Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser #2

[col63onel]

I have never read a work of fiction with so many uneeded colons in my life. Seriously,there are like 3 colons a page. Sentences like "He had two choices: left or right."

Dude, either use a comma or make it 2 sentences. So stupid.

Also, so many forced references to the original trilogy.

Couldn't find any iMax theaters in the CLE area on a cursory search. So maybe I'll stick around in Columbus and extra day and catch it at the imax in the Lennox AMC by campus.

Only problem? Opening night, only showing open still is at 1:40 AM.

Not sure if I should just wait until Friday the 18 to see it. Really don't wanna see any spoilers. Almost every big time movie, game, or TV show I look forward to I get spoiled.

If you find any tickets in Cbus, let me know. I live on the west side of Columbus but will drive all the way to Easton/East side if I have to. I am in your boat, I do not want any spoilers and that is all that is going to happen on Twitter and Facebook, etc.. plus co-workers talking about it.

I think I am going to look for tickets sometime this afternoon. If I do, I will message you.

So it is heavily assumed that the 1st person shown (wearing goggles and some sort of white scarf/sheet around her head) in the new trailer is Daisy Ridley, and I think it is. However, on the official poster, they show Daisy Ridley's face and a different character that seems to have the same goggle/scarf combo on their head. Does that mean there are 2 goggle/scarf people?

So what are the odds, then, that this Rey turns to the Dark Side? If my hypothesis is true and she is Luke's daughter I think she does- it would kind of set up two more movies, no?

If there was ANY negative feedback at all from the most recent and final trailer for STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS, it was the complete lack of Luke Skywalker. When asked about the absence of the quintessential Star Wars hero from any of the marketing, director JJ Abrams said the following: “These are good questions to be asking. I can’t wait for you to find out the answer… It’s no accident.”

Just please don't make him Kylo Ren

Isn't it pretty well assumed that Adam Driver is playing Kylo Ren?

Yes.

In related news, Benedict Cumberbatch was playing John Harrison and was definitely not Khan.

Seriously!

Ugh. This book is the worst.

Also... Space Diapers. Space. Diapers....

Updated review on "Aftermath": Still the absolute worst. I'm about 85% through it.

Here are a sampling of the most recent review headlines on Audible (which I am listening to it on):

Note: I am not skipping any reviews this is literally all of them in a row

"Disappointing and frustrating"
"The only positive is [voice perfomer] Marc Thompson"
"Sad"
"It's a trap!"
"Journey to Nowhere"
"All hat no cattle"
"Help me, Obi Wan"
"It is a pity that the EU was abandoned for this..."
"A Lamentable Mess"
"Terrible Story"
"Belongs in the detention level trash compactor"
"Not Star Wars"
"Avoid this Travesty!"
"The worst out of all the 50 Star Wars books I have!"
"Who's more foolish? The author, or the people who read his book?"
"The writing style is tortuous at best"

And it goes on, and on, and on, and on...

The epilogue is kinda cool

Apparently Kevin Smith saw the movie and said it was so good that it surpassed his highest expectations. And he's a huge Star Wars fan.

This movie is gonna kick ass

It's gonna be a long 6 weeks. Gotta avoid spoilers and just getting my hopes up in general.

I can't see it the Thursday or Friday night. Probably won't be able to see it until Sunday night. Gonna have to stay off the internet for 4 days, I guess.

Spend the next 6 weeks working on your opening night costume/jedi beard.

I think this is the quote you were talking about, right?

Apparently he wasn't allowed to say it was Star Wars explicitly, but he basically did everything he could to make sure you knew what he was talking about.

“I saw a buddy of mine, a filmmaker friend, who is making this movie that is so fucking wonderful,” the director says. “And I saw a chunk of it. And it was… spellbinding. It’s the only way I can describe it. It’s like, I love movies and sometimes I over praise them and shit, but this is the only way I can describe this: it was like – not figuratively, literally – being transported to the fountain of youth. And having the fountain of youth taking me back to 1977. First time I saw a picture called Star Wars. I can’t say much more.

"“There’s a lot of hope out there,” he continued. “But there’s still that cynical edge that’s still leaning forward in their seats and saying, ‘could it be? Did he do it?’ And I fucking promise you – as I hold back the tears – he beyond fucking did it.”

If I was going on actual opening night, I'd consider dressing up. If I am just going on a random day, then I won't bother.
