does the first order give a shit about anything other than Luke Skywalker? according to the opening crawl of the Force Awakens - No.

It doesnt really establish anything in retrospect.

This is going to suck

Same as anything. Comes down to how tuned in you are or choose not to be.

Snokes Megastar destroyer the Supremacy. Cool call back to a few ships in the prequels.
