Thursday night at Arclight, Saturday at AMC Burbank 16, Tuesday at IMAX Universal.

I'll see it even more during the holiday break if it's as good as expected.

Pace yourself for ****'s sake!

I have a conundrum. My daughter and I always watch Star Wars together, but she is going to be out of town next weekend, and my work schedule is so crazy this time of year that I won't have time to catch it during the week. So my options are to see it this coming weekend without her, or wait until the following weekend to go with her and try and avoid ALL interaction with the internet as to not get spoiled. I don't know what to do, lol.

See it twice and act like its your first time

Go by yourself, just don't tell her you've seen it without her or what to expect.

:D

My 5 year old doesn't know I'm taking the 9 year old on Thursday night.

She thinks we're seeing it for the first time on Saturday.

DaneMcCloud 12-09-2017 12:45 AM
Watched Rogue One again tonight.

It’s still the best Star Wars movie, IMO.

Man, I hope VIII delivers.

I'm with you. For me, Rogue One is easily as good as Empire, and maybe even better than RotJ. Just a fantastic movie, and the battle in the third act is as good as any put out in all the movies combined.

Yeah man, it's awesome. SUCH a great movie, regardless of whether or not it's a Star Wars film.

Serious Question:

I'm seeing the film Thursday night at 9pm PST. There might be one or two others seeing it Thursday night as well.

This is a spoiler thread but I'm sure those of us that see it the first or second day will want to discuss the film.

Do those of us use the Spoiler Tags?

I don't want to ruin the film for anyone but just as with Rogue One and The Force Awakens, I'll be amped up when I return home at 12am-ish and will want to spill out my thoughts.

Bowser 12-09-2017 07:38 PM
My opinion is to use the spoiler tags for in depth discussion for the first weekend, then all bets are off after that. I'm willing to bet most of us on here interested in it will find a way to watch it sometime next weekend, but I am certainly open to hearing everyone's thoughts on this and how we should treat it.

That sounds like a plan, although we should make all bets off after 11:59pm Sunday, December 17th. I certainly don't want someone that hasn't been paying much attention pop in and go "Oh SHIT! Why didn't you spoil that?".

Should I put it on the Thread Starter or do you want to do it, as an All Powerful Mod?

:D

I'm not going to look at this thread from the moment it's released until I watch the movie, (Sunday). I'll probably also try to avoid any human interaction if I can help it.

If you have the self control not to click to show spoilers, have the self control not to click on the ****ing thread.

Yeah, I'm torn. It'd be nice to have a couple day grace period to let everyone have a chance to get out and see it, but Unlurking is right - it says SPOILERS in big letters right in the thread name.

Piss on it - I vote to let the discussion fly from the jump. I personally can avoid this thread for a couple of days if necessary. There's no need to spoiler tag everything just to stop doing that a couple of days later.

DaneMcCloud 12-10-2017 12:43 PM
The first reviews are in and it’s a unanimous winner.

Many have said better than Empire.

kcfanXIII 12-10-2017 04:48 PM
God damn I can't wait til Thursday.

I think the spoiler tags should be used til Sunday, but that's just because I think people deserve a chance to see it. I know its a spoiler thread,but there's a difference between pre release spoilers and someone posting after they've seen it.

Nonsense. It's a SPOOLER thread!! There is no difference. It says Stsr Wars Episode VIII Spoilers thread. No where in there saying Star Wars pre release Spoilers thread

okcchief 12-10-2017 07:47 PM
The only thing I would say is don’t post pics because you can see it when you aren’t in the thread. Someone posted a pic of Han Solo getting killed before TFA and I could see it from the lobby. I was pretty sure he was dying anyway but it still kind of sucked.

I never said that was specific to this thread. There IS a difference between internet speculation, and some one posting when Rey's parents are confirmed for example. Say Dane used his big shot connections and got to see an early screening, then got on here and gave the whole movie away, people would be pissed. You can do what you want obviously, but I know how I feel about it.

Same. I saw that on the web - clicked one too many links and saw the shot of the saber through Han and his shocked look on his face. I was pissed.

Exactly.

I’ll be using the Spoiler Tag until Monday morning.

All of the people that have seen it so far say Do Not Spoil.

The last thing that I want to do is ruin the experience for someone.

