I just got back home...I saw Star Wars free!

[Archae]

Marcus Theater apologized to me, said the worker didn't know what she was talking about.

So I got in free and saw it!

*GREAT* movie!

But it had that sad scene...

[rusty quoin]

1. Are you the person who complained about getting to the cinema earlier and was escorted

Out because it was something like 13.50 rather than 10.50 advertised?

[PoiBoy]

2. I'm glad it worked out for you...

..and you can't beat the price of admission...!!!

I agree it was a good movie and THAT scene had me blinking a little...

[jmowreader]

3. Come on...

the scene where they drew and quartered Jar Jar Binks with Kylo Ren's light saber was okay, but there were better parts.

[Throckmorton]

4. Am I the only person on the entire inter-tubes that loves Jar Jar Binks?

He reminds me so much of George Bush, Part 2.

[kaiden]

6. My ex-daughter-in-law is a dead ringer for Jar Jar

I was always fond of him.

[jmowreader]

8. Not really

Jar Jar was, at heart, a good (whatever he was). George Bush, Part 2, had no heart.

9. And Jar Jar's English was better than W's

13. Bush is gonna go all "nucular" on you for that. nt

14. Jar Jar reminded me of someone I know who has a heart of gold. I never hated him.

[Ilsa]

5. I got choked up seeing the first scene with

Gen. Leia Organa or whatever her name is. She hasn't been in many movies, and it reminded me of how much time had passed since the first time I saw her. She was wonderful and looked fantastic. I can't imagine anyone else in the role. I won't comment on or spoil the other appearances.

I don't think there have been many sequels that have the multi-decade expanse keeping original characters that age appropriately, like me.

15. Carrie Fisher is a goddes to me. She's wonderful, a very colorful person. She has bi-polar and

is one of the most high priced and in demand script doctors in hollywood. She is an amazing author as well. Very, very funny woman.

[Ilsa]

19. I remember the announcement about her

Mental health issues, struggles, etc. I admire her immensely.

[Logical]

7. Well, THANK GOD! I know that was a terrible horrible experience for you. nt

[pintobean]

10. Cool story, bro.

[beevul]

11. At least you got your monies worth.

Episode 7 is slightly better, and I do mean slightly, than episode 1, but all the other 5 are better. Lots better.

It was a foregone conclusion that JJ would make a mess of it, and seeing the movie was just a confirmation. The film contains LOTS of examples of 'made for tv' level bad. I wont list them all, but I'll touch on the biggest and worst example:

Establishing Kylo Ren at the very beginning of the film as a badass force user who could stop and hold laser bolts in mid air for a significant duration using the dark side (something which not even vader or palpatine could do), but then later in the movie the scene in which Ren has troubles pulling a light saber out of a pile of snow, similar to luke in the snow cave in 'empire'.

That's a big enough hole to drive a planet through. Typical JJ. The decision to leave that in the movie, was as monumentally stupid as destroying Vulcan right out the gate in his trek 'reboot'.

*GREAT* movie!

After seeing this movie, I'd have to say the best part IMO was the credits, because it meant it was finally over.

While I enjoy some of the original stuff Abrams has done, I have yet to see one single thing which hes 'remade' 'rebooted' or otherwise 'JJ-fied', which I couldn't say was worse than the original.

Minor generic rant:

Can I just mention here that I think 'reboot' is one of the single worst terms ever used about movies? When I 'reboot' my computer, it doesn't power down then power back up as a completely different, less powerful, less capable, less enjoyable, machine.

12. I don't know how Yoda could see through those aged, fleshy eyelids.

But it made sense that they would put him in a life support suit to keep his wisdom and knowledge base a part of the storyline. Because, how else would they do it?

16. That was Lupita N'yongo (sp. sorry) who was the little woman with the big eyes,

Daniel Craig ... 007 was a storm trouper and ... damn I'm terrible with names today ... the guy who was Montgomery Scott in Star Trek was there too. A couple of others but I forget. Andy Serkis Gollum was the big dude, the huge holograph

17. Erm...

jk

18. In your first thread

you said the manager was involved. Why didn't he/she know that the worker didn't know what she was talking about at the time?