At least give it till Sunday. I realize this is a spoiler thread but it’s cool to see some non spoiler reactions. Let’s face it - this thread has burst, a non
Spoiler thread is not worthy

Predarat 12-11-2017 01:17 PM
Do we even have a non spoiler thread for this one? I cannot see it on the first three pages. Perhaps I should stop being lazy and search further. Obi Wan when to a different planet to search for lost archives, so I should follow his example.

Rian Johnson said he was a HUGE fan of KOTOR and bringing in any of those characters would be ridiculously awesome.

I can’t wait to see this movie.

Seriously, three more days is three days too many.

I heard excerpts of an interview he did where he was asked point blank if the new trilogy was going to be a KOTOR venture. While he naturally wouldn't confirm it, he also didn't exactly deny it, either.

Ironically, I wanted to be spoiled for this film so that I could sit back, relax and take it all in on the first viewing.

But now, after multiple trailers, especially the most recent trailer, I have zero interest in being spoiled.

Hammock Parties 12-12-2017 12:28 PM
There is one minor spoiler in this so don't click it if you're afraid. I have picked out the best lines.

Star Wars has changed forever


Quote:
The Last Jedi is not just a bold, fresh and humorous new addition to the franchise - it's the one that will change it forever.

At the first London screening of the movie on Monday, Johnson came on stage and told the audience to "have fun". It was a perfect prelude to a film that doesn't shy away from the silliness which characterises the cult favourites we now watch with teary eyes.

All through the movie, there was laughter and cheering. The movie was engaging with a giant IMAX cinema, and the cinema was talking back.

And Johnson doesn't just salvage what the franchise lost - he also propels it forward, introducing 'grey' characters in a galaxy painted in black and white.

Johnson's Jedi are a little Sith, his Sith no longer monsters but humans.

In a widely advertised scene in the casino city of Canto Bight - reminiscent of the Mos Eisley cantina of Episode IV - a new character played by Benicio Del Toro explains how the same arms dealers who supply the Empire also supply the Resistance.

Johnson's biggest accomplishment is his characters, and the actors cast for them.

In a franchise plagued by awkward performances and hollow dialogues, The Last Jedi introduces us to a brilliant, layered Mark Hamill and a surprisingly charismatic new character called Rose.

But all eyes are on Adam Driver. The actor I once thought was too good for Star Wars has raised the bar to an unprecedented level.

And others around him seem propelled by his strength - determined to be better.

NO SPOILERS: I checked it out. Sounds like the current crop of spoilers over there are legit. Not sure how I feel about some of them. Gonna depend on the execution. Won't judge until I see it. I suppose its possible this is a really great disinformation campaign from Disney, as well. All of the reviews I've seen so far are overwhelmingly positive. A lot of them from hardcore SW fans, too.

I'm not reading any further spoilers but I've heard from inside Lucasfilm, Rian Johnson really turned the Star Wars galaxy "Upside Down" and that many people are looking forward to JJ Abrams return in Episode IX to "right the ship".

I won't know what that means until I see the movie but someone at Disney likes Rian's take or he wouldn't have been handed the keys to a new trilogy.

I'm a little concerned about the apparent lack of vision/direction. This shit should've all been mapped out before hand. I hope it doesn't leave a black mark on the trilogy. That said, I suppose Lucas didn't have a damn clue what he was doing in the OT and it worked out.

I'm not sure how I feel about Abrams coming back either. I'm just not crazy about the guy as a director. I don't hate him. I just don't love him. I am heartened by the good reviews I've seen, however. A lot of people calling it the "3rd best SW". That's pretty good.

Quote:
The Last Jedi takes full advantage of its sequel status and delivers a follow-up to The Force Awakens that expands upon that film’s characters and stories in exciting and frankly shocking ways.

Writer/director Rian Johnson deserves immense praise for taking big, bold moves with the narrative that feel subversive without being disingenuous to the story that’s come before. It’s a masterful balancing act in giving the audience what they want — a rousing adventure with compelling and fun characters — while simultaneously giving the audience what they need: a story that doesn’t adhere to predictability in order to please the widest possible audience.

But even then, Johnson delivers the crowd-pleasing action, endearing humor, and epic scope fans want out of Star Wars. Freed from the more reverent and fetishistic tendencies of J.J. Abrams, Johnson’s filmmaking style feels more like a natural evolution of the original trilogy than The Force Awakens. He still nails the grandiose moments like Abrams does, but he reserves being showy for moments that count.

And boy, are there moments that count in The Last Jedi. There are striking story beats that, while they do echo The Empire Strikes Back and even Return of the Jedi, manage to twist those familiar bits into twists that had me reeling backward into my seat.

The Last Jedi goes places that feel like the end of a saga rather than a middle entry. That actually helps make everything feel momentous and impacting. Instead of pulling punches for later entries, Johnson’s script holds nothing back and it pays off in enormous ways.

Oh, there's not a lack of direction or vision, it's just that Rian Johnson apparently took what came before him and turned it on its ear.

I don't see any issue with that, as The Force Awakens was a pile of garbage from a storytelling standpoint that failed to move the Star Wars narrative forward.

As for Abrams, he's a fine director that gets the most out of his cast but he consistently fails to create an interesting story, regardless of whether or not it was The Force Awakens or Mission Impossible 3, etc. and so on.

Super 8 could have been and should have been so much more.

He's just not a good writer.

Well, I'm glad to hear that. I would prefer that to another OT clone.

I really wish they weren't bringing Abrams back, though. I feel like he's the safe bet to make Disney a ton of money but not to make a really great film.

After the Lord & Miller, Josh Trank and Colin Trevorrow debacles, KK didn't have anyone else that she trusted for Episode IX.

I'm betting that Ron Howard makes a damn good Han Solo movie but he'll be in Post until at least March, so he wasn't an option for IX and with Rian Johnson's new trilogy, he wasn't an option, either.

It was definitely the "safe" move but she's made some rather unsafe moves in the hirings and firings as well.

After reading some of the leaks and plot summaries, I went from “I want to be sure to get tickets for Friday Night” to, “ I’ll probably wait for the PPV / Digital Download”.

Apparently, Johnson “turning the story on its ear” translates to “going full on idiot”.

The leaks I read (supposedly verified by 2-3 sources) sounds like full on fan fic trash.

That was my first impression but I only saw fairly small blurbs giving the major points. I don't think there's a single SW film that wouldn't sound like trash written like that. "Kermit trains farmboy into badass shaolin monk guy. He fights the bad guy, whoops his ass, and quits. Then the one bad guy (now a good guy) throws the other bad guy down a hole. The End." See what I mean? That's basically what's been floating around reddit.

Look at the positive reviews. I'm gonna see it before I judge.

I totally get your point, and I know the leak you’re referring to.

Since that initial, poorly written take - I’ve read some fairly well articulated ones that convey the same major plot points.

There’s 2-3 things in there I just can’t reconcile. I’d just assume save the $30.

There's really only one thing that sounds really bad to me. It jives with everything from a canon/lore perspective but it just sounds utterly ridiculous. MAJOR SPOILERS
Spoiler!
Another bit would be disappointing but not too bad.
Spoiler!
The other stuff I can live with if its done right.
Spoiler!


A lot of these moves kinda depend on how things go with IX, IMHO. I get your trepidation, though.

Yes - nailed it. Your 3rd spoiler is completely stupid and ridiculous to me, followed closely by the 1st. RJ should be kicked in the teeth for even writing this trash.

Th second doesn’t bother me as much, although there seemed to be build up to a backstory. Ultimately it appears that RJ decided to ignore that.

If people come out of this nitpicking little things then that’s great success. I have high hopes for an entertaining film. Rogue one was good but lacked slightly and def felt Netflix level release instead of major screen of that makes sense? Idk I’m stoked

We'll see how its handled. I've seen people calling it ridiculous and others saying it was great/done well.

EDIT:
Spoiler!

I really enjoyed Rogue One.

I hope I’m wrong about TLJ.

No, this makes no sense at all

Rogue one should have just been released on Netflix. I think it’s slightly overrated - started out very strong but got somewhat boring and lacking punch as the story went on.

A movie that earned universal praise and earned more than $1 BILLION dollars should have been released on Netflix?

What’s the ****?

I gave in and read the spoilers early this afternoon. About an hour ago, I did a Google search and found several valid corroborating articles but described these spoilers much more articulately than those bullet points.

That said, I'm actually happy that I read them and researched it because it will make Thursday night's viewing even more enjoyable.

Spoiler!


I'm looking forward to this movie now more than ever.

Really? I thought Rogue One was the best Star Wars movie that I've seen. And that goes back to the original, that I watched in a drive in as a kid.

You broke down pretty quick.:). (I'm not one to talk. I told myself to avoid spoilers and read your spoilers anyway).
